The Night Mother's Children (BIRTHING THREAD)

----------------------------------------------------------- o -----------------------------------------------------------

A high pitched yelp of victory from the shadow kid broke the silence in the den, the tiny shadowball had made it to the top of the hill, awkwardly moving his newborn bag of a body with great effort, but he had made it nonetheless. That was a pretty badass achievement for someone who had spent no more than three minutes in the world, wasn't it?

But the joy of it didn't last long, for an unknown fore that he would soon call mom promptly lifted his tiny self and placed him right back where he started, right at the bottom of the mountain. There was nothing that the nameless boy could do against that... Well.. At least he had his own teat to feed on without any of the other two to bother him, and the warmth of his caring mother was comforting. The dark boy suckled fiercely until his big belly was full, and soon fell asleep, not caring about anything else out there.
