Asleep. That's what they were. Not for much longer. Conciousness was slowly seeping in, filling their lungs with foreign fluids that was not desired. Immediately, colorful eyes snapped open, glancing about in a panic. Placing lanky limbs on the walls of their igneous home, the to-be-born Gembound writhed, seeking air. Suddenly, they found it and a chilling wind propelled them out. The shell split open to release the strange being unto the world. For a moment, they--no, Tag-und Nacht, lay in a quiet daze, only their eyes moving about the world they'd been birthed into. Curious.

Stars were everywhere.

'But where is the Sun and the Moon?' their small mind pondered, even though they were entirely unfamiliar with what either meant. "Tag-und Nacht," they whispered, quietly... almost cautiously. That was their name. Day and Night. Two within one. Soon to be properly named. Closing their eyes quietly, they lifted one foot and set it down underneath them. Then the other three. With a bit of effort, they stood, like a newborn colt taking its first steps. Then, they bounded in excitement. Home. They'd awakened and they were at home, among the stars.

With that thought in mind, Tag-und Nacht ventured into the open world.
