Soul

The Omni has long been known to be the most mystical of Creatu. They see without eyes and it is said that they can sense the feelings of those around them. Nothing can be hidden from their piercing senses. None can say one way or the other if this is true, but it seems this way when they immediately appear to know what you want and what you are thinking.

For many Creatu color is nothing but a distinguishing marker, but the Omni is unique. All Omni are mysterious and unexplainable but the albino Omni is more mysterious than any other. It is said that this creature has powers that cannot be explained even beyond those of other Omni. They only hatch under very special circumstances and none can determine what those circumstances are despite years of research. The best explanation that has been given is that these Omni can sense the soul of those attempting to hatch them and can choose whether that person is worthy of having them. Only if they deem their prospective owner worthy will they hatch. Otherwise the egg will sit, unable to open, until the person gives up and sends it off to the next owner.

One particular albino Omni seemed impossible to please. It was clumped together with natural Omni in the shop until it was sold to a young man. The other eggs that it was sold with hatched quickly but the albino Omni would not budge. He tried in vain for weeks, always hoping it would hatch soon. Finally, he gave up and p***ed the egg on.

For months the egg p***ed from one set of hands to another, always incubated with a hopeful heart and p***ed on with a heavy one. Not once in these months did it sense the soul that was even close to being worthy of owning it. It stayed tightly huddled in its egg, waiting for the one person it was looking for and settling for no less.

One day, a young girl bought the egg. Unlike most of those that had bought it she did not believe she had any chance at an albino Omni. She bought the egg because she desired simply to own an Omni of her own. She had heard all the legends and found them fascinating. Not once did she even think of the possibility of this egg containing the elusive albino Omni. The Omni sensed this but that was not the reason it chose this girl. This girl had a pure soul, untainted by the hatred and darkness that filled the souls of the others that had handled the egg.

The Omni waited, hoping that she would attempt to hatch its egg, hoping she would not simply sell it again trying to make a little bit of tu to spend. Luck, and maybe a little bit of mystery, was on the Omni’s side as she gently cradled the egg, taking it to the incubator. She placed it on the warming pad and waited.

Happily, the Omni pushed up on the egg, cracking it in half and slipping out. It couldn’t see the expression on the girl’s face, but it could feel the shock coming off of her in waves. It smiled up at her, knowing what it was and what it meant to her to have hatched it.

The girl reached out and stroked the Omni, as if she was making sure it was even real. With a trembling voice, she muttered “Arcira.” It was a pretty name, not what the Omni had in mind but she wasn’t particularly bothered, it wasn’t the name that mattered. “You’re so beautiful,” the girl continued. “White as a ghost, almost like a spirit. No, not a spirit, a soul. One day, one day soon, you will be named for what you are, a beautiful soul.” The Omni smiled, she had chosen well.
