Fairy Egg

'What is this egg by the way?'

Nero was interrupted when a small hand stopped her from leaving. Turning around, Theta Mariyah looked down at the kid with sad eyes.

Squatting down to level her eyes with the child, Theta patted the child's sheep-like horn. "I have to go back or my group will be worried about me. You have to go back too or your family will be worried sick for you."

Reluctantly, the child let go of Theta even when his eyes were filled with unshed tears. For the second time, Theta was about to turn around and leave when multiple shadows appeared out of nowhere.

When she looked up, she was met by dozens of horned beings similar to the child! Some were perched on their roofs while some where looking out from the windows. Most of them were standing by their doors, looking down at Theta Mariyah and Nero with smiling eyes.

"Look, your family is looking for you." Theta Mariyah nudged at the scene behind the child.
