two things happened the moment acciptra entered this world: her little body made its entrance as a veil of stormcloud lifted, presenting a gravid moon which bathed the earth in dimglow. and two, a moment's silence eclipsed the din of the storm, ushering the dawn of a new age acciptra would come to witness.

she fell from warmth to something rudely cold, and clawed about with spiderling legs which failed to hoist her. in that glitterless light she resembled something other -- some earlier lifeform from a taxon long forgotten.
