It was PapaWinter's night and the Lyons family was all gathered around the tree. Kate was shocked to see a gold wrapped package that was large and round. Kate had been warned not to shake it. The present bobbled in her hands as she unwrapped it. Kate tore off the wrapper and gaped at the sapphire blue and white sparkled egg. The mage turned to her father, look what Aunt Malora sent a large egg. "I know what this is. The have a dragon nurserey at school. Can I keep it. My very own dragon."<br/>Lord Lyons was sitting across from Kate he sighed, "Yes Katie, you may keep it. That is going to be a lifetime commitment."<br/>Kate sat the egg on the wrapper it began to quiver and rock back and forth. "What timing it's hatching. Come look."<br/>The family gathered around the egg as Ann placed in gently in a wooden crate filled with quilt batting and two hand towels. She brought a large bowl of warm water and a small sponge. It will be a few hours. It will be hungry. I will prepare chicken bites and some fruit along with a small bowl of water. Katie it will be wet and cold. You can wrap it up in a small shawl with your scent. I will make it a bed from the cradle in the attic."<br/>Johnathan left the room and rummaged in the attic for the cradle and play pin. He found a red ball, some stuffed animals, and wooden blocks. "You think these toys will do?"<br/>Kate helped him, "The are perfect. Dragons are very intelligent and need thing to play with. I can read it stories Ann read to us about the dragon ancestors. It will be fun to take outside and play with. I forgot dragons like shiny things and a jingle bell, a crystal on a silver chain would be nice."<br/>Ann added to the crib a medium size blue crystal ball.<br/>Lyons added a gold pendent of a two headed fox. "It will belong to the House of Lyons."
