#fnaf au mermay

[because-why-not-a-fnaf-blog-too]

Oh right. Here’s the (late) mermay snippet (here’s hoping I’ll get the next chapter of the mer fic up this month. It’ll be a shorter chapter, but I’d like to get back into it.

This is a what-if scenario where Eclipse didn’t lose the egg and got to raise sun and moon. ~

The cold of the deep ocean waters was soothing, head fins flicking back as a large sea monster with four powerful arms swam with strong beats of a great fanned tail fin resembling a solar eclipse. Reds and black mixed throughout the sea monster’s scales and soft underbelly, oranges and yellows flecked throughout the powerful body.

With a single twist of that body, Eclipse cut through the water, into a cave, and dragged his body through the small opening before he swam upward, to warmer waters as he surfaced in a small cave, enough for his upper body to rest on sand, and settle his head near the precious egg he’d been guarding ferociously.

Even with only half of Eclipse’s body out of the water, he still dwarfed his egg. The egg that was all that was left of his now-gone mate. A webbed hand lifted out of the water as a clawed finger gently brushed the side of the egg as he let out a low warble of greeting to its soon to hatch offspring.

It was a beautiful egg, larger than usual, with swirl of two colors that met together. One half was a vibrant yellow and orange like the sun blazing overhead, the other half deep blue with scattered white all over, a clear night with the stars in full display.

A fine offspring would hatch from this egg, and they were sure to be a gorgeous mixture of his and his dead mate’s marking and colors.

Head fins flared out as deep orange eyes brightened upon hearing the telltale cracking of the egg.

He was going to be a father.

The egg splintered all over, rather odd, but not concerning.

Eclipse’s head tilted to the side as he watched the egg begin to wiggle back and forth, remaining just within the soft, shallow water nest he’d made for it to rest within. It would not do to lose his child so quickly to the ocean waters when it would be so tiny and fragile compared to him.

There was more movement within the egg.

Another head turn, head fins fully flared out, rapt to attention.

The egg cracked; a much smaller head than expected poked out, followed by a tiny arm.

So small.

Much too small.

The dark blue and white arm clawed viciously at the egg.

Eclipse preened, proud of the life despite its diminutive size, as his child wiggled their way out of the egg and plopped perfectly into the safe nursery pool he’d made for his child. Movement caught Eclipse’s attention, four orange eyes snapping back to the egg just in time to watch a clawed hand grip the shell. A yellow and orange arm pulling itself out of the egg, which revealed another tiny head, this one with frilly fins stuck to the top and sides of it.

Eclipse marveled, fins around his head flaring wider, struck dumb by what he saw as this second child wriggled out and dropped into the nursery with its kin. The frills filled out around both children’s heads as their soft scaled bodies went about removing anything stuck to them by rubbing into the softer rock edges of the nursery that wouldn’t damage those frills around neck, waist and tail.

Two.

Two offspring.

A gift.

Perhaps his dead mate had not wanted him to feel alone, by having two children to raise.

Eclipse’s entire body shivered as he crooned delight over being able to provide for not just one, but two mer children.

A wonderful gift indeed.

Eclipse loomed close as he let out wordless warbles and chirps, excited when he heard answering warbles and clumsy chirping.

The first one to emerge, the dark blue and white mer with a soft fin that trailed from…his head, a frill framing the head as red eyes stared up at him, before turning and dipping underwater with a slap of a crescent tail.

Ah, took after his mother.

Eclipse looked over the yellow and orange mer, fanged smile widening over this little one having a tail fin much like his own, yet a sunburst in shape.

The first hatchling began to groom his brother, who had missed a few spots near his neck frills. Once done, the night colored child gently nuzzled into the other’s head.

Eclipse crooned to them and gently wrapped his massive body around the small body of water, bringing his face close to nuzzle the two tiny mer shark before him, who responded to pressing into him and biting.

A low rumble rose.

Ah, youth.

How he missed the curiosity and innocence toward the world.

Eclipse settled down in the water near his offspring, watching indulgently as the two mer shark splashed about before eventually tiring with little squeaky warbles and yawns. The two mer shark children curled up tightly with one another, taking refuge by Eclipse’s giant webbed hand as his fingers curved protectively around them.

His children.

Eclipse would protect them and raise them well.

Out of the blue but fyi, I’m feeling some writing inspiration for mermay, but not enough to jump straight back into the my fnaf mer fic itself atm. So I may drop a little something for fun becuase I miss writing the bois.
