The Ancient Beast

The mama frog looked into the nest where she had left her egg, her beloved egg which she had been raising this entire time, for hundreds of years… only to end up with nothing there.
The egg she could swear to have seen right here was gone! Completely gone! If there was someone with the power to steal it, she would had already sensed its powerful presence and had rushed back in an instant, but the thief had some kind of ability… some kind of ability that allowed it to actually hide its presence and conceal itself to not be easily discerned by her.
