Every day since he had found the precious blue egg the stallion had cared for it the best he could. He was careful to never put to much pressure on it, or let it get to cold. He was still taking care of it, even when he was patrolling the land. Ever since the herd meeting Daemyn had been doing double patrols, taking advantage in his lack of peaceful sleep. It wasn't easy carrying a stick around all the time, but he couldn't just leave the defenseless egg alone. Pondering what kind of creature that was swaddled in the warm embryonic fluids. He had almost convinced himself that it was just a random birds egg, or maybe a snake's that had somehow been moved from it's safe nest. But some small hopeful part hoped it was something more, maybe like the dragon's he had seen flying around him. It didn't even have to be a dragon to make him happy, anything would be more than perfect. No matter what it was, companion or not, he would take care of the baby snoozing inside. A soft smile drew his kissers up slowly as lilac eyes gazed down at the stick now between his striped hooves.

It twitched roughly and he threw his nose down towards it. Was it finally time for the baby to leave the safety of it's shell? Excitement coursed through him as he watched the egg intently. The twitching and rocking increased rapidly and a small crack formed on the exterior. "Come on little guy, you're so close!" The rocking stopped for a moment before increasing it's struggles. Suddenly the blue shell fell apart revealing a small black and brown puppy. He gasped as his bright eyes fell upon it. His mind seemed to expand and he could feel a strange ravenous hunger ripple through him. Dark hazel eyes met amethyst for a moment before Daemyn reached forward to carefully lick the pup clean. His heart warmed intensely as he realized the bond that had been instantly made as the fluffy beast had burst forth into the hot world.

Smiling brightly they stared at each other before the pup wobbled carefully towards him. As he tripped the dark muzzle flashed out to catch him from hitting the ground. A small yelp sounded from the startled boy before he realized his bonded caught him. Smiling warmly at his new companion he thought of names. "How does Mato sound? It means bear, and you look like the cutest bear cub I've ever seen." His deep thunder was soft and loving. Small pink tongue flicked out to gently lick the dark muzzle he was now leaning on.
