The Last Egg!

"Keep your eyes and ears open" The words of the unnamed commander echoed in the minds of the expedition team as they ventured deeper into the mysterious Isle Bo'na, a city of untold riches swallowed by time and tragedy. The swamp forest, once thriving with life, now harbored the territorial and cunning lizard folks.

The hunting party, clad in armor and armed with determination, became prey to the reptilian inhabitants. Laughter filled the air as the lizard folks celebrated their victory, reveling in the easy feast that had befallen them. Among the fallen, the commander's hand was gnawed upon, a grotesque display of triumph for the lizard folk.

"HA HA HYA HYA HA HA, foolish human good meat easy meat," mocked one of the lizard folks, reveling in the spoils of their successful ambush. The bodies were looted, and the fallen commander was carried away for a gruesome feast back at the tribe.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the lizard folk tribe, the hatching ceremony was in full swing. Newborns emerged from eggs, each greeted with joyous celebration. The shaman lady bestowed names upon the hatchlings, connecting them to the ancient traditions of the tribe. Tribe Chief Biru anxiously watched as each egg hatched, his worry growing with the setting sun.

As night fell, only one egg remained, and all eyes were on it. The tension was palpable as the egg stirred, and finally, it began to roll. The chief's concern heightened as the egg displayed unusual movements. It soon became evident that this was no ordinary lizard folk baby.

Within the confines of the egg, the protagonist opened his eyes, bewildered and disoriented. Memories of a distant life, a battle with illness, and a doctor's advice to rest clashed with the surreal surroundings. As he attempted to make sense of his situation, the lizard-scale texture on his face perplexed him.

"Why do I have lizard scales on my face? Did I not succumb to cancer?" he wondered aloud. Struggling to comprehend his new form, he attempted to lick away the remnants of egg yolk, only to realize the profound differences in his anatomy. His hands were now small, and a tail extended from his body, adding to the surreal nature of his existence.

In his attempt to explore his transformed self, the egg rolled in the direction of the shaman lady. Although his actions were comical, they inadvertently led to the egg cracking. As the shell gave way, a white lizard baby boy emerged, adorned with minimal scales and a distinctive red stripe on his face, a stark contrast to his reptilian surroundings.

The shaman lady, recognizing the uniqueness of this newborn, picked him up and bestowed upon him the name "Kiki." The tribe, captivated by this extraordinary addition, awaited the unfolding of the mysterious fate that had brought Kiki to the Isle Bo'na.
