"Well, they were talking about some pretty different things, like deciding who was worthy for offspring."

"Oh. Yeah, they still believe in the old ways. When others trusted the Titan, they would rely on him and the earth to decide who would be the right parents. Often, the Titan said yes or helped them to change so that they could be good parents." He nodded.

"But...they've never seen anything hatch before?"

"Deh old ones have, from wayyy back wen." He shook his head. "But dey all passed now."

"Hmm. Interesting."

Pam said nothing more, falling silent.

Now, baby Shade woke and seemed to feel something was off. He whimpered, pressing his snout to his brothers torso.

Jason's arms rested in his lap, still wrapped around his little brother. He had slept, but probably shouldn't have been sleeping this long.

But...wasn't rest what the wounded needed most?

Sure, but Jason wasn't one to stay asleep during the day too often as he was now.

Pam started to descend in a gentle slope as the mountain came into view.

Well...that wasn't good. At all.

Ash just held on

For sure.
Baby Shade tried to nose Puck, as if trying to tell him something wasn't right.

Pam landed and lowered down for Ash.
