Chapter 413 The Egg



"So Rein... a wyvern egg, hn? That\'s some great treasure you found from fighting a goblin."

There was a smile on my face that couldn\'t ever explain the mixture of emotions that I was feeling right now...

It was just too absurd. And unbelievable. And amazing...

We were actually talking about a wyvern egg here. A creature that was one of the closest relatives of the epitome of all existence, dragons.

This egg had a top-grade purple-ranked creature inside it. And yes... it was alive, fully born, and just waiting for the right moments to come into this world.

\'Now the dangerous thing is this one\'s parents.\'

Wyverns are some of the most loving parents and, unlike many fantasy stories in this world, they were not that different from the wise dragons.

Though they were only as powerful as the fully evolved tigers and were actually definitely bonded and tamed by people. But, the people like them only numbered fifteen to sixteen...

They were all strong too, so it was understandable, but no known person had a newborn wyvern.

To begin with, the parents never left their eggs, and at least one of them always protected them.

So, if what we were seeing right and what our eyes told us was true, it meant that the parents of this egg were either dead or maybe the egg itself was stolen from them by some stronger beings.

And if we were talking about dwarves... it was most definitely possible that they could have done either of those things.

If the parents were dead already, it was well and good, but, if the parents of the egg were alive and searching for it, it might get complicated if they do find it... find us.

\'But what could be the chances of that, right?\'

"Treasure... bastard. Calling a draconian egg a treasure... what the hell do you think will happen if the child searches for its parents, goes wild, or falls in the hands of some bad people?"

The result might certainly be dangerous and if we were talking about a newborn here... the whole world would certainly want such a treasure. It was easy to \'domesticate\' a powerless child than a strong adult, after all.

"But it\'s more of a reason we should bring him back with us and teach about the world ourselves, right?"

"But wouldn\'t this be dangerous? I mean..."

She was genuinely worried about this unexpected thing. But still, this was something that we found in her room, so it was theoretically hers.

But there was nothing to worry about. It was just a great purple-ranked creature.

We already had an adult one back at home, so a child was more than manageable. Besides...

"It\'s your egg Rein. Wouldn\'t it be better to take it out of this closed-off place?

The creature inside the egg could quite possibly become someone who would rule the skies of the capital. You would let him just be here, caged in this box, in this room?

What if it breaks everything here or worse... what if he doesn\'t even get the chance to see this amazing world?

It was fate that we found this box and this good egg. What would have happened if it wasn\'t for us?"

And as soon as I said it like that, she looked at me with wide eyes full of self-loathing...

"It wasn\'t your fault, so don\'t think too much about it." I patted her head before she could fall into the depths of despair...

She didn\'t say it on purpose, though. And she was thinking about the people back home...

"Ok then. We will take this baby with us~." I cheerfully smiled and her weak expression was washed away.

She also smiled while shaking her head and took out the big egg from the box.

"It\'s heavy. More than three of the povpoi children, actually."

She was really astonished as soon as she picked it up. And being heavy was just a natural thing.

"A wyvern female lays three to six eggs during their mating season.

But those ferocious mating seasons mostly happen in dense forests and large valleys only once in ten to twenty years.

The egg\'s outer shell is made of a very dense organic concentration which has hardness close to purple Mithril. It\'s a rare material and, as you might have heard, is super costly.

Maybe we will see some at the auction after a few weeks."

As a pure draconic species, they possessed various powers and affinity with most elements of nature. But different from the other magical beasts, they were some of the few special creatures who possessed a special ability similar to Celes\'s <Skill>.

Well, that ability was something they were born with and it varied.

So, they were strong creatures from the moment they were born. And they were born with great intelligence, too.

I knew a good much about them, so I was confident we would be alright even if it acted aggressively as soon as it hatched.

The chances were low, though. And I ultimately had more expectations than concerns about this one.

It was ultimately an awesome thing that we possessed something of this grand level.

The image of my family, Rein and I, or the knights riding a giant wyvern, was... soul thrilling!

\'Just thinking about it is amazing~!\'

And if Anna and I were the ones riding on top of it...

