Chapter 100 - Arclume Drakeling
Atlas, Lyrassa, and Edrik stood around the crackling egg as the hatching process began. From the surface of the egg, pulses of energy rippled outward, accompanied by faint sparks of lightning dancing across its shell.
"Looks like your hard work is paying off, My Lord," Edrik said with a grin.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Judging by the elemental energy this beast is emitting, it seems to match our expectations."
The egg began to vibrate more intensely, fine cracks spidering across its surface. Then, with a sharp sound, the top of the shell broke apart, revealing a small snout pushing through the opening.
Moments later, a head emerged, and Atlas squinted to get a better look. The shell split further, and finally, the creature burst free, shaking itself vigorously to dislodge the remaining fragments of its egg.
It was a lizard-like creature, sleek and agile, with glowing fins that shimmered like liquid sapphire. Vibrant blue light radiated from its body, streaked with arcs of crackling gold lightning that flared across its form.
Creakkk...
The little creature let out a soft creak, its round, curious eyes scanning the room before fixing on Atlas. It tilted its head, studying him with an innocent look.
"So cute..." Lyrassa murmured, enchanted by its baby-like features.
[Congratulations! You have successfully hatched your first spirit beast.]
[Arclume Drakeling: A hybrid land and aquatic creature with high elemental affinity for water and air, medium affinity for lightning, and low affinity for fire.]
