The Orphan's Tales: Aerie's Rebirth

"With a great crack like the splintering of a palace column, a white hand squirmed out of the egg, clawing for purchase on its slick surface.  A girl emerged, her hair strewn with shards of the crimson shell, wet and bright with egg fluid.  She pulled herself up with painfully thin limbs.  When she stepped onto the grass, she caught sight of her slender foot and froze.  She held out her hands, staring dumfounded at them.  Then she spied him standing beneath his tree.

Aerie opened her human mouth for the first time, and screamed so loudly and so horribly that nightingales fell dead from their boughs."
