First Crack

Kunshiya went back to his palace with annoyance and rage, he was lenient and gentle with her because one of the eggs died and even went out on his way to make her feel better by suggesting going to a new place so she can slowly forget her troubles and sorrows over the lost egg but she only treated his edicts like a child’s joke.

What the hell!!

At the moment he couldn’t even bring himself to sympathize with her because he felt that his pride and dominion were crushed. “Bring the silver egg” he bellowed at the nearest palace attendance. It’s already weeks after the green egg demise, the culprits are not caught yet, kunshiya wants them to be caught as soon as possible if not for anything maybe it will ease lady Salsa’s grieve.

The green egg death was really surprising and it’s just a few weeks when they are brought to the palace. Kunshiya didn’t know whether to be happy that the kukulkan who was prophesied that will be powerful more than him is dead or he should be sad that he lost an offspring that will be powerful and will bring great merits to the kingdom, maybe the other egg also felt it's siblings because it hasn’t been responding to his magic essence and if it didn’t. It might come out weak.

Even if its other siblings were the kukulkan and it’s left on its own, he should help the other egg to be strong. The royal attendant entered the palace bringing the silver egg with him. It was a bit shiny but everyone can see that the magical essence in it was dimming. Kunshiya Kun inspected the eggs and was sad about the diminishing of their essence. “Everyone leave” he commanded then he transferred numerous essence to the silver egg, slowly its silver shell brightened and its glow embraced the whole palace for a few minutes till it assimilated all the magical essence.

When kunshiya saw the improvement he was happy and temporarily forgot about his rage. It won’t be long until it hatches and it will need a progenitor. Kunshiya doesn’t even know how to say it to Lady Salsa, considering her grieves for the green egg she should be willing to be the progenitor of her other egg right? Progenating for dragons means the death of another dragon of which the next descendants will inherit its progenitor’s memory, abilities, and other resemblances.

Sometimes the new dragon may possess another ability together with one of its progenitors but the cases are very few from the last decades. The guards that brought Lady Salsa to the palace said she’s a strange and meek dragon, but Kunshiya Kun knew it’s probably from heating the hatchling. They were two eggs and one of them was the kukulkan egg she must have used almost all of her magic essence.

When he left her palace just now, he could see that the battle between her and the chief guard was intensive and for someone to go head-on with his chief guard then she’s a strong dragon. Hopefully, the silver dragon will be strong like its progenitor and it won’t be bullied by another dragon. Dark clouds covered the entire sky, vague thunder penetrated the sky like bolts. It felt like the sky was ready to fall from the sky and break into pieces, it was several months after the demise of the green egg and Lady Salsa's disobedience.

Lady Salsa's restriction was lifted a week ago and she had been gloomier than before, she lost all the happiness and gentleness of her former self. Kunshiya Kun couldn’t do anything to improve her mood because he knew she’d have to pregenite soon and affections between them might restrain her from progenitive for their eggs. Kunshiya kun kept his distance from her and focused on heating the silver egg with his magic essence. “Hmm, nice” Kunshiya kun looked at the Silver egg as he praised it, it's body is now shining and glowing as it should, unlike some months back.

He knew it might not be that strong but with him here, let see who will dare bully his offspring! Boom! A loud shriek could be heard coming from the egg. Kunshiya kun moved back because he thought he had released too much magic essence to the egg. Some minutes later a tiny crack could be seen on the shell, which shows the beginning of life( Dragon first crack). “Servants!” He called. Thump, thump, the head eunuch who was waiting by the door heartbeats after than usual, the king is always in a bad mood when he’s with the Royal egg.

What was that loud sound earlier?

Did nothing happen to the Royal egg right? His heart couldn’t help but palpitate. He quickly entered with his assistant so as not to add to the Dragon king fury. “Call all the officials for an important meeting, anyone that can make it should just bring his resignation paper” He decreed “Yes, My King” The head Eunuch replied and quickly left when he couldn’t read his king’s expression. Scary! The dragon king is so scary! The head eunuch immediately assigned some fast dragons to relay the decree.

It wasn’t long when all the officials assembled themselves in front of the king. His face was solemn, void of any emotions that almost all the officials couldn’t raise their heads.

What is it again this time?

Since the demise of the green Royal egg and the soldier's inability to arrest the murderers, the king's mood changed from his normal approachable self to a cold-blooded king.

He delivered all his judgment now with mercy, even a little mistake doesn’t escape his eyes. They’ve been living on an iced floor and tiptoeing with their feet because any mistake might risk their officialdom.

“My dear officials.” Kunshiya Kun finally started talking when he saw that everyone was present and they were paying attention. He wants all concentration on him.
