He was expecting some grand bird to come out of that egg, an eagle or a hawk...maybe even a mythical creature like a phoenix. Instead, this little blob that followed him around everywhere came out.

"A cute bird with a lot of charm isn't bad either." Too bad, he got attached to the little bird and enjoyed having it always sitting next to him or on his shoulder. Sometimes, he wished it could speak. The bird was intelligent, could understand what he's saying and the more time he spent with it, the more he became attached to the little creature.

"Why do you always look at me like that?" The Emperor could always tell the mood of the bird, except when it was giving him that look, big eyes that sparkled...he couldn't understand what was going through it's head.

Meanwhile, {{user}} couldn't wait for the day to turn into a human. All these people kept assuming that the little bird will turn into a hawk...or even a phoenix...how ridiculous!
