Dragon egg.
A being that was superior to all the other creatures was in Mount Yelia.
Even Eruhaben who lived on this very same mountain didn't know about this dragon's egg.
It could only mean one thing.
The dragon egg was placed there after Eruhaben left the mountain for some unknown reason.
Cale shivered as he felt his slacker life slipping away from his grip.
"So there's a baby dragon here goldie gramp?"
Raon asked Eruhaben, his eyes sparkled with the thought of acquiring a new sibling who was of the same species as him.
"Nya, our youngest wouldn't be the youngest anymore, nya!"
Hong exclaimed excitedly and exchanged gazes with his siblings.
On also had sparkling eyes and nodded at his brother's words.
Eruhaben sighed while looking at these kids.
"Kids, we do not know if the egg's parent is there or not. We cannot just take the egg away from its parent. You wouldn't like being taken away from Cale right?"
"No!"
The three exclaimed loudly to Eruhaben.
Just the thought of being separated from their guardian made them feel upset. They didn't want to feel lonely again. Their guardian was the one who provided them warmth and comfort.
The children realized their mistake and looked guilty to Eruhaben.
Cale stared at his children.
The children he adopted and took care of.
The children were also someone he needed to protect at all costs.
They brought him warmth and happiness he didn't know he was capable of feeling.
But he couldn't deny what Eruhaben said to the kids was wrong. The children needed to know what they said was a mistake so they won't do it again.
After all, who would like to be taken away from their precious family?
"Then Eruhaben-nim, let us go and search for the source of the dense mana"
And the dragon egg.
'It would be dangerous to just leave the egg alone in the forest as we don't know the cause of this thick mana yet'
Cale thought that if the egg is in a crisis state, he will take it home and let Eruhaben take care of the consequences. What use of him being an Ancient Dragon if he doesn't know how to handle a small egg?
Cale snickered at his traitorous thought.
If Eruhaben knew about what Cale is thinking, he would wear a disbelieving face and say, "What do you think Ancient Dragon is for, you unlucky bastard?!"
"Cale-nim"
"Yes, Choi Han"
"Do you think that the egg is all alone deep in the forest?"
Choi Han.
He was one of the people who went and save Raon who was tortured in that dark and lonely underground cave(?) His eyes darkened as he remembered the wounds on a much smaller and skinnier Raon from before. He hoped what he was thinking about wouldn't come true.
'The dragon egg will be fine.'
'After all, we got the person who wouldn't ignore this situation'
Choi Han started to smile as he thought about that person.
