The two would not wake up until moments after the ruckus occured. The first to awaken was a silent spirit, one who look dumbfounded in the world around her. She remained laying on her side, unable to comprehend her existence quite yet until her tongue slithered out to...taste the air. Exploding into color now did Eve understand where she was and what was happening. She tolled to her stomach and tried to stand on what she could apparently understand were legs, the vehicle in which Eve would continue to use for the rest of her life. She stood, though unable to balance herself and fell. Unable to walk on all fours, she found it best to just sit on her behind, her tail wagging about ever so slowly. Eventually she would stand, like most of her brethren, and her eyes would adjust to the darkness. "Who... Is there?" Her own small voice suprised her, so much so that she happened back and landed back on her butt. Eventually, she stood after much effort and looked around, hearing the squeaking of her siblings. She could also hear one closer to her, one that still lay sleeping in the hay.
Ren did not awaken quite yet, much due to his disturbing dreams. Only did a rustle of the hay near his head did he open his dark eyes. It was pitch black and he feared in being blind except when he could make out a figure. She was what Ren would come to know as his twin, the one sibling he would have the closest bond. He squirmed a bit, unable to use his limbs until his brain figured to stretch his muscles. Ren would stand, wobbly, but take his first hop and look around for the rest of his brethren. He and his sister did not have to introduce themselves to one another. They knew each other since birth, since their creation of being put into the same egg. He felt a certain reliance on her, where she would be the more dominant of the two as she stood, taller than the rest ( since she is standing on two legs ). He stretched out his wings, they fluttered about but Ren would not know what to do with them quite yet and let them fold back as he looked around to see who would answer his sister's question.

Athena finished gorging herself and, slightly heavier and noticeably darker in coloration, wandered back into the barn and straight into the middle of a meeting of her kin. Two new ones - two final ones, a certain knowledge informed her - were among the four now there. One of the new kin was scaled, the other somewhat covered in downy fur like Buddy-brother, who had wandered off into the fields. That one worried her. His mouth was well-suited for piercing her shell, if they angered one another.
A dragonfly hovered over the rippling surface of the pond, midges buzzing around it as it chased after groups of them and minnows swimming underneath, oblivious to its presence. It had been this way for time out of mind, and would have continued in this fundamentally stable state, had not a new creature been introduced to the ecosystem.
Reos was ecstatic as could be. He was graceful and beautiful in this, his element, moreso than he ever was or would be outside of it. His form twisted sinuously through the water, and the other creatures - not yet knowing that he was their new top predator - did not run as he snapped them up to feed his hunger. He leaped from the water, spinning through the air in an adrenalin-fueled moment of impulsiveness. The sunlight sparkled off the water and his scales, and the majesty of the situation was quite ruined when he accidentally swallowed a dragonfly and started choking on it.
After a minute of hacking, safely underwater where his dignity was preserved, Reos reflected that it had actually been quite tasty.

Eve then lifted her head, whipping around to peak at her other two siblings. Her tongue whispered out, to taste the air before she lowered her eyes to their bodies. They were so different from her own, except perhaps Merlyn, and lowered her head completely as she walked rather hesitantly to her two sisters. One got close to her, startling Eve as she flinched and stumbled backwards, watching in awe at her siblings before getting up once again with some amount of difficulty. She opened her jaw, which revealed rows of sharp, tiny teeth and fangs, before snapping it shut and glanced at her brother, Ren, who stood there a little dumbfounded. "Eve." She stepped forward, no longer reluctant, before nodding her head, motioning to Ren. "Ren."
Ren finally livened up and he ruffled his feathers, spying Merlyn who seemed to take him by suprise. She surely was livelier than his other sister, noticeably one very odd. Why did she have so many legs? What were they for? Ren found himself staring and shook his head. He glanced around the barn before looking at his three sisters. "Where are the others?" Ren knew that much. There were more of his siblings, and he could sense them. Ren's feathers ruffled again as he looked at the three different sisters, yet similar in essence.
