Chapter 1: egg (work in progress)

Sounds of large creatures fight as dark clouds form around them flooding the sky. down below the clouds the sound of thunder striking and the pitter patter of heavy rain on a river ring out causing it to flood and as it floods, it peels a layer off the surrounding dirt to reveal a green egg with scales before carrying and sweeping it down into the now raging river.

Bobbing up and down the surface of the river the egg narrowly dodges large pointed branches and protruding rocks before getting caught in a thick bushet of river reeds.

A small fishing village not to far away from the eggs location men and women can be seen filling sacks and digging trenches to stop the water from reaching nearby crops of whimwick.

"WE NEED MORE BAGS OF SAND OVER HERE!!" a large man shouts as drops two sandbags onto a partially built wall that is already redirecting the rivers water.

"Sieg we are running out of bags you're going to have to start just piling the dirt" a skinny man shouts back in reply

"...by the shaper" the large man named sieg mutters under his breath before yelling out another order for the nearby men and women "you heard the mayor those of you who don't have a shovel grab one and start digging". After a long day of shoveling dirt to block the rivers advances the river finally dies down and the dark clouds above disperse giving the small fishing village and its inhabitants a chance to breathe

The egg resting on the river reeds slowly descends with the sun onto a now dry dirt bank as the sun's rays drys its outer shell and after a few slow moments the egg shakes as the sound of music can be heard in the background.

"Aurora where are you going?" a snotty fat kid says as he wipes his nose on his sleeve

"im just going to see if anything good washed up, remember that last time i found a silver drend and we got to eat bezeberries"

Steve's note section

the currency is drend going:

small copper drend => copper drend => silver drend => gold drend => Golden tiel (varies depending on which emperor is displayed on the tiel)

whimwick, is a wheat like plant were you can get grains from the top for eating and use the stems in a poultice for healing and recovery 

bezeberry , think a strawberry but blue and the size of an apple
