Hello and welcome to chapter 3! I'll let the chapter speak for itself. ENJOY!
Chapter 3
Full Moon
Perspective: Speckles
I yawned lazily in the increasingly cramped space I had been confined in as long as I could remember. However it was as if the barrier between the great beyond and I were weakening every day. First I saw light, piercing through my shell. Then I could hear voices. The soothing voice of my mother, and the chatter of my siblings, but tonight something was different, there was a new voice, I couldn't understand, and tonight I knew that my night to finally escape into the outside world had come. I was born on the night, of an exceptionally beautiful, full moon. I burst free from my shell, and stared at the stars for the first time. I looked over and was surprised. My mother stared back at me, although this is not what perplexed me, instinct had prepared me for her, what it had not warned me of was the face that was next to her. A metallic mask stared down at me. Despite my inexperience in this world I knew that what was towering above me, was not normal. I cowered back in fear, only letting him examine me after my mother explained to me his purpose.
"He's healthy." The creature said.
"Why do you have such large arms?" I asked as I slurred my first words and struggled to get out of my shell.
"It allows me to manipulate objects in my environment, like this." He said as he carefully broke the shell and lifted me out.
"What do you think his name should be?" My mother asked.
"Only the mother or father should name their child." He replied.
"Well you're going to be a father figure are you not?"
He looked away.
"No. I'm not."
He said as he turned around and headed into a cave.
"I will return on your first birthday, I need to hear up and mentally prepare."
And like that, he was gone.
