It was the morning of my 18th birthday and the most important day of my life. For today is the day that my egg would hatch.
You see, on the planet Phalanx when a human is born, the planet plants an egg in their's neck. And when they reach 18 they are taken to the top of the closest of the 54 equally spaced sacred mountains around the world. Once there they are given a cup of the Luck Slime that is excreted from the mountains at noon every day. This special slime is impossible to consume more than once in one's life, due to the fact that if you do you will die. The slime has the ability to awaken the egg in their neck. The slime enters their body by being ingested, and is then fed to the egg by the body to give it life. Roughly one hour after consumption, the egg will exit the person's neck through their mouth. The egg will hatch minutes after leaving the body. The color of the egg determines the abilities of the creature:
Red - Fire
Blue - Water
Green - Earth
Gray/Silver - Air
White - Life/Light/Power
Black - Death/Space/Abyss
Everything went as expected for me in till I got to the top of the mountain because once I arrived. I drank some water from the clear and clean pond outside the temple that seemed to shimmer with a dim golden light before going in, and in doing so I started my adventure. After having a small drink I went inside to receive the slime.
Once inside I was greeted by my older cousin Jack who ran this temple and just happened to be my favorite and most trusted member of my family.
"David! How are you?"
"I'm fine Jack."
We met in the center of the room and shook hands.
"Here for your egg are you not?"
"Yes Sir I am"
He nodded thoughtfully and reached into his monk's robe and removed a clear jar with golden-hued liquid inside. He handed it to me and started to lead me to a cot by the wall and in doing so said, "After you drink all of this you will lie here in till the egg comes out and hatches"
I drank the liquid in a surprisingly short amount of time, and went to lie down when Jack grabbed me and made me look into his eyes before he gave me this warning "Now that you have had the slime you must never drink any more from the temples or from the pond of slime by this temple because if you do you will die!". But by the time he finished I had already fallen asleep because of the effects of the slime and can't be woken up until a minute or two before the egg comes out.
About an hour later I woke up and nobody was in sight so I stayed laying down due to the numbness in my throat and not seconds later I feel the urge to vomit and do so and what happens is not natural because once the egg came out I couldn't stop vomiting and a minute later to my amazement a second one came out. The first was pure white and shaped like a dragon egg with spikes and scales and also seemed to emit light, while the second one was pure black shaped the same as the other one and seemed to absorb light. Immediately after seeing my two eggs I grabbed them, shoved them into my backpack, and ran all the way back down the mountain to my home.
By the time I got home and looked into my backpack they had begun hatching. So I set them on the bed and watched and waited.
The white one hatched first a witch was to be expected since that was the one that came out first. I immediately felt a connection with it and saw that it was a she and she had already named herself Eris. Not minutes later the black egg hatched and out came Eris's black twin. I immediately sensed a connection with her as well. She told me that her name was Anna, and that she is thankful to be alive.
"Why are you thanking me for your life?"
'If you didn't drink two batches of luck slime, I wouldn't be here, I would have had my egg crushed by Eris's.'
"Oh, well in that case your welcome." I said confused.
"Hey girls, would you rather I communicate by words, by thought, or by both?"
'Thought' they said in unison. Startled by their coherent unison, I fell backwards out of my chair and hit my head on the floor.
"Owwwww" I said groaning while Eris jumped down and blew blue flames at my head. Somehow I knew that the flames wouldn't hurt me so I stayed still and within seconds my head didn't hurt any more. I also felt a little more in tune with my surroundings as well as with Eris. The most surprising thing was that the sensation didn't go away. I got up and started turning through the Monster Manual by Harley Winkle, it was the last thing my older brother gave me before he left to hunt beasts.
'Eris, are you a medic-white?'
'No.'
'What about a light-white?'
'No.'
'So you are an energy-white?'
'No.'
'Then what are you?'
'All.' She said smugly.
'B-but that's impossible!'
'As impossible as two eggs?'
'I guess your right.'
I start flipping through the book to the black-monster section.
'It says here that there are three types of black'
'Anna, are you a executioner-black?'
'No.'
'What about a shadow-black?'
'No.'
'So you are an spatial-black?'
'No.'
'Don't tell me you are also all of them?'
'As a matter of fact, I am.' she said as smugly as Eris.
'Damn just how lucky am I to have such powerful beasts?'
' 'We have intelligence David. Remember that.' '
'I will, I promise.' I said in a sort of apologetic way
'It's getting late, and since I don't want both of you taken away for experiments by the government I think that we should be training at night. Also if I do end up going to a populated area I will take both of you. On the one condition that both of you will have to decide who will permanently be my companion abroad, an who will have to hide in my backpack while we are abrod. The only catch is that until both, and I mean both of you, are powerful enough to protect yourselves, I will not let both of you be out and about, only the one who you decide.
'You know, it is getting late and today is your first day alive, so I think that we should sleep it off tonight and think about it in the morning. Come on.'
I stood up and went over to my bed and motioned to my nightstands on either side of the bed.
'You will have to sleep on the bed side tables if you hurt me while I'm sleeping. But until then you may sleep in my bed with me if you want.'
They both jumped up onto the bed and cuddled up next to me befpre falling asleep.
"Good night girls."
' 'Good night David' '
