Redhawk Caldera swanlight

before he was born in a lapse of time in the gloaming, eagle elijay stirs.

everything was shifting, his heartbeat pittered as if hummingbird wings, and all of his utilities were turned off!

now he was being expunged from his apartment because of withheld deposit ... whoopsies.

it wasn’t overly elegant as all births were, but he came from a humble place as the firstborn son, so by the time he attained consciousness,  the entire world decidedly would fall onto his shoulders.

as soon as he was released from the placenta, a hearty screech greeted his audience, dampening into tiny warbles and cries as he diddled about earthside.

a dozen ounces of joy born to the young parents (soon to be sixteen if he could cop a teat).

the young eyas would commit the heartbeats of his mother and ruddy-cheeked siblings to his first memory (soon to dissipate), and the swathe of heat emitting from his father’s was welcomed.
