Chapter 2: Angela and Karel

He recovered from his thoughts.

　　Looking at the eggshell in front of him, August stretched out his dragon head and buried it in the eggshell, first taking a sip of the egg liquid and then nibbling at the shell.

　　The liquid was sweet and the shell was crunchy like chips.

　　It all tasted great.

　　August began to eat the first meal of his dragon life.

　　As for other annoying things, it was better to wait until he was full.

　　....

　　The big scarlet tongue scraped the crumbs of eggshells from the floor, along with some dirt.

　　He swallowed the last of the eggshells.

　　That's not enough either.

　　The line of sight couldn't help but look at the four dragon eggs that hadn't broken their shells yet.

　　It wasn't the same dragon mother anyway, or...

　　Evil thoughts were growing frantically, and hunger was pressing.

　　The dragon's claws unconsciously kicked out and crawled towards the location of the four dragon eggs.

　　Stopping in front of the eggs and looking at the two blue, one black and one white, August stretched his head and pressed his ear to the eggs.

　　This one had a heartbeat.

　　This one doesn't.

　　This one did.

　　This one didn't.

　　He checked them one by one.

　　These four eggs, one blue and one white, have a heartbeat and the other two don't, which means they're dead eggs.

　　[ ]

　　He stretches out his claws to separate the two with a heartbeat from the one without.

　　The claws will push one dead egg out a certain distance and back.

　　In the same position, the other dead egg is also pushed out.

　　August had just done that when a new state happened.

　　"Click~"

　　Two subtle sounds rang out at the same time, especially clear in the silent cave.

　　August, whose figure was lying on a dead egg and was about to lay his hands on it, stopped his movements and the dragon's head turned to look at the two dragon eggs, one blue and one white.

　　Only to see that the tops of the shells of the two dragon eggs had cracked, and the cracks were floating up and down, the young dragon that had broken its shell obviously clinging to the top inside.

　　It was about to break its shell.

　　Not that hungry anyway.

　　Looking at the two dragon eggs that were about to break their shells, August slid down and sat down with interest, his two thick dragon legs spread wide and his tail pressed to the ground, moving in subtle movements and wiggling a little from time to time.

　　The two dragon eggs, about to break their shells, were watched with interest.

　　After that, the top of the eggshell bobbed up and down a few times.

　　"Ka-ching~"

　　With the sound, a blue dragon head with a relatively round shape, long pointed dragon kiss, small nose, eyes and ears, large eye sockets, and high eyebrow arch broke out of the eggshell.

　　"Ka-ching~"

　　Another sound, a white dragon head of the same style and different colour emerged from the white dragon egg.

　　August looked at the two young dragon heads that had just broken out of their shells, the dragon scales on them looked bright and shiny, the dragon horns on their heads were just a small bulge, and because they were young dragons, the big heads looked rounder, cute and pink.

　　Looking at these two cute guys, August couldn't help but think of himself.

　　In other words, he wouldn't look so cute and cuddly, would he?

　　Since he couldn't see his own face, August could only lower his dragon head to look at the white dragon scales on his big belly, which also looked bright and shiny.

　　Looking at the dragon scales, August already had an answer in his mind, no need to think, he and these two young dragons must be of the same model.

　　The two young dragons that had just broken their shells looked at each other and then together they looked at the red young dragon that was crouching three to four metres away.

　　At the sight of the body that was more than a circle larger than their own, the two young dragons averted their eyes, at the same time a sense of crisis rose in their hearts, they buried their heads and accelerated the speed of their shell breaking.

　　Just like August, just by looking at this nest of different coloured young dragons, they clearly realised their situation.

　　Not surprisingly, it had been stolen by a crystal dragon who had had an accident.

　　The two young dragons used their strength to pull their claws out of the eggshells first, then their bodies pushed the eggshells a little harder until half of their bodies were pushed out, and then the two young dragons lay down in the same position on the surface of the eggshells, both exhausted and almost deflated, so they had to rest for a while.

　　The eyes of the two resting dragon hatchlings had never left the red hatchling's since the beginning, their cold vertical pupils full of vigilance.

　　August crouched and sat down.

　　He noticed the wariness in the eyes of the two young dragons, but he did not care.

　　He looked at the two young dragons lying on the eggshell.

　　August was a little confused, was it that hard? When he broke the shell himself, he felt very relaxed and there was no pressure at all.

　　It was so easy to break the eggshell.

　　These two are not dragon beasts, are they?

　　There is a new speculation in my heart.

　　If they are dragonbeasts, I won't be polite.

　　Dragons never see dragonbeasts as their own kind.

　　August cracked his dragon kiss and licked the corner of his mouth with his big tongue.

　　The dragon eggs are still quite tasty, it's just that the amount is a bit small and completely insufficient.

　　Let's have a look first.

　　Let's wait until these two little guys have finished breaking their shells.

　　August decided to wait and see.

　　Seemingly having rested enough, the two young dragons continued to move.

　　They struggled and continued to shed their shells.

　　After breaking their wings and thighs, the two young dragons landed on the ground, their tails pulling out of the eggshell with the sticky egg liquid.

　　Just as they landed, the two young dragons paused together.

　　"Angela Audrey Mira", blue young dragon.

　　"Karel Andrea Edith", white young dragon.

　　The next two voices echoed through the cave.

　　Looking at the two young dragons, August had a look of regret in his eyes.

　　Not dragon beasts, but two true dragons.

　　It's a shame to lose two dragon eggs at once~

　　After instinctively shouting their true names, the two young dragons turned their heads and immediately began to eat the dragon eggs.

　　It was as if they were afraid of being robbed.

　　It looked as if they were afraid of being robbed, for a red young dragon, a size bigger than them, was watching them from the side.

　　The two young dragons feasted on the food.

　　This made August hungry.

　　Getting up from the ground, he walked over to the blue dragon egg of the two dead eggs, and the dragon's body fell onto the shell.

　　Stick~

　　An icy cold sensation came over him, it was very pleasant.

　　Looking at the dead blue dragon egg, August felt that this egg should be quite suitable to be used as an ice pack in hot weather.

　　But for now, it was the stomach that mattered.

　　The dragon's claw was raised, and a claw smacked directly down.

　　Without any resistance, the top of the eggshell was shattered.

　　Reaching through the shattered opening, the dragon's claw stirred inside for a few moments until it felt as if it had grasped something in its claws.

　　August pulled the claw out of the egg as quickly as he could, pulling a large lump of flesh with it.

　　He looked at the misshapen lump of flesh in his hand.

　　This is the stillborn baby, right? It's really ugly again.

　　Disgusted, he threw the lump of flesh to the ground.

　　The dragon's head reached into the eggshell.

　　It sucked in a mouthful of egg liquid.

　　The egg liquid flowed into his mouth and was cold, like freshly melted ice cream, slightly cool with a sweet taste.

　　He took another bite from the eggshell.

　　Cone flavour.

　　....

　　Unlike August, who ate methodically, the two young dragons ate so quickly that they could be described as wolfing it down.
