The bird tilted its head and hopped toward me, tapping its beak against my hand. “Giving presents?” Arc asked. “I… ugh, I don’t know,” I cupped my hand and held it toward the bird. It dropped a rock into my hand. I turned it over, inspecting it. It had an odd, blunt teardrop shape but other than that there was nothing of note. It was very small, and there was no hint of crystal. “This isn’t even a geode,” I sighed. “Why did you bring this to me?” “Egg!” Lily shouted with conviction. “No, Lil, this is just a pebble… it’s way, way too small to be an—” *kkrktchhh* “[i]…Egg.[/i]” Pepper is a fae, and we had one other in the lair.

Entry 10

I needed a rest. I needed one badly. I’d been working all night and day with hardly any downtime.

I was exhausted. I wanted to sleep.

But I couldn’t.

I couldn’t relax not knowing if the kids were okay—I could hear them playing happily, and I could hear the bear stomping around with them, but logic was losing in the battle against my newfound paranoia that something would happen.

I could have called them in, but that wasn’t fair to them at all when they had spent so much time indoors anyway.

“They’re fine, they’re fine. They’re fine you idiot, go to sleep,” I growled at myself in an aggravated mantra. I needed rest to be able to hunt and scavenge that night. I reminded myself of these facts over and over until I realized all I was doing was getting riled up.

I stretched out and found as comfy of a position as possible, figuring that if I couldn’t force my mind to rest I could at least recoup some energy by getting my body to do so.

After what must have been hours, the hatchlings and bear returned.

I informed them it was naptime, and the two ignored their new beds in favour of lying down next to me. I was too tired to protest, and having them safe in the cave was enough comfort for me to fall into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but the ruffling of wind in my mane was what first disturbed me. I doubt it would have been enough to wake me up on its own—being pecked in the face, however, certainly was. I jumped to my feet and turned to face my attacker.

The webwing had come back and was standing on the floor staring up at me. It squawked.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” I snarled in a groggy rage.

Arc, Lily, and the bear had woken up and were staring in silent confusion.

It squawked again, opening its beak wider. There was something in its mouth.

“What do you want?” I asked, exasperated.

The bird tilted its head and hopped toward me, tapping its beak against my hand.

“Giving presents?” Arc asked.

“I… ugh, I don’t know,” I cupped my hand and held it toward the bird.

It dropped a rock into my hand. I turned it over, inspecting it. It had an odd, blunt teardrop shape but other than that there was nothing of note. It was very small, and there was no hint of crystal.
“This isn’t even a geode,” I sighed. “Why did you bring this to me?”

“Egg!” Lily shouted with conviction.

“No, Lil, this is just a pebble… it’s way, way too small to be an—”

*kkrktchhh*

…Egg.

Pepper is a fae, and we had one other in the lair. But I had never seen a fae egg until that moment.

Or well, maybe I had before.
It’s certainly possible; it turns out they’re ridiculously tiny.

And so was the dragon that flopped awkwardly about on my hand as it tried to find its footing. Its colours were incredibly bright. I’d never had anything cause such strain to my eyes aside from the sun itself.

@Kaial

Yay, new egg! Actually, I've been wondering something about that "Regret" writing prompt in your tumblr. Did Wafer really love Lapis, or was he just in it for the "thrill?"
