Dawn of the beginning
Prologue
The countless stars in the skies lit up the otherwise dark night. Flickering stars were not alone, mist dangled like a maiden's shroud around the pallid moon. Shrill cries of nocturnal creatures rang throughout the place, sending cold shivers down any listener's spine.
Under the starlit skies, two figures trudged slowly in their trails, as if knowing that they are not welcome in that desolated place, and none of their businesses should ever be performed there. The jeering moon scorned at their presence, with the stars echoing the other's thoughts: Go home. You have no business here. Her slivery skin reflected off the beams of moonlight, resembling shed tears, while her mate's fiery tail flame bears a sharp contrast with the despair which had lit up her pale face. But alas, what about a dying request?
She laid her right wing on his right paw, as if pleading, no begging, for him to end her emotional strain, as if asking for him to changer his decision before it is too late. But in her heart, she knew that nothing is going to change, their fates, including her two unborn twin children, are sealed in stone…
The smaller figure clinched the bundle of hers firmly, but relented when the other gave a sharp nod. She had to do it,at least for her child's sake.
Helplessly and hopelessly, she walked, intimidated by the huge opening of the millions-old cave, and placed the bundle down on the sliverish stone overlooking it. She gave a last glance and a final tender peck upon the fragile shell after unwrapping a little of the protective layers.
She soon replaced the covers, and scurried off to where her companion is waiting. The hood can hide her face, but trickles of tears have flowed down her ashen white cheeks, and the motherly gestures have told it all. Mama is going to miss you…Miss your first word, miss your sweet laughter which I'll never get to hear…
Returning back to her love's side, she had never felt so unsure. However, she will need to be accustomed to this, there is another egg left… As she is recollecting her thoughts, she nodded restrainedly with her sapphire pools glistering with a mother's farewell. She tried to fight back her tears, wanting to be strong, but her mate embraced her and allowed her emotions to flow. I am sorry, son…I don't want to…But perhaps this will be better for you and me…
Two bodies that shared one mind, mates- for- life, were now shuffling towards their destination- the last request before the beckon of death.
Then, they returned back to the shadows, back to their destined doom. The inhuman place lays unfazed by their wake, and seemed to be like what it has been ,like the arrival of the trespassers had never occur…
