The Channel

Marla's search for the green dragon egg led her deep into the shadowy corners of the magical realm. She had interrogated several lesser witches and used her dark magic to track Lazo, the witch who no longer contacted her after getting a hold of the precious egg.

Lazo had been clever, using a series of decoys and misdirections to obscure his location. But Marla was relentless. She had used a combination of scrying and dark spells, tracking Lazo's magical signature through the ether. Her efforts culminated in the discovery of his lair, a secluded, ancient grotto shrouded in enchantments and protected by powerful wards.

As Marla approached the grotto, she could sense the energy of the dragon egg emanating from within. Inside, Lazo stood at the center of the chamber, a protective barrier of shimmering magic encircling him and the green dragon egg.

Marla's voice cut through the silence. "Lazo, hand over the green dragon egg. It's not yours to keep."
