Playing God, Just A Little

Alister's eyes lit up with interest at Terra's sudden mention of the egg.

"That crystal-like egg?"

"A connection, you say?" he asked, his gaze narrowing. "What exactly do you mean?"

Terra spoke up saying. "My lord. With the Heart in my possession, I can sense the presence of all our kin… even their unique auras. It's as if every dragon's essence is now a thread that I can touch and influence."

Alister's brow lifted, intrigued. "And you're certain you feel a connection to the egg we found?"

She nodded firmly, her eyes locked on his with steady confidence. "I am certain. Among the dragons I can sense, each one carries a distinct aura—a kind of energy radiating from their bodies like flames. But this egg… it feels different, unlike any I've sensed before."

"Different? How so?"
