I was tapping my beak against the shell that surrounded me. I was almost out of this tiny prison when CRACKKKKKKKK! The shell split in half and I flopped onto the floor. Everyone gasped and awwed at me. Then, some one said "It's a girl! What should we name her?"

"You should name her Lyra!"

"No, too common. Her name will be. . . Soara!"

"What?! What kind of name is this, I have never heard this name before in my life!"

"That's the whole point of the name, uncle!"

While the three squabbled I regained my strength and got up. Next, I managed to pop an eye open, then the other! I hopped over to them and stated "I like the name Soara and I'm hungry." Everyone in the hollow stopped and stared at me. Then, the owl that I assume is my mommy said, "I get a cricket for your first bug ceremony!" and with that she left the hollow to get a cricket.


Sorry, this is all I have for now. I'm doing this all on my phone and it will take me a bit to type up the next chapter. I will try to not take to long to type it up and thanks for reading this story! It means a lot to me that someone is willing to read my work.
