Deep in one of the crumbling abandoned towers of DragonSpyre in a granite chamber, Sherlock Bones and the others waited to apprehend the scoundrel that had stolen the drake egg. Indeed, the scoundrel would get the fright of his life when he lifted the door latch to step into the small chamber.

Sherlock’s nose wrinkled at the scent of molten lava which indicated Boris Blackrose was near. Boris often worked with Sherlock, he was brave, obeyed orders well and, if need arose, possessed vast strength.

“Please find a place and light,” Sherlock growled at the Spectre. His neck fur rose every time the Spectre came close, he had little liking for the undead. The dead should remain dead and not scare the heck out of small pups.

Milo Barkers big booming voice filled the granite chamber. “All eggs are special but this little one may be the one to unite the Spiral and all of its citizens. Its breeding and talents are impeccable.” He patted the egg briefly his hand not lingering long enough to risk joining.

Dr. Purreau began another examination of the egg speaking while Mr. Lincoln recorded his findings. “The chamber’s thick stone walls has maintained an adequate temperature so it appears the delicate egg is in purrfect shape. Keep that water bucket near in case the temperature rises.”

Cyrus Drake was doing his usual pacing, slapping his wand on his leg at each stride. He glared at Sherlock. “Who would have the audacity to steal such an important egg? Tell us who did this deed and we will make quick work of him.”

It became quite apparent they were cleverly protecting someone whom they trusted. The wizards of the Spiral had repeatedly failed to stop Malstaire and he was becoming more powerful each day, so the dragons devised a brilliant plan to protect the last hope for a peaceful Spiral. They instructed Sarai and her fellow students to hide the egg, but what they failed to calculate was the carelessness of wizard students.”

Sarai added. “Yes, they were hoping that Malstaire would think it was a common theft for gain.”

Dr. Purreau excitedly meowed, “The egg is cracking, come close Sarai Skyblade so the little one can see and welcome you.”

All turned to witness the beginning of a new era for the worlds of the Spiral.
