Drake sat on the floor beside the small golden chest and watched the egg. He gently rubbed its smooth surface as it slowly began to open. When it finally did, the eggs fell to the side, vanishing into a cloud of light particles.
Drake, seeing the cloud of light particles, was horrified, hoping that it was just the shell. The cloud of light was too thick to see the small beast beneath it.
When the light particles cleared, a little hiss sounded. Sitting on the soft pillow of emerald green silk was an emerald green baby dragon.
The baby looked up at Drake as he gently caressed its tiny head. "Hello, little one," he greeted the newborn dragon.
