Valerie… Do you want to know what the most annoying thing in the world is, having two sisters who now own two dragon creatures while all your left with is a large egg barely moving to indicate its aliveness? My sister, Lady Aquamarine, who hadn’t felt any compelling need to bond with her dragon seems to be having a non-stop mental conversation with the miniature-sized creature like what the dragon might be chatting about is the most fascinating thing in the world. Do I sound bitter and envious? Of course, I f*****g do. No one likes feeling left out. “You don’t need to pout, soon enough yours will hatch.” Came the voice of Aurora’s foster mother, my aunt. Glancing over, I roll my eyes and left out a long sigh. Grumbling beneath my breath. “I’m not pouting.” “Sure, you’re not.”
