It was silent in the cave as Dune and Kestrel waited for Webs to return with the Skywing egg.
Kestrel: …Morrowseer could have said that there were supposed to be two Nightwing eggs. Webs would have stolen two Seawing eggs.
Dune: Maybe he likes even numbers.
Kestrel: That's one of the dumbest things you've ever said.
While they were talking the Mudwing was beginning to hatch, signaled by a cracking sound that got the guardians attention.
Kestrel: The Mudwings hatching.
Dune: It can't hatch yet! We only have four!
Kestrel: Feel free to explain that to the egg.
Webs had finally bolted in holding a multicolored Rainwing egg. And Kestrel was quick to point this out.
Kestrel: Webs. That's a Rainwing egg. You brainless salamander.
Webs: Its all I could get!
Dune: Put it with the others. Quick!
The Mudwing egg was cracking even louder now.
Kestrel: The prophecy calls for a Skywing. And you bring us a Lazy, Stupid, Rainwing?
Webs: Queen scarlet destroyed all the Skywing eggs that would have hatched tonight. And we need five Dragonets for the prophecy!
Dune: LOOK! He's hatched.
He said as the Mudwing hatched and looked at the other unhatched eggs.
Dune: So that's a baby Mudwing.
Webs: He's kind of… Cute. A little… Blobbier than I expected.
Kestrel: He looks dim. Exactly as I expected.
Webs: We need a Mudwing name for him.
Dune: Yes. Something… Muddy.
Kestrel: Very insightful. Dune.
Webs: How about Clay?
While the guardians were arguing about what name to give to the Mudwing, the Mudwing in question was making a sizeable hole in the egg beside him. A Large Blue spotted Nightwing egg and had only stopped when a large green eye was visible through the hole. He flopped to the floor and tackled the blue Seawing egg making the Seawing inside let out a roar of surprise that caught the attention of the Guardians.
Dune: What is he doing?
Webs: He's attacking them! Stop that!
Kestrels red paw picked Clay up and held him close to her face.
Dune: Kestrel. What is wrong with him?
Kestrel: Nothing. He's just what we need. A little monster.
