They say don’t count your dragons before they hatch... I never did like to listen. 
Killian thinks I’m making a huge mistake, but my heart chose this egg... even if it’s lifeless. The hollow shell has the faintest echo of a heartbeat still inside and my magic as a dragonrider called to it, setting a bond in place. Bonds can be broken, but I refuse. There’s no question. This is my dragon, and I’m going to save it. Even if I die trying.
