Kore looked up and over at Heliacle. Her royal purple body was sleeked with sweat and exhaustion was worn on her face. But Kore's golden eyes were shining as she slowly lifted a wing to show off three beautiful eggs. Two colored mostly purple and one the maroon of Heliacle were nestled close to her body.
"There they are... Our children. Send Elathan and Azhor in... I want them to see their siblings."
She was tired and wanted sleep. But first, she wanted her family together.
Elathan was pacing on one of the outer ledges. Kore had been in her nest for a long time now. He knew that she was laying eggs that were not meant to be but somehow were... Looking over to Azhor, he wished that he could be as cool and calm as his Big Brother. Kore meant alot to him and he hoped that she would be much better after having his siblings.

~Laying on the cool ground not too far from Kore, Heliacle felt her mate's strain and was even happier to finally see the lines of pang fade from her face. Her chin lifts as her neck stretches to have a better look at the glossy eggs-Just by the outter shell you already knew what the young ones would look like. And they were beautiful. The maroon hippogriff cooed over the unhatched.
Without a word, the dark 'griff got up on it's four legs, leaned to give the purple griff a quick lick on the forhead, and spun around to the entrance of their new home-
"Hey guys..."~
† He was laying on his back, head resting on a tousle patch of partially eaten grass. His stomach was a bit rounder than your usual fit hippogriff would be. Maybe he'll lose this "baby" fat as he grows even older.
He yawned, mouth full of half chewed grass, eyes closed-
"Bah, they're probably discussing girl things-better yet, about boys! Heh heh heh" The rather naive youngun says, rolling onto his belly-But he's quickly interrupted by her older sister, Heliacle†

((I got those saved! I should start using them!))
Kore began to lick the sweat away from her sides and wings. These eggs were large and well shaped; their coloring was most unique. Everyday Kore thanks the gods for blessing them with chance to be parents to their own. Sighing, she looked around hungrily. There were no scraps or plants in the nesting cave and her stomach rumbled hungrily.
Perhaps she could get Elathan or Azhor to go hunting for her.
Elathan looked up as Heliacle came out of the caves. Though he stood in one place, he shifted his weight back and forth in anxiousness. He looked over at Azhor who seemed to have no clue what was going on... His silvery eyes stared into the darkness of the cavern as he took a step forward.

~Turning her head to eye Azhor curiously, Hel speaks with a calming tone after sweeping her gaze over to the worried Elathan-
"She's alright, simply drained of strenght..."She smiles weakly, looking over her shoulder to the dark open mouth of the cavern, "However, I'm sure some food would help her get it back." the maroon hippogriff hints to the two younger ones, as if have read her life-mate's thoughts ~
† Seeing his big sister walk out of the cave, Azhor quickly sat up straight, trying to look more sophisticated-He lately seeked to impress the females for some reason, perhaps the male gene?
The dark pink and black hippogriff said nothing yet, listening with a keen ears, which quickly lower when he catches Hel's tone of voice. The young 'griff enjoyed the hunt, but moreso when he was hungry or when it was for himself. But he quickly changed his opinion when he realised that his other big sister was probably in dire need of help. Why not be considerate?
"Well, let's go then, Lil Brother." His voice strong and clear compared to his step-brother. †

Kore settled down, listening to the voices that lofted into the cave. Her brothers would go hunting and soon she would get something good to eat. Her golden eyes closed and swallowed. She hoped that eating would also quench her thirst.
"What to name the three of you?"
Elathan nodded and looked over to Azhor who sat at attention. He was not a very good hunter but was good at gathering berries. Kore was tired and needed all sorts of substanance; Elathan was more than willing to help her out.

~ She smiles to as she sees Azhor finally acting properly. He was always bizarre. But then again, both brothers were strange.
"Meat, berries-whatever you can bring will be fine. Meat with give her strenght as berries will be refreshing." Smiling warmly, heliacle added-" Three, Elathan. Three beautifully colored eggs..." With a shake of the head, she pressured them to leave-
"Go, now! She's waiting!" And laid down for just a moment, wanting to leave Kore a moment alone-peacefulness and rest. Keen ears rotating at the top of her head-if there are any sounds of stress, the maroon hippogriff would be there in a seconds time. ~
† Spreading his still growing wings, Azhor prepares to take off when Heliacle's question took him off guard and made him loose his balance- along with his dignity(which he thinks she has)
"THREE?!" he doesnt bother wiping the dirt from his beak-
"Three...." He fell quiet, his espression rather lost though his eyes seem to cloud over with a veil of sadness. Without a word, he returns to his prior stance, getting ready to take flight again. †(I think they should be able to fly already..? Having awesome big sisters and all!)

