Chapter re-posted. Enjoy and thanks for reading.

Kia informed the dragonflight and the Kirin Tor about her discovery.

Two weeks later, the skies around the Amber Ledge were filled with red dragons. There had been so many losses during the battles against the Lich King, every egg not hatching was considered a tragedy to the species. Alexstrasza responded almost immediately, sending dozens of adult dragons to help reassure the frightened eggs, including a few who could communicate with the Kirin Tor.

Almost a month later, the first red egg hatched. The eggs began to hatch at a normal rate and everything began to return to normal.

Kia had not returned to the clutch since the initial discovery. She wanted to, but she decided to let the dragons work through their issues without interference. She had done what she had been tasked to do, though she was slightly disappointed to have missed out on talking with the unborn dragons.

Kia was packing her things to return to Stormwind when Attros knocked on the open door. "Ah, Kia, I'm glad I caught you before you left. You've been summoned to the clutch."

"Do you know why?" She asked.

Attros shrugged. "No idea. Brezzan just sent one of her underlings over to collect you."

Kia put away the bag she was packing and patted Quinn the head. They had spent a good amount of time apart since their arrival, since there was no good way for Quinn to travel with Kia to the clutch. "Well then, lead the way. I don't want to keep her waiting."

Kia was guided to the flight master, where one of the newest adult red dragons was waiting. Kia greeted the great beast with a bow, just as she always did before climbing onto a dragon's back. Once situated, they headed off towards the clutch. Kia was happy she was getting a chance to see the eggs one last time, though she was curious why she was being summoned. As far as she knew, her part in solving their problem was over.

As she entered the cavern, she noticed the place was far louder and more active than before. There were a few newly hatched dragons being guided by several young adults. There was quite a bit of chatter going on. It was the exact opposite of what she had seen the last time she was here. This fact made Kia smile and the hatchling dragons were adorable.

Kia found Brezzan at the very back of the cave, lying curled around the lone white egg.

"Ah, Kia. I'm glad you're we caught you before to left. Our lone albino egg has requested for you to be present at his hatching. It seems he's taken a liking to you."

Kia approached the large pearlescent egg, placing her hand gently on its side. The egg vibrated, feeling like a cat's purr.

"You're unique amongst your kind." The egg said. "I, too, will be unique once I hatch. I wish to travel with you. If you agree to share your life with me, I will share my life with you. I will serve as transportation and protection on your journeys. We will be siblings. Family."

"This is a rare honor, Kia. Dragon eggs very rarely hatch with the intention of bonding to a single bipedal soul. And Lantash is a very special dragon. Albino dragons are destined for great things."

Kia was speechless. "I don't know what to say. I'd be honored to have you join me on my travels."

There were no further words from the egg, but the light inside the egg began to slowly increase.

"You might wish to sit, young one. It will take some time for Lantash to hatch. Just remember, you are getting to witness something very few of your kind have the honor to behold. We normally like to keep to ourselves when we hatch, guarded from the younger races."

Kia sat down close enough to the egg to touch it and got comfortable. It seemed her adventure in Northrend just got an extension and she couldn't remember ever being this excited.
