The world around Eske had tilted on it's axis and began to change in what felt like a whirlwind to the young grounder. It had all started with the fact that she had slowly begun to hear things. Nothing was clear or all that discernible to the grounder princess — most of the time it was white noise though a few words came across to her...not that she understood what exactly they were. She did not understand the words her mother spoke, nor any of the others that came to visit them. It was babble to her, yet not wanting to be left out — seriously how rude! — she tried to mimic the strange noises the adults made. It was still a bunch of unsatisfying coo's, followed by her famous banshee wails and demands, and a series of grunts but well, she thought she was doing good. That morning (it was always morning for Eske who really had no concept of time) she'd woken up and was contented to blindly fill her stomach as she suckled though slowly her eyes peeped open. She froze, the soft and pudgy muscles pulling taunt as she realized that she saw something.

She released the teat she'd been drinking from and wiggled back a few steps, blinking rapidly at the giant blur that was her mother, before her head moved to the shadowy blurs that was her siblings — not realizing that the expression upon her face was that of someone who was ultimately judging hardcore — before she let out a loud banshee wail. What the hell is this? the sound appeared to be communicating.
