A Hybrids Tale

* UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION *
United we stand, Together they fall.

Looking down upon the city I have called home for most of my existence it feels unrecognizable. Fire spreads like the once lush vines that decorated my home. In the distance only wails of agony and sounds of impending death can be heard.

Wasting not a second more i turn and rush down the corridor. My only missions now, Gretta. My only daughter still a baby at the age of 23 years of existence I hope I have prepared her enough to survive on her own. Throwing the door open I take in her still sleeping form letting her savor the last few moments of peace.

At her side I slide my arms underneath her lifting her gently. She must survive. without hesitation i step out of her open window and let my powerful wings carry us into the smoke and ash filled sky, its thick and burns my lungs but I'm grateful for it's concealment. It doesn't take me long to reach my destination. Gretta begins to stir in my arms.

"Mother?"

She begins to question but is soon wracked with coughs as the smoke forces its way into her lungs.

"My child, we don't have much time remember your strengths and always improve on your weaknesses, keep your chin held high and never forget where you came from."

Blinking back tears I press a kiss to her forehead and hold her to my chest. Her confusion is clear as she pulls away and tries to throw questions at me. Shaking my head softly she quiets.

"Survive"

Slowly it seams I release my hold on my greatest achievement and watch as she falls off the edge of the Above down to Earth where she will hopefully have a chance to survive.
