The spirits had told faer that the sprout’s name is Lume. Other Etheri gathered around. Azari’s kaleidoscope. Normally the group would only meet in the spirit realm, but this was a special occasion. The sprout opened their eyes. They were a floofy little yellow and tan sprout, with green eyes. Azari could barely see the sprout’s markings on their flank. Colda put her paw on Azari’s. “Oh their beautiful, sweetie” Lume smiled at their parents. The crowd gathered around, grooming Lume’s floof and unfolding their ear wings. The sprout’s ear wings popped up and fluttered. Azari heard one in the crowd flutter theirs in amusement. Azari gazed down at faer child. Fae would make sure that no-one would ever harm them.
