Chapter 343: Setting a Trap
“Gods Max, you and the stuff you always show… a dragon egg?”
Nodding, he let each of them touch it, their eyes wide and hands trembling as the hard outer silver shell almost seemed to vibrate as each of them drew near to it.
“It’s going to hatch soon, isn’t it?” Batrire asked.
“Yes, and I’m still not sure where to take it. It will need someone or another dragon to watch over it and help protect it.”
“Uh… quick question,” Cordellia asked as she looked around the egg that was approaching the size of Fowl. “You’re not planning on keeping it as a pet, are you?”
Chuckling he shook his head.
“It’s hard enough caring for a dwarf warrior, I can’t imagine the problems we would face trying to keep others from killing a baby dragon. There is no telling how much it will eat and what will be required for it to learn. All things I’m not sure of. Now then, if you don’t mind, I need to put it in storage again. It slows down the hatching, but soon I won’t be able to stop it. The chest that Igarra had it in was different. I only wish I could have kept it, but there was no way to store it. All this different kind of dimensional magic is so weird.”
Fowl’s thick fingers traced the egg, his eyes never leaving the silver treasure.
“Still… a dragon… a baby dragon. You have no idea what this would mean to a dwarf.”
