IntroHis earliest memory is that of Dream; it is said that every living being dreams right before it's life begins, and right before it ends.
Yanni's dreams were filled with shapes, sounds and colors one can only perceive before being born. After some time, he woke up, but he didn't immediately notice, because the world inside the egg doesn't vary much from the worlds of dreaming. He could hear faint noises from the outside. Curiously, he started pushing on his shell, trying - but failing - to break it.
His tiny body quickly got too tired to try again; instead he decided to wait and rest, until the time is right. So he does, and every day and night he listens to the sounds from the great unknown, unable to fall back to sleep, but remaining calm and patient. His strength and size are subtly developing, and maybe tomorrow - or the day after tomorrow - or the day after? -
he'll try again and break out of the shells.
But today, he only listens.
