Knights stood guard around a pedestal in the Castle Khalsgard, home to the kind of the land Khalsgard. On the pedestal was the King's new treasure, and egg of a creature thought to be extinct. He had just obtained the egg and could not wait to show it off to the lords of his land. As far as he knew, the egg would not hatch and was just fossilized. However someone else knew better. There was someone who knew the egg's value and that with the right warmth it would hatch. It just needed the right parent, and he was intending to do that. After he kidnapped, or rather rescued the egg from the King. Jumping into the room the egg was in via a windowless window, he landed silently as he could, a cloak hiding his appearance. However with guards making a full circle around the egg, it proved futile to try to be silent. The guards immediately moved at him, he dodge, turning their weapons on each other and themselves. He also used his own sword, a rapier to kill them as well. He couldn't leave any witnesses. When he was finished he could hear footsteps running through the halls. Apparently one had escaped and brought reinforcements...a lot of reinforcements. Grabbing the egg and wrapping it in some cloth, he leaped through the window again, the jump nothing to him, the knight's shocked faces a joy.<br/><br/>He then began running through the streets of the city, the light of dawn coming over the horizon, the egg bundled tightly to his chest. "Don't worry little one. Soon you will be able to hatch. I just need to find you the right parent," he told the egg, his voice sounding like that of our Frenchmen. He ducked into an alley, finding an alcove to hide in, waiting for the guards to pass by and the citizens to wake. He figured it was safe enough as he exited, but as luck would have it there was a guard or two waiting for him. With a smile and shrug he jumped over them and once again began running through the streets of the city.
