    Kebechet's experience in Blizzardclan had been a positive one so far. She'd explored most of the main island at that point, making sure she'd looked through absolutely every bush, in absolutely every ditch, up absolutely every tree. She found baby birds being fed by their mother, a badger that was clearly not interested in having his rest disturbed. A small pond filled with koi had entertained her for a while, too, as she studied their movements with extreme detail, noting the intricate coordination with one another. A dance of orange and white, of yellow and black. The water twisted with them, and she could see the currents they followed. She dipped the tip of her paw in– the water was cold, and the fish fled from the ripples she'd created.


    Suddenly, Kebechet became acutely aware of a tingling in her ears, like a soft, gentle hissing. She knew it was there– the sound was very much real– and her head turned slowly, deliberately, searching for its source. Near the pond was a rock, or what she had previously mistaken for a rock, and it shook. A line appeared down the center, then another, and another. Before long, a small, reptilian head poked out, jet black and complete with a set of violet eyes.


    Eyes like hers.


    At first, Keb was confused, but she was a strong believer in fate, and wouldn't turn it away today. The huge mutant settled easily, curling her body around the egg while leaving plenty of room between it and her body. She would wait for the thing to hatch, and then, she decided, she would take it with her, nurture it, raise it. The name she meant to give it was one of significance, one of power and kinship to her. Apophis.


    //based on the ooc prompt i was given! apophis is a newborn indigo snake!

    Ah, this place was full of wild strangers, just waiting for an encounter. Sure, Henry had seen some interesting folk in his like. Plegia was a diverse landscape, even if it was mostly desert; it was full of all kinds of creatures and beings of which he was the most uninteresting.


    The mutant was someone that he had previously failed to encounter, so maybe she could excuse his nosiness. It was coincidence that he approached the koi pond (a sacred place, most likely. he wouldn’t touch unless it was to be cursed), or maybe fate, because he only witnessed the stranger curled up with something considerably more serpentine at her bosom.


    Henry paused, blinking blandly and mouth just barely quirked with a forever-there half smile. The corners of his eyes crinkled curiously; he padded closer softly, like he expected to get his throat ripped out, but wouldn’t really complain if he did. “You didn’t just give birth, didya?” he asked, flicking a velvety ear. How strange if she did.
