Chapter 851 - Baby Dragons
851 Baby Dragons
“So, where will I stay?” the dragon asked after I brought her, her eggs, and the floating island here to the Monsters Village.
“If you need to stay high in the sky, then I suggest you stay in that cloud. That’s where the angels are residing. Though if they don’t allow it, then I guess you will have to stay in that biggest floating island there. Though you might be moving around a lot since the monsters here will try to push that thing around for sport,” I said.
“Well, I don’t really need to be in the sky. So I’m fine with being in the ground. Though being in that cloud seem interesting,” the dragon said.
“Then I will ask the angels if you can stay there,” I said.
I didn’t contact anyone beforehand so my presence here is quite a surprise for the monsters. But they know me. They know that I sometime come here uninvited. But that’s fine. Because I’m like the king in this village.
I also told them that I would bring all the floating islands here when I found one. So they already expected that if I come here, it would be to bring another floating island.
But what they didn’t expect was for me to bring a dragon here. And not just a dragon, but a mother dragon. With 5 eggs laying beside her.
Apparently, a mother dragon doesn’t need to warm the egg with their bodies like a chicken or most birds. But she’s still protecting her eggs. Just like any creatures, I guess. Though I don’t know if all monsters are the same.
The monsters then approached us since they are curious about the dragon. None of them are hostile because I’m the one who brought the dragon with me. I just hope that they won’t steal the eggs.
.....
“Here’s another addition to the village. A wind dragon and her eggs. I want you all to let her stay here. Graham, is it okay if she stays on that cloud?” I asked Graham while pointing at the Angel’s Sanctuary. Or the cloud that we can step on. That has been attached to a tree with several vines.
“Sure. There are some spaces since some of the angels started living down there. They said that it’s easier to fight or watch a fight from down there. So there are some opening above,” Graham said.
Just like that, the dragon is allowed to go to the cloud. So we moved her eggs to that cloud.
We asked the elves to built a nest for the dragon and her eggs. It’s done quickly because they are using plant magic.
“Is she a good addition to the team?” Shelia asked.
The monsters are still there in the cloud asking me if the dragon is a great addition to the village.
“She’s Andro’s granddaughter. As for whether she’s strong or not, you can ask to her about it. Well, since she’s a dragon and a direct descendant of Andro, she might be strong. But ask her first if she wants to fight or not. Also, Andro is supposed to come here soon to meet her. Make sure that her eggs are safe,” I said.
Hearing that she’s Andro’s granddaughter, that’s good enough for the monsters to not be hostile to her. They have experienced Andro’s intimidation. And some even fainted because of that.
I’m sure none of them want to be affected by that intimidation again.
After saying a few more words, Andro then arrived. I guess he was nearby when I called him.
The dragon left to meet Andro while leaving one angel to protect the dragon eggs. And I bid my farewell to return back to where I met the dragon. I will continue my journey from there.
If it’s an island that size, I should be able to transport another two more. So I will look for them again. Though I don’t think I will find anymore island today.
And one week after the dragon moved into the village, I found two more floating islands. I brought them all to the village.
When I brought the floating islands, I see that the dragon has gotten along with the others there. Seems like she’s also a fighter and love fighting. Though she refrains from doing it at least until her eggs hatched and the baby dragons appear.
...I want to see a baby dragon hatched. So I asked Graham to inform me if the eggs will hatch.
And today is the day. So I opened a portal to the Monsters Village to watch the miracle of birth.
Yeah, as a doctor myself, I have delivered a lot of babies in my past life. And it’s something that I don’t mind doing it again and again.
Then I got a message from Kayla to ask me about my current situation. So I told her about the dragon.
“You never told us anything about a dragon! Take us there now!” I guess everyone wants to see the eggs hatching.
“Victoria, did you forget to tell them about the dragons?” I asked Victoria.
“I thought that you wanted to be the one telling them about it,” Victoria said.
I guess it’s my fault then. Let’s just stop the exploration and bring everyone over.
I thought that I would be able to continue my exploration after watching the eggs hatched. But I guess I’ll take a one day break today.
