Chapter 249: Purposedly Hatched
Asura took good care of the remaining three eggs. Following Kasper’s advice, she talked to them once in a while, hoping that one of the eggs would recognize her voice and choose her as its dragon rider due to familiarity.
"I’m back again, lovely dragons! It’s me, Asura," she greeted the three eggs as she gently opened the cache to look at them. They were stored inside Levi’s tent, but Levi and the others were now in the clearing, training with their dragons under Kasper’s supervision.
She pulled up a chair and stared at the three eggs. They were adorned with red, blue, and white metallic dragon scales. "You three are all so pretty. I’m sure you will look majestic like the rest of the first hatched. Right now, we have four: a gold one named Aurum, a black dragon named Onyx, a silver one named Ember, and a green dragon named Jade."
"Where were we again? Yesterday, I told you a story about a princess and the beast, right? It’s a love story, and I’m not sure if all of you prefer it, so this time I have something new, an adventure about the giant and the beanstalk," Asura cheerfully stated.
She enjoyed moments like this since she was a natural chatterbox. Besides, she had nothing else to do for now, so she spent her time entertaining the baby dragons inside their shells. According to Levi, they were all alive inside, so she had to be careful not to touch them, as they might glow at any moment and hatch.
Asura was in the middle of her storytelling when the white egg suddenly glowed and wiggled. Startled, she unknowingly backed away, causing her chair to fall back with her.
"Awww!" she winced at the pain in her back. She quickly moved, ending up sitting on the ground while staring at the white egg that was slowly hatching.
She should have called the rest, but watching the white egg hatch was so mesmerizing that she couldn’t help but keep her eyes glued to the small white dragon emerging from it.
"So beautiful!" she gasped as the baby dragon slowly opened its eyes. She blinked several times, seeing it smile at her. Asura even rubbed her eyes to be sure of it. It was indeed smiling at her and giggling as it fluttered its beautiful lashes. It was as white as snow!
Her body stiffened when the dragon slowly walked toward her.
"Oh my, please don’t bite me. I’m a friend," her voice started shaking as she inwardly cursed herself.
