Rozumon the Cantik

Rozu- Japanese word for rose


Unlike Harumon, my other Cantik, this egg was not poached. It had been abandoned in the cave, and after all of the other Cantik eggs had been poached or stolen by humans this egg was long forgotten.
It had been left there by and elderly Cantik mother, for she no longer could care for this egg. She covered the egg in a silk that she had received from the trinket shop. She put leaves on top of the silk as a disguise, after all she didn't want her egg to be poached. She believed that when the egg hatched the little Cantik would be able to find her again, but she forgot to consider how cold the winters got in Ark.

I was out on a winters walk Harumon in my arms, but when Harumon started to wriggle furiously in my arms I had to put her down. She started to run in the direction of the cave and I chased after her quickly. I knew she wouldn't be able to survive this weather much longer, even her fur couldn't keep out this cold. I caught up to her and swooped her up into my arms, tucking her lightly into my coat to warm her up. She looked at me with wide eyes then glanced down. I tilted my head downwards and saw that right beside my feet they're was an egg, silk slightly covering it, but most of the silk had been blown of by the wind.
I recognized this egg in an instant, it was definitely a Cantik egg. That's why Harumon followed it, I thought to myself. I gently picked it up, it was ice cold. I brought it close to my coat in an attempt to keep it warm. I rushed home and tore all of the blankets of my bed, and rapped the little egg inside of them. Harumon nuzzled the blankets and rapped herself up on top of the pile, it seemed as if she knew something I didn't.
We kept the egg in the blanket for hours before unraveling it to see if the egg had warmed up. I put my left hand on the egg, it had warmed up and I even saw the egg move slightly, I smiled at Harumon.

"What should we name it?" I asked Harumon. At that moment she sneezed, "Rozu!" Is what is sounded like, so I mixed her name with the unintentional name she had given me.
"Rozumon," I said to myself, "I like it."
