The cave walls gleam wet in the half-light, streaked with fresh blood. The fallen beast lies steaming at your feet. As your ragged breathing slows, another sound cuts the silence: a sharp crack. An egg splits open. From it emerges a tiny, horned head. Dark, curious eyes blink up at you. Unsteady claws scrape stone as she crawls closer, until her warm, scaly body bumps and rubs against your legs. A deep, resonant purr vibrates up through the rock beneath you. you… what name will you give her?
