An ominous cloud hung over the nest as the wizard's raven struggled to bring her egg into the world. The wizard's greedy eyes shone with pleasure as an abnormally large egg tumbled into the nest. He picked it up, roughly examining it. The mother raven couldn't do anything to stop the man from running off to sell her egg in the black market, but as she died, she lay a curse upon the egg. If she could not have it, she would ensure it would have a good owner...
The egg sat in an aura of ominous feelings. The wizard felt pensive and frightened as he called out to pedestrians to offer on the egg. "Mighty fine egg here, big and strong!" His greedy eyes shone, but then he coughed blood. A knife through his heart, they say. Stolen by a girl wearing dirty rags and not much else.
The girl rocked the egg, feeling none of the ominous feelings. She whispered to it, "I'll treat you good, I will. Not like that terrible oaf selling you for a few steel shinies." Somewhere within the egg, the creature rocked happily. Then...
The girl was stroking the egg, polishing it with her rags. Then terrible men clothed in black came and wrenched the egg from her hands. The left her in the corner of a warehouse, and the egg could sense her dying spirit. The girl whispered something only the egg could hear. "Find a good home.." Then she drew her last breath and lay still.
The egg sat in the filthy shop, still awaiting a kind caretaker. All the unworthy died the moment they attempted buying it. Somewhere within the shell, its eyes opened. She is near.

Is the owner really near? I hope so, because the story refers to me! [/shot] xD
