Runes (2)

Ezra hastily excused himself and escaped to his cultivation chamber, where he searched inside his ring, his eyes widening in the process.

The object causing a ruckus was the snake's egg.

Honestly, he'd been wondering if something was wrong with it.

Now, his worries were quelled as the egg shook.

'So…it's about to hatch'

He brought it out and placed it in front of him.

He expected it to break out soon.

But…

'What is this?'

The egg became still, like nothing had happened.

Ezra held his chin in contemplation, then placed it back in the ring and began observing it.

Something fantastic happened as particles of mana were pulled from the mana stones and entered the egg.

'Oh!'

Slowly but surely, more threads coalesced and poured into the egg.

It was an interesting phenomena. The thing in the egg was drawing in mana. He wondered…

'Is this why it hasn't hatched all this while?'

What was most incredible was an unborn beast controlling mana so masterfully.
