Beneath a star-speckled sky of deepest navy, under the shadow of a new moon, a dark child was born.
He entered the world with ease, though he was sure to make his arrival known. As soon as teeth nipped him free of his connection to the one he'd come to know as Mother, when a cool nose bumped against his face to roughly clear his airway, his newly inflated lungs swelled to release the sharpest of yowls.
Breath swept over his slick hide and, nudged alongside the wriggling bodies of litter-mates he'd shared a womb with, the raven pup found comfort in their proximity. He settled, voice quieting to a soft murmur as he latched onto an offered teat to drink his fill.
