The queen looked at her eggs and picked one up, hugging it protectively. The king looked at his eggs with pride, secretly wishing that nothing bad would happen to them. It isn’t their first clutch and it isn’t their last, yet they look over it protectively while celebrations for Riot of Rot can be heard outside.
“Resheph, will our children be healthy and strong?” the queen asked, trying to comfort herself. “No worries, Badb. Our previous children all hatched out great, remember?” Resheph assured her, placing a claw on her shoulders.
The egg that Badb was holding began to shake, which she quickly and gently placed down as the other eggs also began to shake. A crack formed on the eggs as they shake while the king and queen watch with excitement.
One of the eggs shook some more and a hole formed on the egg, with the other eggs soon following suit. The egg broke and a newborn hatchling emerged from the egg, looking curiously at their parents.
