Alaric's egg, which was left undisturbed, suddenly shivered a bit. The shivering grew along with the shadow of the room.
The egg stopped as the room was cloaked in darkness once again. The shadow retreated as a crack appeared on the egg. With each second, the crack grew all around the egg.
Reaching every corner of the egg, the crack stopped. Having its duty fulfilled, the egg disappeared from existence, leaving a pool of shadow on the ground.
Gaining consciousness, the shapeless, formless shadow moved as it tried to assume a shape. Strengthening itself, the shadow solidified, but before it could do anything, it dissolved into a pool of shadow once again.
He tried to do it once more, but the same thing happened. The shadow was finding it hard to assume a shape. It was hard, but the shadow was learning the way with each failure.
