Chapter Text
Narinder was stroking a red egg that sat on a nest. He still couldn't believe he was going to be an uncle and a father all at the same time. He also had Baal teasing him about being a grandpa to his kits. His siblings all had eggs as well, Leshy had one with a yellow cat named Anjul. Kallamar had five, one with his witness, one with each of his three disciples, and one with a light blue seahorse named Fikamar. Heket had one with a brown frog named Jamer. And finally Shamura and the goat had one. Baal was also expecting with his wife, a pinkish white cat with a heart on her head named Antretre, and Aym was with her twin Pana. Pana had a broken heart birthmark instead of the regular heart. They were actually triplets but not identical like Baal and Aym. Forneus had moved in as well, she just couldn't miss the chance of being a grandma.
Narinder heard a bell and looked up, it was the goat walking over to Shamura. Narinder picked up his egg and sat down holding it, he was hoping it was the lamb, unfortunately they haven't seen them since last night. He hoped they wouldn't be gone for to long. They heard the goat give Shamura a kiss and rolled his eyes. "Sorry babe, but unfortunately it's time for me to get back home and make sure my idiots are still alive. I'll be back in a week and hopefully be able to stay longer this time." Shamura smiled and leaned back into the goat as they hugged them from behind. "I understand my lord, I shall wait for your return." This made the goat pout and began to nuzzle Shamura's neck. "Come on Mura, I told you to stop calling me lord. Call me babe, baby, sexy, heck I wouldn't even mind being called sweet heart like how Baal calls his lover."
Baal glared at the goat for trying to steal his pet name for his lover. But went back to paying attention to his wife and egg. "My apologies my lord, it slipped my mind." The goat just rolled their eyes at Shamura and gave them another kiss. Narinder finally got up and put his egg back on the nest. He had to get back to work now. He looked up at the goat and with a board expression said, "if you want to continue being a lecherous beast, then the mating tent should be empty at the moment. If not then nobody wishes to see you groping my sibling." Shamura pushed the goat away face as red as the lamb's favorite fleece. The goat glared at Narinder before giving him a cocky smile. " Sorry kitty, didn't mean to offend The Lamb's favorite toy."
Instead of getting mad Narinder just smiled at the goat, "you are mistaking Kid. The Lamb is my toy, not the other way around. You my confirm with them if you wish." The goat pouted again, Narinder was very hard to anger since the egg was laid. Shamura just laughed before giving their spouse a kiss and started walking over to their brother. "I only wish I would have waited until next season before growing our family. We will be quiet busy with these many hatchlings and I would have liked my offspring to get more attention." The goat caught up with Shamura and held there hand before turning them to look into their eyes. "Don't worry your pretty little face doll, they're going to be the number one kid. After all they are my child and I am the GOAT, so by default they will be the greatest of all time as well."
By this time most of the other parents had left. Only Narinder, Baal, and Aym stayed behind. the goat then looked at Narinder with a series face "hay hairball, tell your chew toy to keep an eye on not Poppy. I know everyone always says everyone is a spy but unfortunately they are actually right this time." Narinder just waved the kits away before answering with the same board expression. "I told them last night, we are supposed to sacrifice them tomorrow. And Lamb is not my chew toy, more like a scratching post." The goat rolled their eyes before kissing Shamura one last time and disappearing to their own destination.
Narinder looked at his sibling and smiled at them, "you should get something to eat Shamura. I will be asking the cooks to see if you ate something later." Shamura suddenly looked shocked, "ah yes yes, I have forgotten to eat today. Thank you dear brother, I will go now before I forget. Please take care, I suddenly have a bad feeling." Narinder nodded his head before walking over to the farms so he can help Webber.
That night they all had a bad feeling, they felt alone and vulnerable since the goat left. Leshy refused to leave the egg in the nest tonight, as well as Heket and Kallimar. Kallamar even told his spouses to sleep outside so they could protect the tent better. Narinder wanted to take the egg inside to, but they knew the lamb would be upset that they don't trust them to keep everyone safe. Shamura also left their egg outside, but because they couldn't remember what they were going to do. Baal and Aym didn't want to offend Narinder in case he took it the wrong way.
Unfortunately before Narinder could get to sleep he heard something crash and ran outside. The spy was knocking down the nests and then Narinder's mind went blank. He doesn't remember running out of his tent or his face splitting open. He doesn't remember attacking the heretic or them stabbing him on the stomach. He doesn't remember consuming them, soul and all just like the fox does his pray. He does remember running to his child and holding them close as he felt their life draining. He does remember parents crying as most eggs were now on the floor, children dead or dying. He remembers looking up at the goat and whispering save her before everything went black.
When Narinder woke up the they quickly tried to get up, until they heard a soft voice call to him. "Narinder, brother, please rest. I know you must feel worried, but for now your child is safe. You saved five eggs, and Forneus has been able to keep your lamb and her grandchildren alive." Narinder looked up at Kallamar with tears in his eyes, he was scared for his child. "Has the lamb returned? Why are they not attending our child? What about the spy? I do not remember much of last knight." Kallamar looked down, a look of anger and sadness on his face. "The lamb is yet to be found, as for the spy, you ate them with your demon half. They will now suffer for all internity. You should be able to see your child tomorrow. They are asleep at the moment." Kallamar gave Narinder a bowl before asking him to drink it. Kallamar felt bad for his sibling. They can't even imagine the pain his brother was going through at the moment. Or the parents of the 20 unborn children that they could not save. He hoped the new lamb makes it, especially for what Narinder did to save the other children. "Also Narinder, your child needs a name. Forneus wanted me to ask you to give her one." "Una" was all Narinder said before going back to sleep. Kallamar was shocked he picked a lamb name but didn't question it. He took the empty bowl and left.
