William rushed through the crowded streets, dodging around festival goers as he tried to make it out of town before anyone realized he was gone from his post and came after him. As a knight in training, he wasn't allowed to leave his post, and he was even less allowed to steal the things he was guarding, which is exactly what he had done and the reason for his rush to leave as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>He'd been assigned to guard the main event of this year's summer festival, a large dragon that had been brought in from the mountains to be fought and killed by the towns older knights. He'd done this job for a few days before he noticed the dragon was much less fierce than he had expected it to be. In fact it mostly seemed depressed, curled up in a corner of the huge cage it was kept in. It was only when the creature was led away to battle that he realized why; it had eggs. He felt bad for the mother dragon and the now likely doomed eggs, so he did perhaps what was the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life; he'd loaded them into his bag and left while everyone else was occupied with the battle.<br/><br/>Leaving was going well, he'd yet to be noticed, only there was one big problem; he had no idea how to care for dragon eggs if he did get away, and he didn't know who he could ask either.
