THE ELDER
FELT AN INTRUSION
THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST
IT DIDN'T LAST LONG
FOLLOWING HIS DIRECTIONS
I WENT TO THE SPOT
WHERE IT HAPPENED
AND PICKED UP A TRACE OF MAGIC
THE EGG HAD BEEN THERE
BUT IT IS THERE NO LONGER
I SHALL
CONTINUE TO SEARCH
thank you Wave
I'll check in later
the woman nodded
and disappeared
into the water
she is a mer-person
I thought they only lived
in oceans
they live in a lot of places
are you fey
you feel like many things
I can't pinpoint what you are
and where are you taking me now
I'm hungry
you can eat at a time like this
I can eat anytime
and what happens
if the egg hatches here
you make it sound as if we are
chickens
hey, if the shell fits
How are you still alive
he mumbled
are you asking
or are you just talking to yourself again
and who would take an egg
assuming it was in the lake
and what if someone ate it and...
ate it
it could happen
the dragon closed his eyes
there are few of us left
the egg is precious
it must be returned
that's when she noticed the crows
filling the trees and flying around
her car
she pulled over and said
stay here
I'll be right back
she walked across the street
and held out her arms
crows
and a few ravens
landed on her
what's up guys
the crows cawed
and bobbed up and down
they snapped their beaks
and a few pulled at several strands
of her hair
they cackled
and twittered
for a bit
then the birds took off
and she got back into the car
friends of yours
yes
good friends
who said
the egg is still in the water
hopefully unhatched dragons
breath underwater
they can
but I don't know
for how long
how do you feel about
veggie burgers
I'm a carnivore
not today dragon
