Mystery at Midnight

Two NightWings flew silently in the night. They didn’t dare make a word, and if they did, they were ought to be captured and possibly killed. One of the NightWings held a small, ebony-black egg against her chest. She was frightened, yet determined. She hugged the egg closer to her chest.
After a while, the pair of NightWings landed softly in a cave by the ocean. They heard the waves crashing against the shore, soothingly.
“Are we safe yet?” she asked once they walked into the cave.
The NightWing poked his head out of the cave for a moment and looked up.
“For now,” he said, “but right now, my love, we have to do what we promised.”
Silvery tears began to stream down her face.
“Galaxy, my dear, it’ll be alright,” he said softly.
Galaxy sniffed, nodded and then handed him the egg and started looking around the cave for something to make a nest out of.
“Here,” she said after a moment. She slithered away in the darkness and came back a moment later and laid down a couple dried-out leaves, and some sticks. “This will make a decent nest.”
He gently put the egg in the small nest. He then put a wing around Galaxy.
“Oh Nightfall,” she said, starting to cry, “what will happen to the egg?”
“It’ll be fine,” Nightfall said calmly, although he couldn’t stand leaving their only egg all alone. “It’s better off here than with us.”
He gently wiped off the tears that still streamed down Galaxy’s snout. Nightfall hated seeing her like this, sad and miserable. He remembered how happy Galaxy was when she had found out that she was pregnant with an egg. He remembered her beautiful teal-blue eyes shining when she had told him. Her bright, vivid purple under scales against his navy-blue ones . . . that memory always made him feel safe. Nightfall was afraid that the jovial, laughing Galaxy that he used to know was something in the past.
“I wonder what he’ll look like,” Galaxy said, the sadness now gone from her voice.
“I bet he’ll have your eyes,” Nightfall said, smiling.
“And your color,” she added. She stroked the navy-blue body-scales on his neck.
All of a sudden, there was a loud roar outside. They both looked up.
“We have to go,” Nightfall said urgently.
Galaxy reached down and stroked the egg lightly. “Alright,” she said, “lets go.”
They quickly ran out of the cave and lifted off silently into the night. Nor did they know that hours later a small scavenger would change that little egg’s life . . . forever.
