*"How the ancestors have blessed us this day."*

## **Background**

Bajeira grew up as the middle of three sisters. When her oldest sister, Ceriss, left to be with her mate, Bajeria would have to comfort her younger sister Paetha a lot, as the three were very close. Bajeira would talk her down from running away at a certain point, which brought the two closer together. When Paetha would go missing without a trace after a malfunctioning portal accident, Bajeira went into a depression, and started making reckless decisions to try to forget her sadness.

Although she was an adult at this point, it still wasn't hard for her friends to pressure her into making poor choices. She would spend multiples nights with male dragons until one night she was woken from her sleep with labor pains. She hadn't even realized she was pregnant. She became terrified after laying the egg, not expecting to so suddenly become a mother. And moreso sick to her stomach as she realized who the father of her egg was, as he and the egg shared the same color of blue. His name was Edurno. He was decades older than her, and was very cruel and brutish to her in the time that she knew him. But that didn't matter to her at the time as she fully expected to never see him again.

Bajeira thought that the right thing to do at the time was to inform him of the egg, regardless if she liked him or not. But as she was expecting, he disregarded it and her, making it clear that he would have nothing to do with it. Bajeira had the overwhelming feeling that he was hiding something sinister, as though whatever life he lead was one that no dragon except Malefor himself would smile upon, and she hoped she would never find out.

After her encounter with Edurno, Bajeira felt even worse about herself, and felt very unworthy of being a mother. She felt so much guilt for involving this new life in her situation. A father who didn't want it and a mother who was a fool. She decided the right choice was to let it be adopted by a new family.

She knew just the right loving family she could leave it with. And one night she would take her egg to their home and leave it in their nest while they slept, a note attached asking them to adopt it. She struggled to let her egg go, as she still loved it with all her heart. She watched her baby hatch and grow up with its new family when they would travel to the city. The love and pain that she felt made her decide to change her life and start doing good for the world. She would volunteer at the orphanages, as she loved being around and taking care of the children. It helped to somewhat ease the hole in her heart. In a short time, she became the head caretaker of the orphanage, and found a great amount of fulfillment and joy in her job, giving love to the children who needed it so mostly, while watching her own child out of the corner of her eye grow and succeed in the city.
