Eon hesitated, then set it there.

Darius
Darius picked up Eon, and flew back to his cave, more slowly this time.

Eon kept checking the eggs, worry on his face.

Darius
Soon, they arrived, and Mara swarmed Eon as Darius passed the eggs.

Eon smiled and hugged her quickly before racing out. he came back later with a large nest, and set all the eggs in them, the cracked one shaking.

Darius
Darius recalled Ash and Myra.

Ash flew in and smiled at Eon, and Myra ran in a few minutes later.

the egg shook more, and more cracks spread.

Darius
Darius got out a knife, one with a blade of green crystal, and passed it to Eon, saying, "I was going to give this to you later, but this seems like an appropriate time.

Eon took it. *whats it for?*

Darius
"Beryl?" Darius said, and the knife lifted from his hand, floated toward the ground, and became a small, green dragon. "Beryl is Garnet's sister, and wants to help protect your brood."
