Druuna is a female alien. She is Zarko’s mother. She left six eggs in a nest, in a cave in the rocky mountains of Ganymede. The birth hour of the alien chickens draws near. The chickens start wriggling within their confinement. They knock on the inside  of their eggshells. The first shell breaks and the other alien babies grow more excited. One egg after the other breaks, and finally all aliens disappear in the rainy atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.
