My friend had recommended me to get a Roc as my second bird creature and I was all for it remembering stories of magi and their powerful rocs. It sounded great to me so I let them take me to some out of the way shop in the middle of nowhere with a guy that set my creep sensor on edge. The creep gave me a snaggle tooth grin and said
"so kid I bet you're here to buy a roc" I nodded vigorously my want for a roc overriding my bodies want to get out of here and go home to my warm bed.
"Heh, you're in luck I've got one left don't let the size fool you this is I genuine roc egg" I gave the egg a quick look over he was right the egg was small and it could have been a fake. An image of me spending so much time to hatch the egg only to find out it had been some other creatures egg painted to look like a rocs.
My friend nudged me and said "don't worry it's legit" and gave me a wide grin and giving the creep a thumbs up. I sighed and turned to the creep asking "so what's this things price?"
"Since this is your first time here it's on the house" he laughed and handed the egg over to me and I smiled awkwardly and motioned to my friend the it was time to go I knew that I wasn't going to like the long walk home.
When I finally got home it was already dark and most of the magi and their creatures had settled down for a peaceful sleep I, on the other hand, was irritated beyond belief. I couldn't believe that my friend sent me to some back ally shop and not mentioned it to me! I set the egg down in its makeshift nest and got into bed hoping that I could get a few hours of sleep.
I woke up, to what seemed like only a few minutes later, to the most ungodly of sounds, a mixture of a shriek and a scream, and I slammed my hand against my ears trying to block out the sounds. I looked over at the egg and saw a white chick with its head shoved out the egg and sticking its beak in the air making those horrible calls.
"Would you please shut up!" I yelled irritated that it had woke me up so early it looked at me and made a pleased chirping sound seeing that it had woken me up.
"So I guess the creep was telling the truth" I murmured and groaned realizing that I had labeled someone a creep just because of their face and where they worked. Just then my puvia Jiwang stuck his head in my window to see if I needed help I waved my hand at him showing him that I was alright.
Jiwang bobbed his head and left most likely to go back to sleep. The chick turned its head and looked at me obviously confused at the sight of a large rainbow colored bird. I giggled a bit at the sight and lay back down with a sigh hoping that I could catch just a bit more shut eye before the day started. I had not played there for more than a minute before when the chick started shreiking again. I sat up furious now and Jiwang shoved his head in my window just as angry as I was all the while the chick looked extremely pleased with itself.
I groaned and went over to pick the chick up and jumped back as it nipped at my finger. I looked at Jiwang and said "look buddy I'm sorry about this but you're the only bird here and I have no idea how to take care of a chick" Jiwang just gave me an irritated look and pulled his head out of my window obviously not wanting any part of this.
I picked up the chick my arms shaking and looked at it as it nipped at my fingers with its sharp beak. Suddenly it started to struggle in my hands and I quickly moved over to my bed as it flew out of my grasp. It plopped onto my bed with a soft thud and i sighed in relife seigng that it hadnt been hurt. My relife didn't last long because the chick had quickly set its eyes on too my pillow I could barely get out the word don’t before it began to shred my pillow with its sharp teeth and claws. Despair filled me as I looked at the tiny terror that I had brought into my room gleefully shredding my pillow and I briefly had a thought to find one of the keeps skycats but I pushed that thought out of my mind as I wasn't in the mood to see something gets eaten. Finally finished with its task of destroying my pillow it settled into the middle of the mess made a tiny peep and fell asleep. Exhausted I laid down on the floor and fell asleep as well hoping to get just a bit of sleep. I woke up to the sun's rays on my face and a ball of feathers sitting on my chest “I guess that the little devil spawn was only pretending to be asleep” I thought to myself suddenly the chick swung its head towards me realising that I had woken up. I prepared myself for that awful cry and was surprised when the chick hopped off my chest, using it as a springboard, and walked over to me. I expected to be bitten, screeched at, anything just not the tiny peep it made before snuggling down next to my face. I guessed that this was its way of saying sorry and I smiled enjoying the new side of the tiny terror I then realised that I haven't given it a name heck I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. I picked the chick up and saw that it was a girl “alright lady I guess your name will be Aki” I said with I wide grin and it made that horrible screech again but more joyful this time. I smiled again knowing that I had made a lifelong friend and the chick made a sound akin to a laugh.
