"Why are you in my kingdom, SunWing?" he growled, cutting her off.
"I have an egg. It needs to be cared for somewhere and-"

"Oh, it's not a Daywalker," she promised, holding out the satchel for him to see.
"What the-"he stared at it's metallic surface of blue and gold. The color shifted around underneath the shell.
"A TimeWing twin egg," she smiled. "The last in Jerrynd."
"How did you get this, Sunburst?" he asked, staring at the egg in awe.

"No, no no," he waved a claw. "I will take this egg to a safe place. You, well, you'll see. I'm sorry again, by the way, but I do have a title to uphold. Guards!" he clapped and two StarWings shot out of the sky like bullets.
"No!" Sunburst cried. "No..!"
