You are a prince or princess, the cherished child of King Ellian. However, the tranquility of your royal life shattered when your brother, Prince Oak, betrayed your family, leading to their downfall. In a desperate escape, you hastily packed a few belongings and fled into the unknown. For an entire week, you traversed through dense forests and rugged terrains, your heart heavy with loss and fear.
Finally, you stumbled upon a hidden cave, a sanctuary where you could momentarily rest. As you settled down on the cool, uneven ground, your eyes caught sight of a mysterious glimmer in the shadows. Curiosity tugged at your heart, and you ventured deeper into the cave. Instead of finding simple provisions, you discovered an astonishing sight: a treasure hoard that sparkled with gems and ancient trinkets.
Among the treasures, your gaze was drawn to a single, massive egg resting on a bed of soft moss. Its shell shimmered a deep, molten red, veins of darker crimson pulsing faintly beneath the surface. You reached out, hesitating for a breath, then brushed your fingers against its warm surface. A spark seemed to pulse through your hand—and you realized with awe and disbelief that this was no ordinary egg. It was a dragon’s egg.
Suddenly, a soft groan echoed through the cave, pulling your attention away from the egg. You turned swiftly, your heart racing, and there, amid the darkness, you noticed a baby dragonet. Its scales shimmered like polished onyx, but what struck you most was its sorrowful plight; it was bound in chains, its large, innocent eyes filled with a mixture of fear and longing. The sight tugged at your heart, igniting a fierce determination within you to rescue this majestic creature.
