Kep settled down in bed as his sister tucked him in. He was 18 now but he complained 'he was just 18!' so much he managed to convince her one last time
'But I'm not doing it again!' she repeated.
'I know' He sagged back, closing his eyes for a nice rest.

When he woke up it was still dark, in some kind of liquid. He tried to get out but this shell of sorts was not letting him come out. Kep felt 5 other new limbs, two new legs for sure the others he did not know. He started to feel guided and claustrophobic, he needed out, so he pushed on the wall as hard as he could, repeated until he felt a crack, then an opening. He was out, finally free, and when he looked around, he stared straight at a shocked Deathsong.'Little one? Why have you hatched so early?' the female Deathsong cocked her head and said with a calm and gentle tone. 'Maybe... I am Sephra, your caretaker, but not your real guardian. You are here because I found you, it'd be cruel to leave an egg to fend for itself.'
He tried to say 'What? What egg? How did you find me', but all that came out was soft coos.
'Curious, Aren't you, little Zero? You'll need a night's rest if you want your voice to come out...' Sephra purred curling up around him. He had realized how tired he was when she curled up around him, her warmth was like a lullaby lulling him to sleep.

He yawned as he awoke from his deep sleep, nudged awake by...Sephra. Oh, not a dream... He stretched like a cat and cooed 'Good morning. ' subconsciously, this time it actually came out as words, though his voice was higher pitched.
'Hm? Now, you need training.' Sephra murmured, lifting her head up. See her now, now he realized how big she was. At least 14 feet compared to him which he guessed 1ft.
'Huh?' he murmmed. I guess I should keep the talking down to a minimal, Im guessing hatchlings can't talk.
'Well, I should probably tell you the full story. I was flying when I saw two eggs, you and another, which would also explain why you hatched early... There wasn't even a nest! I smelt stale death-songs. I wanted to take both of you, but I could only take one at a time, so you were first. When I got back the egg was gone! Probably some blasted humans...' Sephra lashed her tail for a bit before calming down.
'Training?' he decided to asked, it would be risky, but he just had to ask.
'Oh? Yes, you need to at least know the basics of flying, some hunting technics, and fighting, of course' Sephra seemed surprised and curious when he spoke, but didn't say anything. Maybe she thought I was just copying her? No... That's stupid.. I'm surprised how fast I got used to this without panicking unlike some other people who would have if they were in my place
'First, young Zero. You must rest, it will be very tiring tomorrow.'
He watched as Sephra flew off. Looking around he noticed he was at the entrance of a small, but big enough for a Deathsong. But to him, it was big.
Zero felt the sun's rays on his back which made him quite tired, even if he woe up. He hummed a little tune, though sleep did not come yet.
Throughout this day, Kep, or now, Zero, slept and ate. Sephra tried to show him his instinctual amber by using various alive targets but it did not happen. Sephra thought maybe when training comes, after I do it intentionally, the instinct will work by itself.

It was early-afternoon and bright, they were in the middle of a cove that was most definitely the Death-song Island, Will he meet Graff? Sephra came back with a small boulder that was about the same size as him.
