Garuda

Bang!

There was a muffled sound as the egg cracked before shattering. The eggshell shards splashed around before pausing mysteriously as they were sucked back to the thumb-sized entity that crawled out of the host's mouth.

The eggshell shards flew towards it, latching onto its body at various locations, turning into an armour of sorts that protected all its vital locations. Some of them dissolved like water, forming a coating over the forearm of the wings, making them stronger.

Chirp!

Larna stared in a daze before shaking her head, muttering in shock, "What…just happened?"

The tiny creature had now turned still. Before, the moment it hatched, Larna felt her consciousness getting sucked into the creature. And it was in that state did she instinctively suck in the exploding eggshell shards and formed a coating over the creature's body with them.
