The Tale of Neagra

Description

Motherhood is a wonderful thing, but sometimes the feeling goes too far and it can drive a woman insane, such the drampiress I will tell you about. It is said her own egg was taken from her, and she lost her mind. Now she goes around attempting to steal other eggs from other drampiresses in an attempt to replace what was taken from her. If you care about your children, heed this warning. Beware of Neagra, the egg-stealer. If a female in your clan is about to lay an egg, make sure the egg is never left alone, guard it as if you were guarding your life until it can be placed in the egg sac. It won't be safe until then.

This is Neagra. She belonged to one of the middle-class Drampire clans, but in her youth she slept with a bachelor who left her with an egg afterwards. According to custom, since she was unmated, her egg was given to one of her elder sisters, one who was mated, and she would raise the child as her own. However, when the egg hatched Neagra couldn't bear seeing her own son treating her sister as if she were his mother, and she fled, broken hearted.

Her mental health took a turn for the worse ever since when she watched other females with their hatchlings, all happy. One day, in a moment of madness, she tried to steal an unguarded egg from another clan, but thankfully one of the mother's brothers was passing by and stopped her. Although she escaped, Neagra's mental health deteriorated further. In desperation, she tried to conceive another egg, but found out she had turned infertile. This news was the last straw. 

Neagra tried numerous times to steal eggs from other females, but thankfully all those attempts failed. This put the clans on high alert, and eventually most of the clans became wary whenever one of their females was going to lay eggs. Neagra, meanwhile, dwells in a hidden cave, trying to escape reality, singing and rocking to an egg-shaped rock in a cradle, surrounded by toys that will never be used.

If you listen carefully at night, you can hear her sad lullabies in the wind...

Despite her sadness and poor mental health, no one deserves her fate. Really Sad 

Makes you wonder, what would happen if she stumbled upon her son alone or somehow he found out about his real mother.
