Chapter 113: SOMETHING THAT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
Iris was staring at the magic stone in her hand when something caught her attention. There was this small flickering thing inside of the stone, and when she looked at it closely, she found out that there was a little flame inside it.
She didn’t realize it before, but somehow the flame looked like it was alive, if it made any sense, because right now, Iris could see it was flickering as if it was breathing.
She was fascinated by the sight and forgot about her fear of darkness. She was entranced and realized the little fire grew stronger. The flicker was following her breathing rhythm, but then it became clearer and bigger, as if there was something moving inside, not just breathing.
Iris frowned and then nudged the stone, rolled it on her palm with her finger and a second later, it cracked. "Huh?!" She was terrified to see the crack, because it wasn’t supposed to be like that.
A magic stone was not so frail, but it wasn’t the sturdiest stone either. Even so, there was no way a nudge would be able to leave a crack on it.
The crack became even bigger, but this time, it looked like there was something from inside that would come out. Iris blinked her eyes to look at it closely, now all of her attention fixed on it.
"How could this be possible..." she muttered under her breath, her mouth went agape to watch the process of hatching.
What is this? Magic stone is some kind of egg?
Iris was puzzled, but she watched a beautiful life come out of the small magic stone. She didn’t even realize that she was holding her breath, waiting to see what kind of creature would come out of this small stone.