Everyone is here. Even Andro. He’s flapping his wings quickly so he can float in one spot the whole time.
I introduced them all to the dragon and soon after that, I see the baby dragons started moving inside the eggs one by one.
I have watched the baby dragon grows inside the egg. And I think everyone is healthy. Though one dragon is different than the others. But I didn’t tell anyone about it. Because I don’t know if it’s normal or not.
Though someone asked me about what I see.
“Roy, you can see inside the eggs, right? Is there anything wrong with my great grandchildren?” Andro asked.
“Well... four of the eggs are fine. But one is different. While the other four’s bodies are big enough to fill the egg, that one is much smaller than the eggs. There are some space left inside the eggs. So even though that one seem to be the first one to move, he hasn’t break the egg yet,” I said.
“A small dragon from a big egg? Don’t tell me...” Andro said.
What? It’s something even better than a normal dragon? Or is this one flawed?
When I thought so, everyone now can see the eggs movement. And one by one, the four eggs started moving.
Cracks appeared on the eggs as a dragon head coming out of there. One by one, four baby dragons came out of the eggs.
“So cute!”
Yeah, that’s the girls’ reaction seeing the birth of baby dragons. And when I said the girls, it’s just the female humans. The female monsters didn’t react as such.
After they were born, they instantly recognize their mother. Then their attention turned into the eggs they were hatching from. And they started eating those eggs.
“Is that normal?” I asked.
“Yeah. Dragons eat the shell of the egg they were hatching from. Even if there are other eggs, they won’t pay attention to them. Just the shells from their own eggs,” Andro said.
I guess Andro would have a lot of experience watching baby dragons hatched.
“If I’m not wrong, it’s because the hatchlings were looking for the nutrients from the eggs. That’s why they are eating the shell of the eggs they hatched from. As for why they didn’t target other eggs, I don’t know.”
That’s Victoria with her knowledge that most people here don’t know. We just let her talk because what she said might be correct since there’s no scholar here who researched on dragons.
If she’s right, then being the smallest could be good for them. Because that means they consumed more nutrients as a baby than the other siblings.
So I checked on the smallest dragon which is still inside the eggs. Now that I heard about it, I can see that when the dragon is opening and closing his mouth, he’s actually swallowing the liquid inside the egg. And he quickly grow bigger. Once he swallowed everything, he could be the biggest dragon.
“The small dragon grow bigger so quick! His body is almost as big as the egg now. And it will get bigger again!” I said.
“As expected. Once that egg hatched, the dragon will be bigger than the egg itself. If that one can break out of the shell,” Andro said.
Then he explained what he’s talking about. From his own experience watching so many dragons hatched. And hos own past experience.
He always felt that some eggs have smaller dragons in them. But then suddenly, they grew bigger.
And he knew instinctively that’s the birth of another Kaiser Dragon. The same species as he is.
Unfortunately, before they could break out of the egg, they died inside. That’s why he’s still the only Kaiser Dragon in this world. At least we haven’t found another one yet.
“So, if this one could hatch, this might be a Kaiser Dragon?” I asked.
“Yes. If not, then his fate will be the same as the rest,” Andro said.
“Can we help by breaking it out from the egg?” I asked.
“You shouldn’t. If he can’t do it himself, then he will only be a weak dragon for the rest of his life,” Andro said.
And so, we waited. For hours. And I see everything inside the egg. 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝔀𝒆𝚋no𝐯𝘦𝘭. c𝑜𝗺
And finally, the egg started cracking. Even if the dragon is bigger than the others, this one shell seems to be stronger than the others.
Everyone prayed for the health of the future Kaiser Dragon. And he finally came out with a loud and cute roar.
“Roaarrr!”
And the second Kaiser Dragon was born. Or hatched. Whatever.
The others even sweating just to wait for this one to hatch. And now we all know that this one is a fighter.
...Though I don’t think that this one and his siblings will help in the fight against the cult. I hope they don’t. Because I don’t want to wait for them to grow to destroy the cult.
