Lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the world and blinding it at the same time. The faint outline of an island became visible in the fading light. Another flash quickly reveals the island again, and a mountain in the center of it is discernible.

Another flash of lightning. A four-winged creature squawks in fear and dives down through a large hole in the top of the mountain. Inside, hundreds of dragons reside in the safety of its caves. Storms were harmful, and an unlucky dragon caught in the middle of one could easily be killed. In one of the caves a purple egg with blue ridges sits on top of a nest of straw.

Crack.

This time, it's not the lightning.

The top of the egg seeps open, revealing a purple head with a hooked snout. The wet, sticky eyelids peel open, uncovering a pair of dilated eyes with yellow irises. And in that moment, the world is changed forever.
