Sin Killer. The name had been given, and it would stick for the rest of his life. Little did he know how much that name would come to represent him and everything he believed in.
For now, though, there was nothing like that. He was aware only of hunger, curiosity, and love; all else he was oblivious to.
The touch of his father when he stumbled gave him courage, and once he had stabilized himself again, he nuzzled adoringly against one of Szeth's large legs. He was dwarfed by his father now, but he would grow quickly in the coming months, and would eventually match his father's strong build.
Suddenly Sin Killer was aware of something new -- sleepiness. He blinked his eyes and grunted, feeling his eyelids droop. The business of being born was a tiring one, especially when he had gotten to his feet so soon afterwards! Sin turned around and flopped against his mother, folding his awkwardly long legs beneath him. With a sigh and a content smile on his face he laid his head against Desirea's warm side and fell asleep.
