Norman’s dragon egg was on the verge of hatching! He threw a grand event at Mystical Terrace, inviting everyone to witness the birth of the divine dragon. It was a once–in–a–century spectacle. If you’re late, you’ll regret it!”
Suddenly, the Blue Dragon wriggled out of my hold and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
“Something doesn’t feel right!” Nick exclaimed.
Without hesitation, Nick scooped me up and soared towards Mystical Terrace.
It was unheard of for a Black Dragon to fly so high, but Nick defied the odds.
When we arrived at Mystical Terrace, it was jam–packed. Nick landed on the eaves.
“Welcome, folks! Come and witness the birth of my little one. And to spice things up, I’ve got a special surprise,” Norman said with a smirk.
He clapped his hands, and his servants brought in a box.
My heart skipped a beat.
“I once said Megan’s offspring would be a disappointment.

Today, I’ll prove I was right,” Norman declared, lifting the lid.
There lay my black egg, with visible cracks on the shell.
“Norman!” I shouted, swooping down from the eaves.
“You’re just in time. Let’s see who ends up laughing last!” Norman cackled.
Then his servants rolled in his golden egg, which was already shaking restlessly.
He said, “Today, you’re all witnesses. I’m the Golden Dragon, and my words are law!”
The cracks on the golden egg widened, and a blinding golden light filled the air.
“No wonder it’s a Golden Dragon egg! I can’t see a thing,” someone cried out.
“It’s coming out! It’s coming out!”
Everyone craned their necks, straining to get a better look.
Norman laughed maniacally. “The divine dragon has arrived. You’ll all bow to me. I’ll be the king of the Dragon Clan!”
As the light dimmed and the eggshell started to break, everyone held their breath.

“What the… What is this?”
“A Black Dragon?”
”
To everyone’s shock, a hideous, deformed low–class Black Dragon leaped out of the egg.
“What the hell is that thing with two tails!”
Norman’s smile froze. He grabbed the newborn dragon cub frantically.
“Impossible! I followed the ancient book to the letter and used tons of rare herbs.”
His face contorted with anger. The little dragonet let out a hoarse wail.
Sally collapsed to the ground, wailing, “I knew it wouldn’t work!”
I was right. Norman was so confident because he must have used some secret method to alter the dragon’s attributes. Now the Golden Dragon didn’t hatch, and his child was a mess.
Disappointed, people started to murmur, and some even stormed off.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I rushed to the black egg and

With a crack, the black egg began to split, and the cracks grew wider.
“What’s that?”
“Iridescent Vitreous Light!” an elder gasped, pointing at me.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
The light grew brighter, illuminating half the sky.
Suddenly, the black egg started to tremble violently. With a deafening roar, the eggshell shattered.
A golden dragon claw emerged from the broken shell, its sharp claws glinting in the sunlight. Then a dragon’s head popped out.
“Mommy!” The voice was sweet and clear. Its round eyes stared
at me.
I was taken aback by the little one’s call. Nick also came to my side.
The little dragon wriggled free from the remaining eggshell. Its golden scales sparkled with the Iridescent Vitreous Light in the sunlight.
It nuzzled my palm and then Nick’s.
