Recap:
She looked down and saw an oval object, it glowed, it was of an azure blue colour with silver and white making a swirly pattern on it. It looks valuable, I wonder how much I can by selling this at the market in Urû'baen, she thought reluctantly, she picked it up was her eyebrows rose in shock for how light it was. It was so beautiful, she can't really depart with something this magnificent.
Chapter 6 – New Born Sister – Part one
Maita tenderly slid her fingers along the smooth yet hard stone. Her long square nails -which were painted red with three white dots in a line on each nail- didn't scratch the surface. Maita wondered over to where all her stuff lay. In her saddlebags -that she used as a pillow- had her supplies in -of course- it also had her gauntlet that covered her hand and lower arm, which she wore on her right hand, it would have a dagger hidden inside the gauntlet strapped in with leather straps.
When she got to her place she kneeled down on her blankets and then sat on the back of her legs and rested her bottom on her heel. She placed the stone, or whatever it was down and she reached for her saddle bags and began rampaging through them and took out a small blanket -It was big enough to be rolled around the stone- it was plain woolen and of a dark grey colour. She unfolded the blanket and rolled it out on her fore legs. Maita picked up the stone and placed it on top of the blanket and she began to wrap it up. Maita sighed exhaustedly, her eyes felt heavy, her muscles ached from a days hard ride. Maita placed herself back within her blankets and cuddled the wrapped strange stone closely. As soon as she shut her eyes the darkness of sleep and sweet visions of dreams came to her.

Meris was almost home, walking through the cold streets of Furnost. Now and again she would turn around and look anxiously towards the shadowed alleys and empty buildings. Blood stained her clothes and her last slipper. Her hair was a complete mess and clumps of hair was stuck together with cold dried blood. Meris was glad no one was out at this time, because if there was, they would want answers.
Someone would eventually realize that Thad had gone missing, and shortly after they would find his body torn in the middle and blood everywhere. But she was not going to help them look her him or his killer. They wouldn't know it was her, or really Melantha Blackstone. They of course wouldn't find Melantha, because Meris was, is Melantha. Meris must realize that her time in hiding is over, but how much time would she waste before she realizes? How many people would die before she realized?
Meris finally came to her gate, she unhitched the gate and opened it only a bit and she gave the street one last wary look, she felt as if everyone eyes within those remaining vacant buildings were all staring at her, though no one was awake, all asleep completely oblivious to what happened, and how monstrous, or rather ill Thad was, and what Meris had almost happened to her and what she just done. Would they ever know? Would they even ask? Meris look the top of her fence next to her gate, shook her head and sighed. She opened the gate further and entered her colourful property.

Maita stirred as a slight squeak reached her tired ears; she stirred but she didn't wake. The stone that she cuddled closely to her chest begin to wiggle under the blanket. The squeaks became louder and more urgent, Maita's eyebrows furrowed irritatedly from being woken from well deserved rest.
Maita woke slowly and opened her dark eyes to the sound of a high pitched squeaking that she was surprised that her ears didn't feel like they were bleeding. Maita became confused and took off her blankets and immediately pulled them back over her -but not over the strange object- when a cold breeze brushed her gold yet pale toned skin.
Maita shifted into a sitting position but held her two blankets on her close to her body, trying to leave as much of that cursed wind out as much as possible. She placed the wrapped object on her covered lap and she slowly unwrapped the odd stone that made strange noises. Noises? Stones don't make noises, do they? Maita thought wryly. Maita didn't know what to expect, she unfolded the last bit and sighed, the stone looked no different, just wiggled and made noises. Maita's eyebrows furrowed in thought, she gasped in surprise and her snapped up around the stone. Or should I say egg. She thought happily.
