Soul Moss is a magical plant. Like most magical plants, it decays when it is separated from the soil. It must be immediately stored in a magical container or solidified in something that maintains magic. The child recklessly picked it by hand without any of these, which was nothing short of a reckless waste of resources.
A roar from the sky startled the child, causing him to fall on his butt, panickedly waving his wooden shovel at the sky.
With a tilt of his little face, a tiny face was revealed, with tiny dragon scales growing on his cheeks, nose, and eyebrows.
"Eh, a dragonkin? Whose dragonkin? Little Aili, is this yours?" Negris asked in surprise.
Naeli flew down and sniffed the child before saying disdainfully: "Yes, but I don't want this dragonkin."
"What? Why not? It's your dragonkin; you have to take responsibility for it," Negris said.
