Hideaway Strath We could've been doing this all along

to keep things moving, I'm starting the third round! Please let @Lotus post first, and then no posting order! Also some mild time skip :>

 


Many waves of pain came, and Nyra battled through them all, until finally, at last, a white little potato was born. Not yet many signs of the markings her First-Born would bear in the future, and lovingly did the Battle Phoenix free her daughter from the sac, lick her until Lotus would be able to yip and cry as all newborns do. 
And Nyra pulled Lotus close to her stomach encouragingly, nosing the pup to one of her teats where she could suckle. 

......No more came. 

The pains completely ceased. Tired as Nyra was from her labor, a heartbroken sadness swelled in her hell-borne hues, knowing her daughter would be an only child this year. 


"Welcome to the hunt, my little Lotus." The Empress whispered just loud enough for the others to hear.
