'Wave, where is your brother?' Shadow had a very raspy voice. 'Wait, WHERE IS HE?!' Wave ran out of the room and out the door. (the stories will start connecting at this point)

I smile a little despite myself. "Hello.... little one. Where are your parents?"

He starts crying 'Where's Bubba?!' He hangs tight to your leg.

I sigh, tilting my head in an attempt to comfort the hatchling. "Are you.... lost?"

'Bubba said he'd be back..' just then you see a Sylvorpa jump out of a lake and quickly run through the doors. He ran up to them and grabbed the hatchling. 'I'm so sorry if he caused any trouble..'

I duck my head and paw at the ground nervously, knowing how suspicious I must look. "No.....! He was no trouble at all. T-thank you, sir."

'No no no, its my fault, I left him here... What happened to his tail?!' Wave started bandaging the wound and looked at the other Sylvorpa, obviously wary.

"Are you okay?" Midnight asked the female.

"There was a Ryori....." I recall, tail lashing in thought. "It dropped a rock through the ceiling.... hence the hole up there." I gesture to the shattered glass with my head. "He was..... in quite an unfortunate place at the time, I suppose. I..... managed to move the rock off him, but his tail may be badly damaged," I say quietly, trying not to upset him.

'I'm fine youngster. Now go follow that fool of a Sylvorpa.' She said and shooed you away with a paw.
