"Veledra, why are you still holed up in your egg?"
"Huh? Where did you get so many Elemental Crystals?"
The Blue Dragon Sindasa flew over for a look. His little sister was already ready to hatch, but for some reason, she was stubbornly staying inside her egg.

Sindasa couldn't think of anyone besides Medivh who could have
