Inside of the Adventurer's Guild.
The Guild was buzzing with people chatting, filling out papers, and checking mission boards when suddenly the main doors swung open and silence spread like a wave as every eye turned to see a dirt-covered boy step inside, his cloak slightly torn, mud on his boots, scratches on his cheeks—and in his arms, a massive beast egg twice the size of a normal one, resting carefully on the counter in front of the wide-eyed receptionist.
A few adventurers gasped loudly, one even dropping their drink as the receptionist just stood frozen, her mouth half-open, not even reaching for her stamp, just staring at the egg .
Axelius leaned on the counter, completely ignoring the stares, and smiled innocently while brushing a leaf off his shoulder, "Hi. I'd like to report a successful quest."
The receptionist blinked twice, still unable to process anything, while the crowd behind started murmuring in shock.
"Is that a… no way, that's a skyclaw egg?"
