Ezekiel traveled back to the place where he was supposed to go last night before feeling Katelina's whirlwind of emotions. It was the cave where he intended to destroy the dragon egg, having learned from the witch's memories that it was supposed to hatch that night after a successful ritual.
He landed outside the cave, shifted into his human form, and walked inside. He knew he might already be too late, but he clung to a glimmer of hope. When he reached the spot where the egg was supposed to be, he let out a heavy sigh.
[It hatched already. A black dragon,] Khal commented, observing the metallic shell fragments scattered around.
Ezekiel growled, looking around. The place reeked of dark magic, and an unsettling presence lingered in the area.
