Crack, crack!
The rainbow egg began to crack, pieces of the shell started to fall over the floor, revealing a small, rainbow feather from within.
"Chupiii! My child! Come on, get out! Get out and meet your mama!" said Nephiana, she was excited that our child was finally about to hatch from its egg.
"Rainbow feathers… I've never seen anyone give birth to a rainbow-feathered harpy back then… this is a first" muttered Kenik, Nephiana's father.
"Indeed… should I help it get out of the shell?" I asked. I found that there was little reason to let it struggle to get out by itself.
"Kireina-sama, you don't have to…" muttered Kenik.
"No, Kireina-san, we must let the chick use its own strength to hatch! It is its first trial in this life, it will help it mold a strong character!" said Nephiana.
"Is that so…?"
