When I checked in today, I caught the boys napping and then eating seeds and fruit. Persephone was feeling a little lonely so I spent some time with her before she laid down for a nap.
With nothing particularly exciting going on, I took the time to spread some growing food around. Before long, though, Pilot was 46 minutes old and about to become an Adult. Errol was old enough not to need his hand held at 24 minutes old and Persephone was still feeling lonely in Aquanornia.
Since Pilot was finally old enough to breed, I thought it would be a good time to introduce him to his new home. Though he didn’t have his fins yet, he was still old enough to breed.
Before long, Persephone was pregnant with three eggs! Sadly, one of the eggs had to get destroyed (kill hots) because she re-entered the water after her first. Thankfully, she made it back to land to lay her third egg.
Soon, Pilot was also an adult and it was time to focus my attention on Errol. I couldn’t focus long, though. Thankfully, Errol spent most of his time eating and sleeping and didn’t actually need much. Persephone decided to have two more eggs, though. This time, she was able to keep both of them. Pilot seemed determined to secure his bloodline while he had no competition.
At 40 minutes old, Errol was ready to join the others in Aquanornia. The boys seemed to catch up when Errol took his first leap into the water (seriously, both of the boys jumped off of the platform then off of the beach into the water). They had more time together and ended up becoming good friends, after all.
Before Errol became an adult, though, he laid claim to his first egg. Though Persephone was only pregnant with one, she had the trip to the surface figured out and didn’t need any help.
Now, the egg count was in Pilot’s favor. Would Errol catch up once he became an adult? Would he have the baby with the most ideal genes? Only one way to find out! Stay tuned.
