"Is it going to hatch?" Han Sen wondered as he fingered the gourd. At this strange moment, the gourd was having some sort of reaction; whether that was good or bad had yet to be determined.
If a super creature did end up jumping out of the gourd, there was no certainty over its allegiance. Only after it emerged would it become apparent whether it was a friend or foe.
Han Sen waited a while as the gourd continued to beat with the rhythm of a heart, but there didn't seem to be any cracking.
The Purple Mountain, meanwhile, became brighter and brighter. When the day Moment Queen calculated for the golden chests to mature rolled around, the bright light made the sky look like pure gold. It was a stunning sight.
"I think the fruit is maturing. Should we check it out?" Moment Queen asked Han Sen, as she observed the gold light.
Just as Han Sen was about to speak, he saw a crane flying through the air towards Moment Shelter.
