_Author and characters because why the hell not_

I wake up to some sort of cracking noise. I look around and my eyes zero in on the green scary dragon egg on my desk.

It’s cracking.

"Crap, crap, crap!" I jump out of bed and rush to get ready.

After I come out of the bathroom and throw on a white jersey and a blue hijab to match and baggy grey jeans. I quickly put on my lip gloss and blush before opening up the portal to Nyro — the planet of my fantasy series.

The portal is a beautiful mix of glowing pinks, blue and purples with a white outline.

I grab the egg and walk into it.

When I step out of the portal, I’m in Anastasia’s bedroom. "Ana? Davina?" I call out for her or her maid.

Davina walks out of the bathroom with a smile on her face. "Oh, Zaynab! Welcome back-"

"Alert everyone immediately," I cut her off. There’s not time for chit chat. "The egg is hatching."

After ten minutes, everyone has gathered around the egg now on Anastasia’s dressing table.

"So we’re getting a dragon?" Cyrus’s eyes light up.

Eiran replies, "We’re not getting a dragon-"

"Oh yes you are," I stand up and face him.

He looks down at me. "No, we’re not. How are we supposed to take care of a dragon? You’re taking it back with you."

"I live on earth! If I have a dragon in my possession, it’ll get killed and I’ll probably get taken by authorities to be questioned and probably worse! You’re taking it."

He narrows his eyes at me. "We are not-"

"Eiran," Anastasia cuts in. She steps forward and places a hand on his chest and he immediately softens. _I’ve written the most adorable couple_. "We’ll find a way to take care of it."

He sighs reluctantly, "Fine."

_And the most whipped man._

I nod. "Thank you."

"It’s opening!" Cyrus squeals.

"Okay, Cy," Ade puts a hand over his mouth. "Let’s not scare the poor thing, okay?"

The egg cracks one last time before it finally hatches revealing a tiny green scaly dragon inside. It slowly opens it’s neon green eyes and looks around. It tilts its head at me and Eiran.

I think I know where this is going.

I opens it’s tiny wings and flies over to me and lands on top of my head.

"Aww!" Anastasia melts. Her husband simply rolls his eyes.

"I can’t believe dragons actually exist," Valencia, Cyrus’s big sister, says, observing the interaction.

I pet the emerald skin, my fingers running over the tiny bumps.

The tiny creature leans into my touch before flying over to Eiran who, unsurprisingly, tries to avoid it like I would avoid a fly.

"Come on, Eiran," I laugh. "It won’t hurt you.. probably."

Eiran glares at me. "Probably is not good enough. Besides, I’m not afraid of it hurting me. It’s just.. unnatural."

"Dragons are all about fire like you Pyros, I would have thought you would have loved it."

That’s a complete lie. I knew Eiran would hate this.

The dragon gives up and flies over to Amadi and rests on his shoulder. Amadi glances at it before talking to me, "So, this is ours then?"

"Yep!" I smile. "All of yours! And when Clem and Alric come-"

"What do you mean when?" Eiran frowns.

Anastasia beams. "They’re coming?"

"Uh…" I forgot that that was supposed to stay a secret. "Yeah. In like.. two years."

Anastasia sighs dramatically. "Two years? Seriously?"

"I wish she would make it longer," Eiran grumbles.

"Anyway," Valencia cuts in before Ana and Eiran get into another argument about their relationship with Alric, "How did you manage to get a dragon if dragons don’t exist here in Nyro or on earth?"

"Uh.. Don’t worry about it. How I got it won’t affect you," I step forward, closer to Amadi and nuzzle my finger against the dragon’s head, "Or this little guy."

"What are we going to name it?" Ade asks, leaning against the wall behind Amadi.

"Drajôn!"

"You want to name the dragon dragon in Nyron?" I raise an eyebrow.

Cyrus nods proudly and I let out an amused huff, "Okay then, kid. Drajôn it is."
