• Hatched in The Nook!

• [Deelagun Attack of 2018] The Deelagun attack left Tenga anxious to go fight the big bully but Alma wouldn't let him out. He got to help save some runeboos with Kalypso though!

• Then on the way back to The Nook, against Alma's commands, he went to explore the Deelagun death zone. Getting all up in the corpse and covered in the dark blood. He didn't get to stay long before he was picked up and taken back. 

• He didn't even get a proper chiding from Alma before he was already feeling feverish and tired. 

• It wasn't long before he was taken to the awful tented off area with a bunch of other sick looking Wyngrew. The mood hit him like a brick wall, dreary and boring. He hated every bit of it, and wanted to snap at every frown and hushed "How do you feel?" ANNOYED 

• Eventually, a bright orange Wyngling was dropped off beside him, and boy was Nico a breath of fresh air. 

• Together they decided to make a storybook about themselves to show to others to make even more friends. 

• But things just didn't go that way. 

• Tenga knew what the adults were trying to hide. That Nico wasn't coming back, just like all the others he'd seen being carried out. 

• It wasn't fair, it was her idea to make the book. She'd made him a friend. But now she'd have none. Why should he have any? They'd probably just end up leaving as she did. He should just rely on himself, no one else was strong enough. 

-

• Released from the quarantine, Tenga thought he was doing well enough on his own. But apparently, the adults didn't think so. They gave him a little squishy thing that followed him around everywhere. It's fine, it can do that if it wants, Tenga had no reason to stop it but he'd not going to go out of his way to make sure it's always there or anything. 

• Since then he's had closure, letting Nico go into the stars, beating up bullies (and unknowingly gaining an enemy for life) and getting attached to the little Runeboo he'd given the name Argo. 

• As soon as Tenga was big enough he took what opportunity he could to leave The Nook, taking part in Water Magic Class for some practical skill.

• Soon the friction between his number one enemy, Russet became too much and he had to find a new home. 

• He continued on with his water magic and coming across others, got a tattoo and found a new home in a roommate situation with Prairie at The Cosy Coatala. 

• They further bonded at Prairie's insistence by joining magic class together. Tenga learning wind while she tackles water, stepping in each other's shoes so to speak 

• He finds all the interactions reinvigorating, if a little bit bittersweet when old memories crop up. 

• ​He joins another class, this time for ice. 

• During all these classes, he and Prairie also attend a couple of pouch parties, one of an old classmate and the other of their landlady 

-

• Tenga meets a kindred spirit at one party and finds he enjoys her company, no challenge or stress he can just be. 

• To make matters better (and more... complicated) he runs into her again later in the forest. The soft princess is also a warrior and he is thoroughly impressed if confused (and very attracted) 

• They spend time together here and there, to the point where Tenga would consider her his closest friend.

• But he's too flustered and trying to appear big and tough to ask her to hang out more outside of coincidentally running into her. 

• To keep busy, he saves an egg, keeps advancing his water magic and even saves a pet or two. Or three. 

-

• Spite Hunting classes are offering to the town sometime later. And he'd be damned if he doesn't join

• Only to run into the warrior princess Kena yet again. They join forces and unfortunately, this includes Tenga's old enemy Russet. Tenga keeps him from being a danger to others and himself, doesn't mean he has to be gentle.

• To make matters worse, Kena - his most treasured friend - is looking at him with horror. Not the bird bully. And it hurts. 

• Things get dark and tense for a moment there, but for once he uses his words to step through an issue and they end up better for it. 

• Heartkindle rolls around and the pair exchange and receive some interesting gifts, so much so they come together to react to them. 

• Talk of travel has been swirling around town lately too, so juuuust in case, Tenga also gets some earth magic training under his belt. Worth it even when Russet rears his ugly head again. He's proud that he doesn't punch him out but still removes him as the problem. 

• He hears rumour of a big lady with treasure and it gives him an idea. Even if the interaction less than impressed in the end. 

• Learns some basic woodwork with Chester to build himself a boat for his pets for when he goes swimming. 

• Takes a light magic class to continue keeping busy and learning skills to get himself somewhere

-

• But really it's all a big plan to show off to Kena cause she's so cool. 

• It all comes to a head eventually where he can't hold back anymore. 

• So, of course, that's when the town is attacked by some massive Pelt Prowler and he ends up scratched up and with a broken leg but who cares when he gets to smooch your now sweetheart mid-battle. 

• Things settle and he moves in, of course. And helps his old roommate and friend Prairie move into The Cranny.

• He and Kena hang around The Nook and well he has feelings about seeing her with kids. And as usual, comes right out and tells her. 

• She has had some horrible experiences in the past though so they agree to adopt an egg. And adopt they do!

• Except... now it looks like they're forced to interact with the very guy that caused Kena so much strife before and Tenga is not pleased. 

• Still, he makes an effort to play nice, for the kid's sake. For now... 

• And true to form, they hatch during the pouch party once again!
