from within the soft and familiar warmth of their pater’s wings, as stella’s lavender gaze drifted along the crystalline beaches of barracuda bay, the thoughts of playing among such beautiful nature had stella pumping pure excitement through her veins. was this just the start of what the outside world had to offer? awe-inducing majesties? at the soft sounds of their pater’s encouraging words, inciting the small swarm of fumbling youthful messes forth, stella gave one last glance towards her pater, her siblings too wrapped up within the warm cocoon of their pater’s loving wings. before the ambitious child went forth.

feeling the mild sands sinking deep into stella’s pink toes, encompassing them with their warmth, lavender hues were taken by the sea and its glass-like waters washing up gently against the white shores. it probably was fun to splash amongst the gentle waves idle thoughts mused. moving slowly towards the waters despite the cloak still attached to her neck that would not meld well with moisture, stella felt their heart burst with bliss at the sight for a fleeting moment suddenly filled with startle and embarrassing nervous energy. somehow stella had failed to envision these lands inhabited by anyone other than her loving and familiar family, the little child shocked by the form of someone unfamiliar and foreign to her side. in fact, many more of these unfamiliar people had come to the beck and call of stella’s pater and were investigating the child and her siblings like new shiny things. others lived here, those of which stella knew few names of like the captain’s, but never had stella ever seen their physical form. why were they so much bigger than stella’s dads? frightening. but that feeling, fear, it went against every expectation of maturity that stella had come to expect of herself, it wasn’t what the small and lithe child wanted to feel after four months of growth.

pushing their nervous fears to the side as best as she could, stella puffed out her chest proudly and let their expression not hold any clue to the real emotions the hybrid felt inside as she held her head high. ”stella rosario.” what else did an introduction entail exactly? the monotonous reciting of her name seemed enough, but the confused glances from strangers around her made stella reflect on her choice of words and wonder why such a reaction had been elicited. ”h-hello?” surely now that was enough. stella nervously picked at her cloak, only lavender eyes peaking out from behind the alabaster fabric as they darted from the strangers to the comforting sight of her siblings and pater.
