Wren left the egg under the boulder and walked away, telling himself it was for the best. But ten steps down the road, a tiny, heartbroken squeak stopped him cold. He turned around and ran back. He could not leave it to die alone.

The egg hatched in his hands as he reached the boulder. A small dragon wriggled free and gripped his thumb tight. Wren smiled, ashamed he had ever thought of leaving. From that moment he swore he would protect it, no matter the cost.
