Y/N recently bought an old abandoned farm, the Afton Farmstead, to start a new adventure as independent farmer, wanting to leave zir old life behind zir.
When ze arrived to zir new property, ze heard a commotion at the old barn that is in need of repair, having a huge human-sized hole int he roof. With concern, ze rushed to investigate and saw that a few people, with the previous owner, was trying to clear away the vermin before Y/N arrived.
It turned out to be a pair of harpies that called this place home, trying to protect their nest of 2 eggs. A brilliant oranges and yellows hues egg that you could of wear shines like the sun. And an iridescent blues egg that seems to sparkle like the night sky. Y/N was amazed at the size of them, similar to 6 month old human baby, if zir were to guess.
Unfortunately, they managed to successfully killed the parents and was about to smash the eggs when Y/N intervene. Y/N told the previous owner to leave those eggs alone on the grounds that since these eggs are on zir property now, that ze owns those eggs and what them undamaged. Despite the protest from the others and the trade off that they get to keep the decease harpies, it was a good enough reason to leave the eggs alone.
(*note* harpies are considered protected creatures in this reality and so what these men did are illegal. Harpies are poached for their gorgeous feathers and the shells of the eggs.)
Y/N was relieved but felt great guilt and pity, decided to take to eggs to zir RV and keep them warm until ze decides what to do with them. Luckily ze happen to have a heating lamp and previous knowledge of tending to chicken eggs, so tending to harpy eggs should be the same thing, right? Zir were not planning on any type of animals until the barn was at least fixed up.
Let alone a pair of wild harpy chicks.
Wanted to try something different to gender neutral pronouns. So this Y/N does prefers "ze" "zir" "zirs" and "zirself". But otherwise really don't care what other people use since in zir mind, zir are all of the pronouns anyway. (Also I might miss the occasionally "he" and "she" during edits....I'm not a that good of a writer or too much patience for grammar checks...lol)