Maita sat on her back legs again and placed the egg in front of her -it's still on top of her blankets- and she watched with a huge grin on face, she reached forward and traced the slivery swirling lines against the azure blue. Her hands snapped back as a crack appeared quickly beneath her fingers, she stared at the egg in awe and a grin. A short chuckle escaped her rosy lips as the egg began to wobble more and more and roll to the side, she laughed as it was rolling away, but all she did was lean to the side a bit and pick it back up, she held the wiggling egg in her firm grip and two hands, she leaned back abit and she got her legs out from beneath the blankets and placed them on top.
Maita placed the egg back down in front of her and pressed her feet either side -so it won't roll away again- she straightened up and watched. The moon made her skin shine, the lake looked beautiful at this time, she quickly looked at the position of the moon and then straight back at the egg as it squeaked again.
The crack got longer, and more cracks came and added on to that one. A piece of blue shell popped off and hit Maita in face, it didn't hurt, and she just laughed at it, other pieces began to fly off, on the oval point of the egg and huge piece flew off and a strange looking head with a longish neck came out of the large gap. Maita saw it and grinned widely and turned the egg so the head would be upright, the creature fell back into the egg, and worried squeaks rose from inside. Maita laughed and started to take small pieces of shell away, but then suddenly the shell exploded apart and made Maita jump, but she still smiled and she laughed again. Small pieces of shell had hit her, but she didn't really notice.
She saw a small azure blue creature. It looked strange, it was about a half a metre long, from the tip of its smooth lizard like nuzzle to the tip of it long tail which was the exact double the length of it's neck. It's scaly skin was a shining azure blue, -like the egg- it's belly was a slivery yet whitish colour, it's talons, teeth, horns and the soft smooth membranes between the bony blue was the same colour as its belly.
The little creature sneezed, "Bless you," Maita chuckled, when the creature sneezed it couldn't help that it's wings had spread out and they were the same length of its body and wider. It's little head popped up to Maita when she spoke, it's eyes were completely white with a dark sliver slit pupil. What is this creature? What is it doing here? Why did it come to her?
The little head twitched the side. Maita looked at the creature in awe and felt the urge to touch it. She heard Mist stamp her front hoof in jealousy, she whined loudly and tossed her head and turn away from the site of her human friend and new born. Mist, the lovely grey mare began to chew away at the damp grass beside her.
Maita's hand reached forward but stopped in mid air. What would this creature do if she touched it? Would it bite her? Or would it accept her? The head of the small creature bobbed up, and it took two tiny steps forward -the steps were tiny because of the creatures small legs- and it lifted it's nuzzle -she thought it was a nuzzle- and the rounded tip of it touched Maita palm -which was facing downwards- there was a bright blue light and a sharp piercing pain shot up Maita's arm and almost made her loose consciousness, it made her fall backwards and make her head hit the damp grassy floor next to her saddle bags.
The pain was gone within the next 30 seconds, Maita groaned and lifted her head up when she felt a weight upon her stomach, then her chest, the creatures little head appeared in her blurry vision, Maita saw colorful dots everywhere she looked, mostly blue oddly enough. Maita felt the sharp talons on the creatures feet dig into her flesh. She stroked it's head again after hesitating, worried about what would happen, but nothing happened, apart from the creature purring like a cat.
The little head snapped to the direction of the lake, the creature jumped of Maita chest, using it's wings for help, and began awkwardly trotting towards the lake. Maita quickly got up and looked regretfully towards the creature as it jumped in the lake and began to paddle towards the centre. It's head bobbing up and down on the surface of the water as it's limps and wings worked underneath the surface.
Maita smiled sadly and shifted her weight on to the other leg. Maita watched the creature enjoy the calm fresh water with the extra guidance the moon and stars gave. The creature swam for the reflection of the moon, it got to it and went into the centre, then it's head and neck completely disappeared underwater.
Maita sad smile wet changed into an even sadder expression, she looked towards her booted feet and nodded knowingly. Even though she spent, what 5 minutes with the thing? She missed it, as if she loved it. She knew that she wasn't ever going to it again, she though she had gained something, but she wrong, nothing had come out of this night except a sad memory that she would never understand.
