My head is spinning, the world is suddenly turning, and with it, my body starts shaking.

No—not my body, the ground beneath it.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

All under me is cracks, and soon enough I’m going to fall and no one will ever know.

As the ground starts to open up to take me in… I… I—

I wake up.

My eyes adjust to my surroundings as I take in the warmth coming from the campfire.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

Wait—why do I still hear that sound?

I look around, searching for the reason why I’m on the run. Then, when my eyes finally find it, I feel relief that only lasts for a moment—

as I realize I’m in so much trouble.

The dragon egg that everyone is after is cracking.

And now I’m in more danger than before.
