“His Majesty would also like to present you with a gift to commemorate this happy occasion." With a slight bow and a sweep of a hand, he stepped out of the way as the guard behind him advanced forward, holding a wicker basket containing a stylised nest. In it were several clear crystal carvings, glass sculptures inlaid with delicate golden thread to accent its features, scale mountains, a simulated waterfall, and a pair of stylised griffons. However, the prize of the little scene was an egg slightly smaller than Handy's fist. It was yellow, the top half at least, while the bottom was a blazing bright orange that reached up like licking tongues of flame.
