Chapter Two: The Discovery, or The Naming of Blyrric

"What is it?" asked Robin.

"It is so small," said Starfire.

"Little guy's kinda cute," said Cyborg. He hated to admit stuff like that, so everyone just stared at him. "What?"

"I think it's a puppy," said Beast Boy.

"This isn't a dog's puppy," said Erin. "This…is a-a…a wolf pup."

"No way," breathed Robin.

"How could something so small and so young survive those waves?" asked Cyborg. That was now the question; how could it have survived? The pup was barely a newborn!

"Maybe someone put it there," darkly said Raven. "Maybe, it isn't a pup at all."

"My bio scanners already answered that question," informed Cyborg.

"And?" asked Erin.

"It really is a real wolf pup. But there's something weird about him."

"It's a he?" asked Robin.

"Yep. And it's about a month old. He's just napping." At that, the little black pup, previously on his back, twisted to his left, revealing small stubs on his back.

"Loose hair tufts?" asked Raven. Erin tried to smooth them down. Then she got a pale expression.

"What is it, Erin?" asked Robin, after she was silent for about five minutes.

"Those…those aren't fur tufts on his back," she said. "Those…those are wings."

"Impossible!" said Starfire. "You were the only one."

"I'm the only morph. This is a true winged wolf, that's rarer than Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, Beast Boy cleaning his room spotless-"

"Hey!" said Beast Boy.

"So," said Cyborg, "what do we do with him?"

"We keep him," said Erin. "Winged wolves are magical. And black ones are the most powerful. Do you realize what danger the city- no, the world- would be in if that type of magic got into the wrong hands!"

"I know," said Raven. "Winged wolves used to live on Azarath. But their magic was too strong; we couldn't keep peace with them. So we sent them to Earth."

"Since we're keeping him," said Robin, "Like all of us, he deserves a name."

"Shlorvak!" said Starfire. Everyone stared at her. "It means 'dream' in Tamaranian."

"Ohhh," came from the Titans.

"How about Cinder?" said Beast Boy.

Erin gave him a knowing smirk. "I know you want to name him in remeberance of Terra, but FYI, cinder is burned wood."

"Oh," said Beast Boy. "Never mind."

"We could call him Techno," said Cyborg.

Everyone gave him a sharp, "NO!"

"How about Shadow?" said Robin.

"Too dark. We're the good guys, remember?" said Erin.

Raven seemed deep in thought. Then it hit her. "Blyrric," she said.

"What?" said BB.

"Blyrric. It's like chiaroscuro in Azarath."

"I like that name," said Erin.

"'Blyrric,'" said Robin. "Kinda catchy."

"The name Blyrric is wonderful!" exclaimed Starfire.

"Cool," said Cyborg.

"So then it's settled," said Erin. "From this moment forward, this black winged wolf will be known as Blyrric!"

Robin pet Blyrric's side. "Welcome to the team, Blyrric," he said.
