Turtle breathed in. Fresh air filled his lungs. His wooden cabin was weak to the elements, and that's what he loved about it. He dipped his new "pen" into some ink. A SeaWing scribe had made this wonderful invention recently, a step up from anything they used before. Turtle wondered thoughtfully what he should write next. He'd been writing an adventure story he wanted to show to Kinkajou when it was done. I'm lucky to have this life. Free from everything – even… Turtle smiled. His animus power was nothing to worry about now. Oh, I do hope our child isn't an animus. It would probably ruin his life. But before he could dwell any further on this, Kinkajou came crashing in.
"Moon has great news for us!" Kinkajou exclaimed excitedly, hopping from foot to foot. Moon followed (in a much more calmer manner) her inside.
"What is it?" Turtle asked. Was it news from Jade Mountain? Had Peril sent a message?
"Your child, they're male." Moon replied with visible happiness. Turtle's mind went wild!
"What should we call him, Turtle?" Kinkajou asked.
"Call him…"
"WHAT?"
"Call him Brightfly"
