Deathbringer clutched the egg closer. He couldn't afford to let anyone see him. He had to hide the egg. My egg. He thought. It wasn't supposed to exist, but here it was, in his front talons. He'd never expected to fall in love with a RainWing. He had especially never expected that RainWing to be the  Queen of the RainWings. This egg could dethrone Glory and get her banished from her tribe. Equally horrifying, the NightWings would kill him if they knew about this egg. Cross tribe breeding was forbidden in the NightWing tribe. He looked down. The deep purple and silver egg shone in the moonlight. He wondered if it was a son or daughter, and he would find out soon. The dragonet inside the egg shook slightly, and Deathbringer held it closer. "Shhhhh," he whispered to it, "It's going to be alright little one." He wrapped his wings around him and the egg. "I will make sure you'll be okay."
