Chapter 162: It’s Hatching
Katelina was in her bedchamber when the door to the adjacent chamber opened, and Levi rushed in, with Asura trailing behind him.
"Sister, you called for me?" Levi asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.
"Yes, I want to show you something," Katelina replied with a smile. She then signaled Asura to open the secret storages they had crafted on either side of the fireplace. Inside were the dragon eggs: six on the right and six on the left.
"Eggs?!" Levi gasped, his excitement palpable as he touched the clay egg shells that shimmered like polished metals in a variety of colors—bronze, silver, red, black, copper, white, blue, green, brass, and gold.
Katelina was certain that if she were a descendant of the dragon rider, then Levi must be one too. She believed he could awaken the eggs just as Priest Saul had said she would.
"They are so big!" Levi exclaimed, his hands caressing the silver egg in particular.
"They are dragon eggs, Levi," Katelina explained with a smile. Levi gently cradled the silver egg in his arms, his eyes wide with wonder.
"Wow, it moves quickly inside. This one wants to get out already, Sister," Levi murmured, his excitement growing. "She’s so beautiful!"
"You can see what’s inside?" Katelina asked, amazed, as she had not been able to see the baby dragons within the eggs.
"Yes, everyone else is still sleeping, but she’s wiggling inside," Levi replied. Katelina exchanged a baffled look with Asura.
"How do you even know it’s a female dragon?" Asura asked, her curiosity piqued.
