Immortality Costs

The light shone through the crack on the ceiling, as the egg was beginning to hatch. Out came a small penguin chick with the tail of a grey heron. His vision was blurry, in his direct eyesight a poster of a heron with dazzling blue feathers and with words labeled "Mira". The chick stopped to look at the picture and then looked around the area. There was no sign of life, other than the fish in the stream. Black and white colors flashed across small cracks in certain walls, but it was unsure what that form of life could be. Finally, out of a dark, large hole came a gigantic smilodon. The smilodon's eyes shifted towards the chick. The chick waddled closer to the smilodon, now cuddling the smilodon's leg. It looked at the chick with pure satisfaction, and gently grabbed the chick by the neck. "I will take care of you, and help you live a full and wonderful life. Even if it means losing my own." The smilodon quietly whispered, the sound echoing through the entire cave. The smilodon came out of the cave, onto normal green land. "Comet! There you are! Where have you be-" A direwolf appeared from the open, "Where did you get that penguin?"
