"Finding dragon eggs is easier," O'wain amused, noting the nearly shy tone of Casa's voice. "I expect wherries and tunnelsnakes would eat the eggs if they were lying out in the open like dragons have their eggs. Of course given the size of a dragon's egg I don't think anything other than whers would eat them. Not that any gold would let such a creature that close to her eggs."
O'wain never heard of any dragon eggs being damaged by wild whers or other predators. Nothing around big enough to get through the tough leather shell before it hardened, was his guess. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the high creeling note from the firelizard.
"Knack seems to have found something...never heard a firelizard make that noise before." O'wain stood up, peering at the firelizard curiously. The sound was almost like the sound dragons made when morning the death of one of their own. Yet the eyes of the firelizard weren't whirling in the colors associated with grief and mourning.
He walked over and looked at the four dips. "Lets check them out, wouldn't hurt and his guess is likely better than ours." Crouching down he started to uncover one of the dips. He brushed small layers away, not wanting to accidentally damage any eggs should there be some. The first dip he didn't find anything so he moved to the next one. He only moved about two inches of sand when his fingers rushed something oval. O'wain stopped, eyes widening in excitement.
"Probably just a stone...," he murmured then moved a little more sand more carefully and saw the distinct outline of an egg. O'wain let out an excited shout even as he carefully uncovered several more eggs. "I found some!"
