Flicker Of Hope

Here is my entry for ArtemistheNightwing's egg raffle!! :3 I'm guessing for egg #2, so here it is:

#2: Flicker of Hope
Twisting, turning, a dark world
Blind from the truth
The secret pearl of the sea

So I'm thinking it's probably a Deepwing, or maybe seawing. But Imma go with Deepwing.
    Perhaps it is literally blind, or maybe it doesn't know something about itself. From the last line I'm thinking maybe it is destined to be the savior of its tribe, OR (sorta leaning to this) it has royal blood and it doesn't know it, as I said with it being blind to the truth, perhaps it is completely oblivious to having royal blood! (I think it fits pretty well). And for "a dark world"  maybe a war is going on or, to go with the royalty theory :3, the heir is lost and new lead is needed, maybe they are under bad leadership atm, Idk yet .-.
Ok, that's my though, here's part two!:

   Lyre walked along the shore of the beach, feeling the sand sink in between her toes. She looked up to the sky, watching the birds fly across the evening sky. The light breeze drifted across her face as she left large footprints behind her. She stepped up to the shore, water washing over her feet. She took a few more steps, adjusting quickly to the chilly water. She pushed herself off, striking out into deeper waters. She took a breath, going under. She waited for her eyes to adjust, taking a breath. She swam into the murky water, a bit more cumbersome than the average seawing, but her fins aided her nonetheless. She came upon a bed of coral and seaweed. She swam further into the seaweed, now hidden from view. She loved to hunt for treasures among the coral. Her orange scales glinted among the green seaweed. Crabs scuttled across her path, and she squinted, trying to make out anything of value. On her voyage she managed to find an odd piece of metal, a small wire twisted around some rock, and a small polished stone. These she placed into her bag, moving on. Suddenly, something shiny caught her eye. She swam over, inspecting the object. It was oval-shaped and a deep blue. She picked it up, and to her surprise she found it was an egg! Lyre looked about, wondering who would leave such a beautiful egg on the ground. She looked back down, knowing she couldn't leave it. "I have to bring it along," she said, looking at it. A pang of emotion sprang to her heart, and she delicately placed the egg in her pouch. With that, she swam up to the surface.
    When she had reached the shore, she sprung from the water, jumping onto land. Lyre walked back from the way in which she came, the moon high overhead. She eventually came upon a hollow, a cave opening a little way off. She came to the entrance and shouted out to it, "Nix, come here!" A purple-and-brown hybrid emerged from the cave mouth.
    "Yes?" came a reply, in a small male voice.
"Look here," Lyre whispered, pulling the egg from her pack. "I found it while looking out in the reefs," she explained, holding out the deep blue egg for him to see.
    "Wow," Nix gasped, looking at the beautifully shiny surface. "What are you going to do with it?" The hybrid enquired, cocking his head.
    "I'm keeping it," Lyre said firmly. Then in a softer voice, "I couldn't leave it."
    Nix looked at her, understanding. "Ok," he replied, nodding. "I'll help!" He exclaimed, a smile on his face.
    With a laugh Lyre replied, "what do you know about raising children?"
    "Well, hey!" He laughed, acting wounded. He holds a hand to his chest, dramatically. Lyre snickers, setting the egg down.
    It was decided, they would keep the egg.