((I dont see why they wouldnt be flying... Kore probably pushed them off the edge just like she learned!))
Kore was relaxed enough to move the eggs around and get them into good position. She listened to her life-mate talking to their brothers about what food to bring and how many eggs they were older siblings to... Kore's golden eyes turned towards the direction of Sun-Goes-Down and her spirit gave a little tug. Soon, she would have to go and wander... After the eggs hatched...
Elathan nodded as Heliacle said there were three new ones in their nest. It was bad enough he had to watch out for Azhor, now he had to help take care of three little ones when they hatched. Looking at Heliacle and nodding, Elathan jumped off the ledge and opened up his child sized wings. Only moons before they had just learned how to fly.
Turning and facing Azhor, he called out.

~Heliacle paid no attention to the brothers as they got ready to take off. Her eyes were on the scene beneath her-Large leafy trees with some conifers here and there, A small stream making it's way somewhere from Sun-Goes-Down, through the dense forest surrounding it, then lower into the vast valleys of golden grasses-the sun having bleached it this hot summer. The sun was indeed going down, it's base just brushing the massive structure of the mountain...
"Come on, I'm ready." She whispers to herself as her stare shifts to one of worry, but challenge.~
† "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Azhor says annoyingly.
He yawned and stretched his wings one more time. trotting casually, he threw himself off the ledge and hovered slightly as Elathan spoke he last words to his elder sister. -Hunt! Right.- He thought to himself, shaking his head to chase his sleepyness away. The dark hippogriff was always happy to give chase to a innocent bunny and scare it out of it's wits. †

Elathan was beating his small wings steadily but rapidly. He had not yet figured out the proper pace and would have to land very shortly. Once Azhor joined him in the air, the black and white griff waited for his brother to lead on. He had listened very carefully to Kore and Aleera's lessons and knew which plants to bring back to give his big sister her strength again.
Kore slumbered inside the cave trying to gain back strenght. She had odd dreams about lightening flashes and cold eyes. Mumbling, she moved about a little bit to gain more comfort. Even while in the dreamworld, she was ever aware of her new children.

~Looking back at the cave-mouth, Heliacle sighed as she heard the steady breath of the resting Kore. The sun was gone now-though the sky still had purples and pinks. Little stars lit the skies at the opposit end, diamonds in shallow waters. Stretching her wings, she let herself walk off the cliff and fall-letting the wind carry her. Nothing was on her mind, though a lot at the same time.~
† Not paying any more attention to Heliacle, Azhor violently dove downwards, hoof rather close to the cliffs rocky, razor-like edge. Before reaching the tree line, he quickly spread out his small, still growing, wings and slowed down as he glided. He glances from time to time, checking on his brother as his eyes are moreso scanning the quickly moving ground underneath him.
Rabbit... Rabbit-Where would they be hiding this time of day? Swallowed deep into the hunt-some time passed without Azhor really realisting it.†

Elathan pumped his wings and rode the currents, letting the air do the work. He scanned the ground looking for particular plants of healing. He watched his more dramatic brother hunting for food. Elathan spotted the plant along the valley's edge.

† He shrugs with indifference- "Plants..." Some of them were sweet to the taste, but aside from that, the dark hippogriff didn't see what was so great about them. Or perhaps he didn't want to know. Azhor Swoops down to the ground near a thin stream of sparkling water- "Well..." He scanned the area once again, eyes and ears working seperately †

((your plushie grew!))
Elathan shrugged and landed in the valley. He expected as much from Azhor. His brother cared only for the strong and the now of things. Elathan had paid careful mind to Aleera before she left and to Kore. Both were wise females in their own right...
He went up to a strange plant with pronged leaves and used his beak to cut through the branch. Nothing was too good for his sister or his soon to be siblings.

† Looking over his shoulder, his brother is but a few paces off, of course, picking at flowers and plants. With a silent sigh, Azhor made his way into the thicker parts of the woods after a last glance to his brother.
His attention was very quickly pulled away when suddenly, a hare dashes infront of him in a wild panic. What were the odds of the hare finding him instead!? A malicious grin quickly growing on his face, he breaks into a mad dash- the elegance of a out of control freight train. The small creature was fast, trying to lose the larger hippogriff by zig zagging under and around brush, which Azhor simply plowed through. Kore and Hel would be sad to see him hunt like that-acting more like a child than a strategic hunter. But the black and hippogriff didn't care. He was alone and had to impress no one. He simply wanted to play with the pray before catching it.
Hissing sharply and exhaling short bursts of hot breath, Azhor forgot about his Little Brother and had bound off slightly further than he knew- Preoccupied by something more enertaining.†

Elathan watched as Azhor went chasing after some rabbit. His brother was the better hunter and would surely have several rabbits for their older sister. He had found all the plants he needed and had them in a pile ready to be brought back.
Watching Azhor off and chasing, Elathan wondered if he should try hunting as well.
