The humans were safe.
Bane sucked the poison as fast as she could from every individual. When she heard me announce that the egg was about to hatch, she suddenly sped things up.
From her own mouth, she said she didn't want to miss the egg hatching event. There was a saying that she believed dragon babies would call the first thing they see their mother.
She wanted to be the dragon's mother.
I was so relieved the egg didn't hatch immediately. That would have made me the dragon's mother because I was holding it and no one else was near me.
But now we were left to wait.
After dealing with the slime monster, we made ourselves comfortable inside an abandoned apartment.
Toko and Sab went on a food hunt while it left the rest of us to guard the egg.
We set it up on the table in the small kitchen, and Bane hadn't left its side. She probably didn't even blink in case she missed the hatching.
