'What the heck!?' Scott almost shouts out loud. 


The tiny creature seems to be growing, the fireball shape morphed into a small human. It looks like it's on fire, flames dance all over its body. Its shiny red eyes continue to stare at Scott. 


"Papa!" It exclaims, it doesn't seem to have a mouth but fire is covering most of its features. 


"Papa..?" Scott is confused. Actually, his brain has blanked. Why would an egg he found in the middle of a desert hatch and call him papa? 


"Papa!" It repeats and slowly takes a wobbly step forward. As it walks it stares at Scott who wants to run away. 


"Papa????" Scott doesn't understand what's happening, his brain can't even comprehend what the creature is doing. 


"Papa..?" The creature seems sad, its eyes droop a little while it starts slowing its pace. 


"I'm your.. 'papa'?" Scott hesitantly asks. He didn't mean to make the creature sad but he still doesn't know what's going on.
