Told by Jade Eyes: a Life's Tale

Prologue: The Miracle of Life; tale's beginning

Lots of people know little to nothing about life, some believe they were born for nothing and others born into great destinies; it's a fact however that everyone has a reason to live a life though for much most don't know the purpose of Quentix Starwing's birth. But a good thing is how the people of the Lylat would find out that the young psychic prodigy's life wasn't to run to death at a young age.

--------

Born to Nightingale Starwing and Joseph McCloud were a beautiful set of kits, a rare occurrence that had come in the form of a pair of super identical twins; one male and one female. The Doctor kept the notion quiet that it was almost impossible to have such a pair born, as the proud Nightingale and Joseph would sooner to find out in their life together. The pair of Foxes took the healthy children home and kept them together, watching how well the two got along; curled up against one another in rest after struggling to be born.

"Look at them…they're so beautiful, don't you think so Joseph?" Nightingale spoke gently as she cradled the two kits in her arms, her eyes giving off a gentle glimmer as she smiled at them. This in turn could only make Joseph happy to see that his mate was truly happy with her children's birth; he felt it inside that they were special and was a proud father.

"Look…the girl looks just like her mother, a beautiful vixen before her time." Joseph remarked as he brushed Nightingale's silver locks with a few fingertips, he leaned closer and had kissed her forehead gently. Nightingale smiled and had nuzzled him softly as she had led her fingers along the male's forehead. She just smiled as the boy appeared to be the exact mirror of their daughter; with a hint of the Jade green eyes that his father had, it was one thing that seemed to be the perfect spitting image of his own.

"Ah…but look, our son has your eyes. They are just tinted like yours, that gorgeous jade green I love and adore." She whispered gently to Joseph, smiling and curling her fingers at his cheek gently for the moment. Her heart beat with warmth and love at the two kits in her arms, she looked up to Joseph again with new adoration in her eyes. "We're a family now Joseph…the four of us now, we can be married soon and then-" Joseph pressed two fingers to her lips and leaned to kiss her softly.

"Let's not worry about that yet okay? We'll be married before the year's out, but I can't chance this yet…not during the war my love; I won't have the Venomians striking at you because you are my wife and they want to get to me. The name McCloud is feared by a lot of people out there and they would want you dead in order to hurt me." Joseph gave a little sigh as he watched the little bit of pain hit her; he hugged her gently as he knew it was the reality of the situation.

Nightingale had given him a light nod; she sighed once more and leaned back against the hospital bed; as the truth really did hurt to hear it again. She knew that there was a war going on and it was dangerous to announce that she was the happy love of Joseph McCloud's life as it would only prove dangerous for them both.

"At least we have the children, they can't that away from us…nor will it make us any less of a family, they can say nothing about that as it's welded in this union; our children are that bond between us forever." Nightingale smiled at him and had closed her eyes and lay back holding the children, she'd slowly doze off to sleep while Joseph moved to the doctor and ushered him from the room.

"Don't worry doctor, my mate has the children they'll be find. There's something you couldn't quite understand, though I'm sure you've noticed some kind of magic about Nightingale; something that makes her very special and right now has her linked to those children. It's closer than any parent now might seem to their own children; trust me there from mere fact."

He didn't realize just how right he was about Nightingale's link to her children, the idea of her being psychic still had blown his mind though it made him happy to know for a fact that there was something like that between them. She had revealed it to him before they'd mated the first night, she showed him the extent of her telekinetic ability; and that she was well capable of seeing into someone's mind with ease. And though she felt that it would be what separated them and kept them distant, she didn't realize how wrong she was at least in his mind.

Though Joseph didn't know what was ahead, and nor did Nightingale know what was in store for her or her children. The power coming from the twins was monumental, and through that link that she shared with her children she'd come to understand how the twins were inseparable at their tender age. Though it made it easy for her to communicate with them, there was a little bridge that the children had linked together even at their early age. They were the dawn of a new age and this was something even Joseph had yet to realize as a fact.
