A dragon was running from the battle. One part of her mind screamed, go back to the battle! Fight for your queen, your tribe, and your friends! But another side of her brain said, your egg is due to hatch any minute now! You have to be there! The dragon clenched her jaw and kept flying to the rainforest, the hiding place for her egg. She spotted the odd colored tree, and spiraled down to it. She circled the tree until she spotted the camouflaged hollow, covered with leaves and vines. She started clearing away the vines, when she noticed an odd smell coming from the hollow. As she cleared away the last of the vines, she located the source of the smell—a scavenger! The dragon roared in fury and swiped at the scavenger.
"GET AWAY FROM MY EGG!" she finally managed to bat the scavenger out of the hollow. It fell down, down, down.
"stupid scavenger." She muttered. "How did it even climb up to the hollow? " Indeed, the hollow was positioned very high up the tree, higher than any scavenger could climb.
She stopped pondering this as the first cracks appeared on the egg. More cracks appeared on the egg, and finally, a dragonet popped out. The dark purple dragonet looked around, mystified.
"awrrk?" he said, testing out his new voice.
"Shush now, mommy's here." Said the dragonet's mother. " I might never see you again, but your father will take good care of you, I promise."
"you're going to change the world…Carmillow."
