Well, that would be one way to take care of an egg. They were all standing around, answering the ridiculous questions, when the theme shifted suddenly. The harpy creature changed her tactics in a swift moment, going from cradling the egg in her talon to tossing it over the pit of fire. And everyone fell for it.

Syrena didn’t have wings, she didn’t have special teleportation powers. She couldn’t actually physically move fast enough to out-take the throw that had a couple seconds (and growing) advantage. So what, she got to it in time for it to start the decline into the flames? She wasn’t about to literally throw herself into a pit of fire to save an egg because what was the point? She’d soften the blow of the thing but then they would both burn. Why would she kill herself without an end?

She watched as the others launched into action but she stayed where she was, cocking a hind foot and tilting her head. Now, she was pretty selfish - there was no one else in this world she’d rather protect than herself. Her sisters might come in a close second but when it came to sacrificing herself, Syrena just did not see the point. It was just a different level of selfishness. They were making themselves feel better, believing that they could change fate by leaping and teleporting and flying after the little egg. The horned girl would burn and what was she hoping to catch the egg with? Did she have the magic to spontaneously grow monkey arms out of her chest? They needed something to grip the thing and the equine form just wasn’t made for that.

Really, the winged one had the best chance. The rest of them had none.

Was she the only one that saw it?

Syrena thinks it's illogical to throw
herself into a pit of fire which would only result in killing herself and
the egg.
