Neither the hatchling's expression nor the baby's was particularly clear, but Danyla knew they had smiled at each other.
Then, under the youngest child's eager gaze, the hatchling climbed straight onto Danyla's arm and wrapped his tail around the wrist of the baby in her arms.
Danyla distinctly felt the magical energy within her youngest child grow stronger.
"It seems this comet really did come for the triplets!"
The other two hatchlings followed close behind the white one, landing on Danyla's shoulders one after another. Their warm bodies, hard scales, and sharp claws scraped painfully against her skin.
Everything that had happened during Danyla's delivery had left Viserys and Daemon somewhat numb. By now, no matter what marvel befell them, it seemed perfectly ordinary.
They were just like the legendary figures from the Age of Heroes, though outsiders might dismiss such stories as nothing more than distorted rumors. So the two hurried to the third impact crater to see what other surprises awaited them.
Unfortunately, all that remained in the third crater were the shattered pieces of a pitch-black Dragon Egg, two or three times the size of an ordinary one.
Clearly, the hatchling that had emerged from this egg was extraordinary, so Viserys and Daemon immediately began combing the surrounding area.
