In the beginning, there was life.

No eye had seen what transpired in the secret place of his creation. Not even Boris, whose silvered substance formed between two woven tapestries of gold. He only knew life: a light given him despite the present darkness.

And today, he would know another thing: warmth.

He had always felt it, but never knew it until he slipped into the chill of the world he had been made for, and drew a sharp breath into the lungs he never knew he had, and he gave a sharp cry. But his voice stilled when he found himself wrapped in familiar heat and familiar smells again. Boris pressed into the side of his mother and sought to wrap himself in the comfort of her presence.

Something had shifted in the things he knew, and in time, the little one would learn them all. Yet here he was content, for now and for many days to come, to simply suckle until he lapsed into a heavy sleep.
