Harr'Ikke rested on the floor among the thousand of pillows that littered the floor in her room, silently relaxing. In addition to her normal Helashio in the room, four Fyunnen warriors stood in the room. Everyone knew it was near time for the eggs to hatch and the warriors had been sent as extra protection to help the queen should the need arise. It was just Sen'Ythy being careful, but the Xiaah much appreciated it. One of the Helashio lay curled up next to Harr'Ikke, nearly purring aloud as she helped the queen to relax a little more during one of her brief stints of relaxation away from the eggs, both of which were in the bottom of her nest. That rest would be shattered though as a crackling and popping sound could be heard. Twitching her ears and jerking up, Harr'Ikke shot to the edge of the nest, staring down into the small expanse with wide eyes. It wouldn't be even a thought later before her brother received a rather powerful overriding command. "GET IN HERE NOW!" The sheer pain of the command would take him to his knees, though it was not intentional
"Angh!" Velor growled as he literally fell out of the chair which he was seated in outside of the room his sister was seated in. He ended up dropping a rather delicate data pad which he was trying to fix... well, at least it was broken before being broken some more. Of course, the data pad was not Velor's concern now as he sprang to his feet, and as soon as he had his bearings he charged into the room where his sister was. "Sister! What do you need of me?!" He asked in a near shout, but then he saw the eggs. "It is time!" He exclaimed in absolute joy as he quickly strode to the side of the nest.
Destiny was already down into the nest, stroking the eggs tenderly as the Helashio were gently ushered back by the Fyunnen. While they were eager and curious, they were respectful as well.
A long crack soon ran along one of the eggs, from the tip of the egg down to the base, before more cracks branched off from the first. It was the male's egg that had the large crack, and seemed to be eager to get out and explore now. The female's egg seemed to be having some difficulty unfortunately, the egg seemingly too strong.
Velor's every step was careful as he moved closer to the eggs, and he soon came to his knees as he crawled closer and knelt beside his sister as he watched the eggs closely. "Dear sister... do you think it is her time yet?" Velor asked as he looked to his daughter's egg, of course the female of the pair was the most important at this time, since the male seemed to be doing so well on his own.
As if to answer the question, the egg jumped up, a loud crack resounding in the room as a piece of the egg popped up and off the egg, falling in front of Velor's knees. A ice blue eye peered out at Harr'Ikke. "Look! Look! She's looking at me!"
"She has your eyes!" Velor commented as he peered into the breach of the egg. "Come on little ones... a little more and you'll be out from your cramped shells, and you'll be in our arms."
A little growl came from the shell of the female as tiny fingers wrapped around the edges of the shell and began to tear back. The male's egg began to squirm around a little, rocking back and forth quickly.
"Ah little ones, you can do it..." Velor then turned his gaze to one of the Helashio which stood by. "Hurry! Go fetch some mildly warm water, the softest towels you can find, and the clothes which we have prepared. Go quickly." Velor made a shooing gesture before he returned his attention to the eggs.
The helashio already had the items ready, a dry towel and a wet towel waiting to be handed down to Velor. The girl tore back a few more bits of the egg. She seemed eager to get out. The male egg on the other hand bounced once before the crack grew, small bits of the egg falling away to reveal the boy beneath it.
Velor gladly took the items from the Helashio with a small mutter of thanks. "Sister, their wash is ready." Velor stated, he knew she'd be eager to wash them of the left over slime which coated their pale skin. Velor also knew full well that his sister would want to be the first to touch their flesh. However, Velor did dare to lean close enough to gaze into the eyes of his son, which stared back at him, they shimmered a green so dark that Velor thought they were merely black for a moment, until the light made them stand out in brilliant vibrance.
The Helashio quickly retreated away, realizing that she needed to be back. Harr'ikke's eyes were on her daughter's eyes, locked in such an intense gaze that it seemed as if the two were getting ready to fight. The egg began to lose more and more ground until finally the small girl lay nude in the nest, crawling directly towards her mother. Shaking now, Harr'Ikke held out her arms and gathered her daughter into her arms, ignoring her brother for the moment.
A smile crossed Velor's lips as he watched his sister, but soon he returned his attention to his son as he picked him up from the remains of the shell. "My dear son, rest in my arms while you await your mother's attention." Velor smiled softly down at his son as he used one of the plush towels to dry him of the left over egg-slime so he would not get a chill.
Harr'Ikke never truly wiped off the muck, it simply transfered to her as she held her child, smiling softly as she let her wings close around herself and her new daughter.
Velor had a deep hope that his sister would pay attention to both of their children soon, but he knew that he should give her time with the heir to the throne. You'll have your turn, son. Velor thought, but for the moment he took inventory of his son's features... toes, fingers, wings, the soft fuzz which coated his head.
Harr'Ikke soon unfurled her wings, the scarf which had been around her neck now wrapped about her daughter. The young one seemed to pierce her father with her mothers same intense glare, as if judging him now to be a fit father or not. The Xiaah held out her daughter for Velor to hold as she beckoned her new son closer.
When presented with his daughter, Velor could not help but to feel his heart pound within his chest, even with this excitement though, Velor's hands remained steady as he delivered his son into Harr'ikke's arms, and in nearly the same motion, he took his daughter into his own. "She has your very same gaze... she will be a good Xiaah." Velor said softly to his sister.
"Of course she will, she is my daughter..." Harr'Ikke said aloud as she took her son into her arms. With a small smile she drew him to herself as well before wrapping her wings around the two of them.
Just as Velor did with his son, he examined his daughter carefully, taking close inventory of her features from head to toe. "Absolutely perfect, just as the Goddess intended." He said in a whisper to his daughter. "Thank you, oh great Goddess."
As Harr'Ikke unfolded her wings, the boy was already asleep in his mother's arms, the daughter looking sleepy as well. "Come dear brother...the little ones need their sleep." Harr'Ikke was already laying herself back to rest with the young children.
"Yes, of course my sister." Velor carefully moved with his daughter held in his arms. He soon laid beside his sister while spreading his wing out over his daughter, and son who laid between him and Harr'Ikke. "I feel, that this day must have the Goddess' greatest of blessings."
"Indeed the Goddess has blessed us today...But remember brother, tomorrow is another day, another day to bring about our great Goddess' blessings upon us." Harr'Ikke grinned widely, watching her brother for a moment before closing her eyes.
