The Cursed Egg

"The legend of Diorite and Jerboa had been passed down through every tribe for generations upon generations, warning against the folly of young love," says the red-orange dragon to the hatchlings seated around him. "Listen well, for it is a warning to every tribe."

One of the hatchlings straightens eagerly. "Can you start?"

The old dragon sighs, ruffling his wings. "Patience, young one." He takes a deep breath, then recites:

"The story of Jerboa, a tale of darkness and sorrow.

Diorite's sad story, of anger and of hatred.

A diplomat with a noble, spelled disaster for every tribe.

A rebellion in the sands, a mad king still he stands.

Unwilling mother of cursed egg, a hybrid dragon it would hatch...

The story of two lovers, doomed to never be."