-Smack!

"Bastard! I\'m asking you something here! What the hell are you thinking so deeply about?!" she shouted, and the pain from her slap on my back brought me back to the present.

"That was painful..." really painful.

"That\'s what you get to just get lost in thoughts by yourself. Hump!"

She turned her head to the other side and puffed her cheeks while still hugging the big egg.

I remember she asked me something like how I know so much about the wyverns and she only asked about it nine times. It wasn\'t that much, but I was still punished...

"Well, damn... anyway, you look cute with that face and as for your question, I read an old book on wyverns.

Maybe I will lend it to you sometime in the future, ok?"

"Of course! Book... bastard!"

She was still pissed off, so I had difficulty calming her down.

***

It took a while, but she calmed down and we decided to go up and discuss this egg-matter with her family first.

Her parents and grandparents were shocked how something like this one was just laying under their house.

They felt sympathy for the unborn baby, but they finally decided that I should take care of it.

I knew about them the most and also about how to handle the children if something happened and they got angry.

They were also happy that her room was finally cleaned and that they can also go there if they wanted.

They thanked me, and we said goodbye after dinner.

It may seem like they were taking this serious matter lightly, but unlike the povpoi children, we were talking about an unborn child which would be hatching very soon.

They definitely understood the greatness of the situation, but Rein wasn\'t much interested in the egg in the first place.

She felt guilty for not ever looking after her things and even thinking of just leaving the egg there.

She said she was already unworthy of having it, but she was ready to right her wrongs and do her best to raise this child.

So, with a new strong heart, we went back to my home at night and... surprisingly, everyone was still up, so I asked everyone to gather in my room so that I could show them the egg.

It was in my white crack at that time so it was alright, but when I took it out before everyone, until the moment I showed this special creature to my special family members, I hadn\'t thought of one possibility...

-Shiiiiiiiiiiim!

-Sweeeeeeeeesh!

"Eon?! What\'s happening?!"

"Eon?! W-what\'s this...?!"

"Alf...?"

"Hahaha. It\'s early and unexpected, but he will be a mage in true meaning now!"

That was my grandpa at last and right now the office of my room was in an utter mess, but it didn\'t matter.

As some had already thought, the egg that we accidentally found and brought back with us... the special creature that had stayed in a closed box for a long time, and my little brother who definitely was a better mage than many experienced ones had found each other...

It was an event that mostly only happened once in a mage\'s lifetime.

And this one was a special one among those special events.

Bonding with a draconic species... was a special event all in itself.

And this time, the bonding was happening between a creature that had just hatched from its egg and a boy that had searched far and wide for a being that was \'the one\' for him.

At this moment, the two of them, the newborn cute wyvern and Alf, were surrounded by a strange storm, and Alf was just holding the baby while looking into its eyes, as if talking with it.

It reminded me of the time I bonded with Celes in that dark cave, but the current situation was different from back then.

My room was being destroyed by these winds!

A torrent of energy was filling my room, and the impact had already activated my protection spells, so there were now barriers around everyone\'s body but still... everything was being destroyed!

Just the fact that I would have to do more work was something, but at least this current situation was worth it.

"Beautiful..." Rein exclaimed with admiration while dad and uncle Theo had a nostalgic expressions.

The ladies were worried while grandpa Zhen was protecting Anna and the povpoi children by grandpa\'s side while Anna and the children and even Mave were spellbound by the jade-green light surrounding the two of them.

I knew Anna especially liked what was happening right now. It was her first time seeing someone bond with an energy beast. And this one was even more special than the normal times.

This moment... she would definitely remember it and it would become a good spark of growth for her.

She might even want to do the things she had avoided until now but, that would be for good.

The young povpoi\'s big blue eyes reflected the green light as they just looked at the two of them like Anna. It would also definitely be helpful for them.

So that was the children and... the atmosphere right now was more captivating than I thought.

It was good... but my words were insufficient to describe what this special feeling was like for him.

It was his moment... and it was better shown from his eyes.

But for us bystanders... this was certainly spectacular~!
