After an agonizingly long time, small beaks appear to cut away the shell, and slowly, surely, they are free.
Her heart soaring with motherly pride, she cleans each and they slowly dry, leaving twin balls of deep blue fluff.
From the first egg hatches a slightly larger male, each feather's edge traced with gold, and talons of the same color. He peers brightly at the world through wide eyes like a cloudy sky... but they change! At the sight of his mother, they show a brilliant clear day, echoing his mother's clear blue eyes.
And from the second hatches a slightly slimmer ball of fluff, feathers and talons traced with silver and eyes like her brother's, but stormy at first, brightening upon seeing her family.
Sirith wraps her body around the two tiny nestlings, who curl up into one tight ball of blue, silver and gold against the white form of their mother.
