Ursa wasn't a cave that he could tolerate longterm, as frigid and barren and hard to traverse as it was. And it was such a deep shame, that he had to keep such distance from Mother and his more cold-adapted siblings. Not that that distance truly meant anything, when they were all intertwined. And he found great satisfaction in patrolling Eridanus and defending against encroaching chaos, protecting the weak as he always has. Truly, he was happy.

Footsteps farther down the tunnel caught his attention, and he could spot a distant figure slowly approaching. If one watched closely, they could see as the fogginess clear from his gaze as Mother's presence receded into the background, still omnipresent but quieter. Giving him room to think, to speak to this potential new ally.

"Hello?" He called out. There was a faint rasp to the edge of his voice- it'd been a while since his last conversation.

What had started as a single piece of fire opal embedded into the cave walls had grown into a chrysalis of great proportion. It had sat dormant for longer than a chrysalis should, certainly. Which made what happened next all the more surprising.

In a mere blink of the eyes, the chrysalis had exploded outward, shards raining down like confetti. The creature, now free, shook off any remaining pieces of gem and stood on shaky legs.
