Hydramander chapter 3

[1 day later] We are in my room and we are having some snacks and watching a movie. It’s silent in here but I don’t want to break the silence. Outside its cold and raining, inside we are warm and and cozy but Holly asks me something, she asks about the strange blue egg.

She says she footprints in the sand but yesterday we went and nothing was there. She swears she’s seen them and Holly says she is going to the beach because of it. “l’m coming too” I say because she can’t go alone.

 [10 minutes later] “Wait for me” I ask Holly “Please.” I see the footprints, I understand now what she meant, 1 path of footprints is going towards a cave, the other is pointing towards the ocean near an egg nest, and her…

 I tried to get to her but then mist swirled and all I could see was myself and the sand I tried to run, but it was too late, I was cornered. I could barely make out, a person with scaly skin, a tail and 3 heads.

 I wake up questioning what just happened “I, I saw it, the Hydramander, in my dream, I don’t know what just happened. Lets just not go to the beach Holly.”

She doesn’t listen, so I come with her. We arrive but this time we go to the cave and find the blue egg again but this time it seems fragile just like it’s mentioned on the myths but the Hydramander isn’t here. I look around to check it isn’t a trap or a fake egg but you can’t see anything that could be a trap, except a welcome rug on the entrance, it seems as you can fall through it so we take the egg. CRASH! I mutter a bad word under my breath, “Why is that so heavy? It’s says it lightweight in the myths,” I say confused. Then Holly tries to pick it up but she says it light but then we hear something, like footsteps, then a roar like a dragon’s, I ask Holly, “Is that the, the, the,”

Without letting me finish the sentence she replies”I think so,”. The sound is coming closer, and closer until we can see it right in-front of us. I try get Holly to bring the egg and come, she can’t lift it. We run…
