A/N I finally decided to write a story on Thrax's childhood. I'll also continue through "Almira's Story", showing his POV on meeting Almira. I don't own Thrax; he belongs to Warner Bros. I DO own his surname, his family, and other characters you don't recognize from Osmosis Jones.
Prologue
Elaine Muerja lay in the hospital bed, feeling very tired and worn out. Despite her exhaustion, she felt proud and happy. After several hours, her baby was finally here.
"You wanna see him, darlin'?" Her husband, Joseph, asked, holding the bundle of cloth. He had light maroon skin, golden yellow eyes with dark green irises, and several black dreadlocks tied in a ponytail, trailing down his back. His cheekbones were long and sharp, and his chin was long, pointing back to his chest. His eyelids were dark maroon, making his eyes seem very dark and mysterious.
Elaine, on the other hand, had maroon skin, golden yellow eyes with light green irises, and light purple hair that wasn't dreadlocked, but was similar to human hair. Her cheekbones and chin were soft in angle terms, and her eyelids were dark maroon, though not as dark as Joseph's.
She smiled, "Yes. It's a boy?"
"Yes it is, Elaine," Joseph said, handing her their new baby. "Our son."
Their tiny son had maroon skin, six little purple dreadlocks, and dark maroon eyelids. His cheekbones and chin looked like Joseph's, although not as long, or as sharp yet. He slowly opened his eyes; they were like any other Red Death's: golden yellow. But his irises were light green, yet darker than his mother's.
She smiled at him. "Hello, my baby."
"What shall we call him?" Joseph asked.
After thinking it over, Elaine suggested, "How about Thraximus; Thrax for short? Thraximus Red Muerja."
"Thraximus," Joseph tried the new name. "It certainly rolls off the tongue. I like it."
"Our little Thrax," Elaine smiled, kissing his forehead. "Our baby; our little muerte roja."
What Thrax's parents didn't know was that he would indeed become La Muerte Roja; true to his species' nature, he would kill with his fiery touch. But first came his childhood, shaping him onto what he came to be...
A/N Short prologue ^-^ XD
So we're introduced to Thrax's parents :D I tried to give them color and facial/hair features that when mixed, we get Thrax. Elaine's chin, jaws and cheekbones are more rounded and "softened" than Thrax's and Joseph's are longer and sharper. And I suppose Elaine's skin is a bit darker than Thrax's, and her hair is lighter in color than his.
How many of us wants to see baby Thrax, raise your hands XD
