He saw a pair of golden eyes, very light gold, shallow more like sunlight than gold...... Like the sun leaking through the new branches and leaves on a bright spring day.

The little dragon, who still had a few pieces of broken eggshells on his head, looked at him with wide eyes, his eyes as pure and ignorant as a newborn human baby. It screamed, trying to get out of its shell, its scales changing color in the air, like a rainbow of light flowing by, and finally settled on a pale silver that was almost white, the color of an ice dragon.

Ed looked at it in a trance, as if he had seen a tiny Iss that he couldn't have seen. If Isis had broken out of its shell like an ordinary dragon, it would have been like this, with its small, delicate horns, short neck and round belly, and its almost transparent wings that could only flutter feebly, not allowing it to stay in mid-air......

The moment it fell out of the eggshell, he reached out his hands faster than anyone else and caught it steadily.

The chubby and somewhat clumsy little dragon was surprisingly light. It tried to stand up, but its thin limbs could not support its body, and when it fell back into Ed's palm, it seemed to be at a loss for a moment before ceasing to struggle, calmly clumping itself together and beginning to lick the remaining slime on its body.

Like a cat Ed thought.

His heart seemed to turn into a puddle of water. He didn't know that the corners of his mouth were cracked to his ears. He carefully held the new, old dragon and looked around ostentatiously, as if it were his cub.

"You are a child of the stars. Ed whispered to it, not caring if it understood.

"This is the ancestor of all dragons, the child of the stars. Ed raised his head and told everyone, "The dragon created the sun and the moon with its eyes, and protected the world with its life, and now its bones lie alone under the eternal night at the end of the world, and I have seen her on the other side of the darkness, and I have spoken to her soul, and I swear that there is not a word of lie I have spoken...... We can't hurt it. ”

In reality, however, no one tried to take it from him, much less to hurt it. The appearance of Isis has unwittingly changed many things, and now, even in Sean's eyes, the dragon born in front of his eyes is not a symbol of evil, just a small and innocent ...... Miraculous life.

The little dragon was attentive, and soon licked itself clean, and with a satisfied snort, began to work again, and at last staggered to its feet, tilting its head and looking at everyone curiously.

Then it flapped its wings so hard that it managed to fly, and slammed into Scott's chest, its tiny claws firmly gripping at his clothes, and hanging itself there.

Ed glanced at his empty palm, and silently withdrew his hand, knowing very well what the sourness in his heart was.

Because of jealousy.

He had heard that animals that emerge from their shells always think of their parents as the first thing they see...... So is that fake? Or are dragons just different from other animals?

He was almost a little indignant. Although he also understood that Scott probably had a stronger, dragon-like aura...... But he still has the breath of the stars on him!

He almost wanted to pull out the dice again, and struggled to stop his childish move.

In any case, it does not belong to him.

The little dragon was looking up at Scott, and Scott was looking down at it in silence. When it began to climb up his clothes, he unconsciously reached out and held it until it fell on his shoulder, staring proudly.

Ed found another excuse for his "betrayal", and Scott was the tallest of the five here...... And dragons probably like to stay in high places by nature?

"Okay. Filly scratched his head and asked a very practical question, "What now?"

Of course, they can't snatch such a small dragon like they snatch an egg that has no life but strength.

Ed looked at Scott, and everyone looked at Scott. The dragon seemed to be willing to stay with him, and even the "god" who had not yet entered this world might not harm the little kindred...... But can he really take it?

Scott made a decision quickly. He raised his hand to grab the little dragon on his shoulder, but his fingers unconsciously lingered on the cold, smooth scales for a few moments. Then he gently lifted it up, ignoring its disgruntled screams, and put it back in Ed's hand.

"Give it to Is. He said.

That's certainly the best way to do it. Even if Isis himself is still a "baby dragon", one dragon will always know better how to raise the other.

"What about you...... What about it?" Ed asked in a whisper.

He knew that many of the things Scott had done were out of his own hands. If he doesn't complete the task...... What kind of punishment will he receive?

"It was an accident. Scott replied, "Even 'it' shouldn't have expected it." ”

He seemed to be more and more like a living person the longer he stayed with the others, and he seemed almost normal at this point.

"But 'it' always wants you to have it in your hands, right?" asked Ed.

"If 'it' is destined to have this world," Scott couldn't help but scratch the chin of the little dragon that was still writhing and squeaking unhappily, "it will be 'it' sooner or later." I just need to make 'it' believe this. ”

“...... It's so tiring to hear you guys coming and going like this. Fili said.

Scott actually smiled at him.

Fili was stunned: "...... the hell you"

"It's time for me to go. Scott interrupted him and turned to Icabard, "Open the door...... Or I'll smash it again myself. ”

Icabold slowly withdrew his gaze.

While everyone was staring at the dragon, he was the only one looking at the pool. Only now did the others react, and the eggshell that had fallen into the water disappeared without a trace as if it had melted, and there was a faint silver glow in the pool of clear water.

“...... Open the entrance. Sean said wearily, "Let him go." ”

"You ......" Filly eagerly grabbed it, but couldn't.

Scott is no longer where he is.

"Do what you feel you should do. He said, "Don't hesitate because of me...... I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing, I'm just ...... is unwilling to admit defeat like this. ”

“...... Wait!" Filly yelled angrily, "You make it clear for me!"

But behind Scott, the air was already spinning, and outside the entrance that gradually opened was a dimly lit passage in the temple...... It's where Ed was thrown in.

As Isse lunged in, Scott nimbly turned sideways and brushed him by.
