Thanks for reviewing!
For those of you who don't know, I will be using the regular Tamaranian names. That means, Starfire is Koriand'r; Blackfire is Komand'r; their mother and father is Queen Luand'r and King Myand'r. If you didn't know that, well… (points finger at reader) IMPOSTER BLACKFIRE FAN! jk
Oh yeah, and in case I previously forgot… I don't own Teen Titans. End of story.
Chapter 2 The Birthright
When the eldest child of the Tamaranian royal family was born, trumpets did not sound.
When the eldest child of the Tamaranian royal family was born, there was no loud cheering, feasting, or blowing of big purple gorka pipes.
The eldest child of the Tamaranian royal family was born with a different noise echoing through her little ears.
Loud explosions.
Wails of Terror.
The planet's capital Kysaar was under attack by the Citadel Empire.
The whole royal palace was in a panic as people rushed frantically to the aid of their beloved king and queen.
The beautiful Queen Luand'r was unharmed and so was the child. But the strange fact that the heir to the throne was born on the very day the war begun did not go forgotten.
The nurses tended to the tiny baby, but their eyes shown with superstitious fear.
"M- My bumgorf," the revered mother stammered loudly reaching her arms out. "My bumgorf, is she alive? Is my bumgorf alright?"
"Please calm yourself, your majesty," one of them replied on her knees beside the mother's bed. "The child is alive."
"All these explosions are ringing in my head," wailed Luand'r to herself. "Oh please, quiet my child. These explosions must be scaring her."
"Actually," the girl began. "She has not yet uttered a sound."
She cuddled the baby and handed it to her queen's weak arms, and it was true. The baby wasn't crying, rather, it was facing towards the loud booming and screaming of citizens with curiosity.
Another loud explosion rang out as the Citadel's ships bombed a large building which collapsed on impact causing the building to shake. The queen was still aware of her duty and position and awkwardly tried to walk towards the tall window.
"Your grace!" the girl said staring.
The queen just nodded towards her and started towards the window still coddling her baby. Her husband was there staring out of the window as well. She joined him and gazed in awe. The sky was blazing with flame and black with smoke. Buildings were in ruins and citizens covered the sky flying and screaming in panic.
"Oh, X'hal," the king muttered in amazement and then just seemed to notice the child. He ran his large hand down her tiny little head as the child faced the destruction and chaos. Her eyes were closed, but she stayed silent, just soaking it in.
Perhaps they should never have allowed a newborn baby to hear such sounds, such bedlam and mayhem. Even if she didn't cry at the sight. Even if she was born on the day thousands of others passed in her name.
The first sounds that you hear when you enter this world make all the difference in your life. They will echo endlessly through the labyrinth of your head forever. The first sounds make all the difference, especially when you are born into this world blind.
But that wasn't the last wonder of the eldest child of the Tamaranian royal family.
They will later find out that she could not fly.

Please R&R. But first, you may be wondering why Blackfire's born blind! That is because Tamaranians are descended from cats so it would seem reasonable that Tamaranians are born blind. If you wish to argue about this then go find yourself a seeing Tamaranian newborn and show me.
