"Was that... a failure?" Darian muttered, tense.
Death-Yin only showed up when a body was dead. But... he could feel Niara inside and realized that wasn't the case.
'The mutation...' Niara's voice sounded a little surprised. 'This is so weird... I feel... I feel...'
Suddenly, she went silent, leaving Darian even more confused.
*CRACK!*
Out of nowhere, the egg shattered completely.
Darian finally saw her physical form and was stunned. She was the size of a human baby, but... that's where the similarity ended.
She was insanely cute... looked like a mini Western dragon, with a compact, sturdy build, very different from the long, serpentine body of the Eastern dragon he had seen in the other universe.
She was covered in dark violet scales with a vibrant tone, contrasting beautifully with her small membranous wings. Her eyes, big and round, glowed with a striking celestial blue.
