A peaceful summer night was abruptly interrupted by the sound of the train pulling into the station. It was nearly sunrise, and even those who had stayed up to catch crickets and fireflies had long since retired to their homes. It was unusual to have visitors at this hour. A stranger disembarked the train and walked out of the station into the sleepy town of Requies. They moved through the peach trees and crossed the cobblestone bridge, causing fish to dart and scatter. They held a clothed bundle close to their chest. It didn't take long for them to reach the lovingly-kept town square. The stranger approached the huge tree in the center and carefully placed the bundle at its roots. They paused for a moment before turning and making their way back to the station. The first signs of morning light had begun to appear over the trees as the train was heard departing. The early-rising villagers began to wake and prepare for their day, many excited for the upcoming fireworks show. The more easygoing- or perhaps lazy- villagers were mostly still sleeping. However, the dawn was quiet enough that nearly anyone may have heard the loud shriek of the baby under the tree as it too was awoken by the sun.

Vines drooped lazily over the veranda as leif neatly packed a bundle of bush seedlings into tixo's pockets; the day eagerly awaiting the sun's morning hike. The wind was blowing fairly briskly, carrying the sound of the train pulling in and gently stirring the shop signs as their keepers were starting their usual routines.
The villagers were slowly exiting their houses but still reticent in their wake. Tixo was planting bush seeds outside the town hall as a shriek pierced the silence. His ears immediately tensed and tilted towards the noise.
It appeared to be coming from the town square.
He arrived just in time to see a dark figure gently creeping off into the forest nearby. At the base of the tree was a clothed bundle with a baby wantonly crying. The baby was strange, having no tail, no fur and of pale skin smooth skin. There was a small note haphazardly strewn across the cloth.

The baby was wrapped comfortably in a soft yellow blanket. Its bright blue eyes were filled with tears. It had a puff of blonde, almost white hair on its head.
The note read: This child is exactly where she needs to be. Look after her, and your kindness will be repaid.
The baby continued to cry loudly. She seemed hungry, though she did not look like she had been starved. She was very clean and fairly healthy, as if she had just appeared.

Alert to the baby's distress, Tixo put down his bush seeds and immediately went foraging for some fruit. A nearby orchard had 5 trees, all full of ripe delicious peaches except...one tree had a strange looking piece of fruit. It looked like a peach but had a glossy coat.
Tixo shook the tree and grapped a handful of the peaches and mashed it into a small paste and feed it to the baby.
The baby immediately ate the peaches and contently fell into a slumber.
Tixo looked up at Wyatt sheepishly and said "So, who's going to look after this baby?"
