The crystalwing hatchling that emerged from your egg is quiet and strange. Its red wings and gems half glow and half absorb light, so that to your eyes, it never looks quite right. In darker corners, it disappears altogether, the only hint of its presence a slight chill that's only partly physical. You've noticed ever since it hatched that you misplace things more often - but disturbingly, those around you act as if the things you've lost never existed at all. Your missing items usually turn up a few days later, but you can't shake the feeling that they’ve changed, somehow, yet you can also never quite figure out what's different.
While selenic and helian crystalwings exist in harmony and are often kept together to keep their powers balanced, breedings between the two are relatively uncommon, and for good reason. Perhaps due to the complimentary nature of their powers, their offspring tend to be uncanny in nature, their powers defined by absence. These eclipse crystalwings literally eat light, yet also exude it, existing always half in light and half in shadow, never quite part of either world. Selenic eclipse crystalwings in particular can erase things from existence for a time, and are both feared and respected as a result.
