Demon Birthday: 06/06/06
Commotion rode through Lantessama Isle like wildfire. Eggs had mysteriously
appeared in the dark caves and rumours were spreading about what they might
hold. Bets were placed about whether it was a new project from Donriven who'd
been having difficulties finding candidates for his shadow dragons, or that
Lucas had messed up his seasons and had accidentally made Halloween dragons
before they were due. Or maybe Evilness and Wickedness had finally gotten
their hands on some exotic evil eggs they were now going to hatch and hadn't
bothered with finding an appropriate hiding place. Or maybe smugglers had
been in need to drop their load of illegally captured eggs and had been
coincidentally right at the opening of Lantessama in the Elsewhere. Maybe
the eggs even came from creatures within the endless void of stairways,
corridors and tubes that connected the whole of the universe and it's
dimensions. Maybe it was even a sign of the apocalypse (though no-one took
that rumour serious).
Donriven, meanwhile, was checking the eggs and breaking his head as to why
these had appeared overnight. He wasn't taking the rumours too serious since
the eggs showed no signs of having travelled through the darkness. He knew
he hadn't meddled with them. So who had done it?
"It's a mystery." Lucas said, gleefully happy like a child, "Just as much as
how the Easter bunnies get the Easter eggs here."
"Are you still talking about that?" Cyan asked annoyed.
"Maybe this is an even bigger mystery." Lucas shrugged, "How did they get
here?"
"Someone on the Isle made them." Donriven answered, "I'm certain of it."
"Who besides you would have this fascination with darkness?" Lucas asked
again, getting no answer this time. They checked egg after egg until they
were certain that all of them were in remarkably good condition.
"Whoever did it, is very skilled with genetics, that's for sure." Donriven
said.
Clueless, the two men started to work again while Cyan and Trix were busy
writing up forms and announcements to send to other places in the Elsewhere,
where someone might want to adopt one of these eggs.
When the men were so enthralled by the eggs that they didn't even notice
their spouses anymore, Cyan turned to Trix and asked, "How long will
it take them to realise this was your doing?"
"At the current rate, forever." Trix answered, "Apparently my image doesn't
include mad scientist who likes to splice genes and create dark things."
"People should know better, you let Donriven have his way. it's a big clue."
Cyan mused, "So why did you put the eggs in the Dark Caverns when the
Holiday Caverns were empty."
"It'll teach Donriven not to forget my birthday." Trix smirked.
Cyan laughed and continued on the forms.
