Genesis

Dexter and Gan were both born in the same day on the same nest. You may even call them twins since they too have the same mother!

How is it possible you ask? Well that's what Dex thinks. Gan's mom is the only mom he has ever seen. So for him she's his mom.

The story of his origin is an interesting one. His actual mom ( who is a dove, obviously) had to lay her egg into the crow's nest because she was escaping, hurt, from an eagle chasing her and she gave her life just shortly after laying the egg that became Dex.

Gan's mom was not a bright one and she just thought that the extra egg on her nest was always there and hence didn't break Dex's egg.

When it was time to hatch, Dex pecked out his way into the world a little different compared to Gan and Gan's mom just thought that Dex was a unique child.

Dexter had limited knowledge of his birth so he believed he is a crow cos his mom is a crow.

Gan's mom with her limited wisdom ended up believing that Dan is her child and so she raised Dan up like 

her own.

Can you blame Dex or Gan or Gan's mom for letting Dan believe he is a crow?

Dex doesn't become a crow because he believed he is one.

• How will Dex know he is a dove?
• Will Dex benefit by knowing his true origin? Only time will tell...
