I started laughing a lil when I read Chickadee, was that intentional or do you remember the animal thing?After catching a lot more fish and leaving a large amount of it at the rehabilitation center, where the orphaned but rescued dragonets would be taken care of, King flew to the hatchery. His mind wouldn’t quit replaying the dream over and over again, bright flashes of light and the guilt he felt for cracking it. It had to stop.
The hatchery was filled with so many eggs that Chickadee, the head of hatchery, had to find herself a few helpers. Two younger cloudwings were attending to eggs and checking humidity and heat, all while chickadee oversaw them.
King walked in with a nervous chuckle, smiling at chickadee and quietly walking over. “Hey Dee, how’ve you been? How’s Osprey?” He asked in a whisper, noticing a few eggs wriggling around, a few with hairline cracks that were beginning to hatch.
“Oh I’m doing good, dear. Osprey not so much unfortunately.” The middle aged dragoness said sweetly, noticing kings face after she mentioned Osprey. “Oh he’s just grumpy, the Council won’t let him find an heir to leadership of The Grebes Nest Until he’s “incapable of doing the leading himself”. It’s ridiculous is what it is.” She said in a mock voice of the leader of council while crossing her eyes. It made king chuckle and have to shake his head.
“I hope he’s getting that figured out, do you happen to know where that egg i brought in is? From the compound beyond the mountains.” He asked, looking like he felt stupid for asking, which he kinda did.
Chickadee suddenly got a suspicious look on her face, then smiled and walked over to a room, it had a sort of glass window and King could see the cracked egg inside. It pulsed with light as he neared, then it began to fade.
“It’s yours isn’t it?” Chickadee said out of the blue, and King couldn’t help but bark a loud laugh. The noise made the egg glow brighter and king clamped a talon over his snout to stop himself. “What ever made you get that idea? Of course it isn’t mine! You think I’m a father? Haha!” He said in a loud whisper. He continued laughing quietly and chickadee gave him a questioning look. “Alright, alright. Suuure.” She said as she walked away and king continued laughing. He finally calmed himself down and turned to the egg, smiling at it. “ hello there little one, you doing ok? I hope that cracks not too troublesome.” He said, than shook himself, talking to an egg, he’d been in the sun too long.
ALSO I'M SO CURIOUS AS TO WHAT DRAGON THAT EGG IS HELP (i should not be this invested)
