The wind howled as the storm raged. A brunette woman, wrapped tightly in red shawls wearing only sandals as shoes raced up the mountain. As she was about to reach the top, she swerved to left, narrowly avoiding a tree. Despite the ferocity of the wind, the weather was pretty warm. With a thud, she hit the meadow at the top. She ran through it with a wild, animalistic-ish, yellow gleam in her eyes.

Finally, after what seemed an aeon, she spotted her destination, a red and white farmhouse at the end. She ran at super-human speed towards it, a lady with brown hair waiting for her.

"Amatis," she greeted, hugging the elder lady.

"Vera," she hugged back.

They separated, "I trust you brought him," said the elder lady, Amatis.

"Of course," said the brunette, opening a fold in her red robe and producing a tiny, baby boy.

The elder brunette gasped, "my, he's so precious," she said, taking the baby and cradling him, "he looks so much like you."

Vera smiled, "thank you."

"And you're sure?" asked Amatis.

"Positive, I realized the other night when he was crying."

"Ahhh," said Amatis, an elongated fingernail being used as a play-toy by the innocent little one.

"It hurts," said Vera, "to have to let go."

"I know," smiled Amatis, "but it's the best you could do, he's safer here anyways."

"I know," nodded Vera, "thank you, Amatis, for this."

Amatis smiled, her blue eyes twinkling, "anything for you, old friend."

Vera nodded, "Thank you, I best be off now, the baby's father will be wondering where I am."

Amatis nodded in understanding, "I know, what'll you tell him?"

"I'll say a swarm of vultures got him, rough myself up a bit, you know," she sniffed.

"Hey now," comforted Amatis, cradling the baby's head, "you're doing the right thing here."

"So why does it feel like the wrong thing?" asked Vera, tears escaping her eyes.

Amatis looked at her, blue eyes melding with green, "all the right choices you make feel wrong, Vera, it's part of life."

Vera nodded tearfully, and turned to leave, but a hand on her wrist stopped her.

"You'll be back, right?" asked Amatis.

"I'll try," nodded Vera.

"And his name?"

"Hiccup."
