It's best to keep it four paragraphs. I am sorry if this goes against how you usually write things but I must keep the rules the same for everyone.

This goes for other stories as well. It must not go over four paragraphs otherwise I will not count it. I know this may seem limiting but it just takes me too many hours to go over full fledged forms and since so many have been applying for the eggs, this is the best option. Please keep it under four paragraphs and no more. Thank you~

Thanks Benathorn! It's going to be difficult to write regardless of how much dialogue I include. I'm just glad to have that cleared up. Four nice paragraphs. Got it. I'm not complaining or anything, I just wanted to make sure I had the rules right.

"Hurry and get some wood will you! The fire will go out soon!" My father commanded me. We were on our annual camping trip and as usual I was forced to do all the heavy lifting while my siblings got to relax and roast marshmellows over the now dying fire. When we arrived I didnt mind the work but after a while it began to annoy me. Dragon(im using this in place of my real name) put up the tent, Dragon blow up the air matresses, Dragon this, Dragon that ugh... I just wanted to tell him to do it if it was so important. So anyway i had no choice but to obey my father and go get the wood.

~~~~~

I walked into the forest and started looking for some good sized logs. After i found a few i realized i was quite far from out camp site. I thought I should go back but i just kept walking further and further away. Soon I lost sight of our tent but for some reason i just kept walking. I felt as if i was being drawn to something. Like it was pulling me and wouldnt let go.

~~~~~

Eventually my arms began to hurt and i set down the two or three logs i had found and sat on a tree stump the pulling feeling finaly gone. but when i sat down i heard a soft thud. I got up and discovered a good sized hole in the stump with something shiny inside. I reached in and gently pulled out a foresty green egg with beltstraps and a strange symbol on it. I concluded that it must've been one of the belt buckles that was shine I saw. I knew it was a Rune Dragon's egg and thought it might be best to put it back so not to cause it's parents to panic but something kept me from doing it. I wanted to know why the egg had drawn me to it and why it was so far out here and alone. So i carefully carried the egg back to the camp site.

~~~~~

I showed my parents but every time they tried to touch or hold the egg it would tilt away from them. Once when my sister tried to touch it it nearly fell out of my hands, luckily i managed to keep my grip on it. After a lot of bribing I finally got my parents to take me to the one person who could explain the egg's strange behavior; Thorn. I hoped that maybe just maybe this little egg could be mine to keep.

It was a pretty bad day on April 12th. Rainy, cold, and nothing seemed to go right. I was supposed to go over to my friend's house and discuss our plans to go to Costa Rica. But an hour before I came over, she had stepped on a rusty nail, and had to go to the ER. I visited her, like a good friend, but was devastated when the doctor told me that she was unfit to travel. We were going to have to cancel the trip. I was upset, and was unconsolable for hours, not even comforted by my sweet rune, Daydream. To make things any better, on my walk home, I tripped and fell into a patch of poison ivy. We got home drenched in cold rainwater, and extremely itchy. "Achoo! Oh no Daydream! The cold water must have given me a cold!" I made some chicken soup, and sat down on the couch to watch some TV. "Worst day in my life." I murmured to myself. Then at five o'clock sharp, something ignited in me. I felt suddenly better, and alive. Was it the soup, the medicine I had taken, or was it something else? Something was guiding me, but I didn't know where. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. I grabbed a big black case, secured shut with many locks, and headed to the door. "C'mon Daydream, let's go for a walk."

I didn't know where I was going, or what was leading me there, I just let my heart and soul guide me through the thick forest. When we finally came to a clearing, I realized where we were. Daydream let out a yelp of fear when she saw the immense size of the mountain in front of us. She gave me a pleading look, as if she knew what I had to do. "Sorry," I said, "But I have to do this." After climbing for what seemed like forever, we reached a long plateau, and the feeling seemed to die down a little. "Guess this is pretty good." I said, and took out the black case. I unlocked all the locks, undid the many laches, and pulled out a gleaming bow and a quiver full of silver arrows. I found a tree that would work perfectly as a target, and pasted a paper bullseye on its trunk. I placed the first arrow on to the bow and pulled back the bow string Thwap! I had hit the 7. Good, but not great. I threaded the second arrow. Thwap! Bullseye, great! As I was threading the third arrow, I paused, and looked at the sunset. "Daydream, look! The sunset had the same color as your chest." Daydream let out a chirp of delight as she realized the same thing. Now, back to archery. Thwap! 5. Thwap! 9. But right as I was threading the fifth arrow, the feeling started in my chest again. This time is was much stronger. It forced me to drop my bow, and walk toward the mouth of a cave. Where was it taking me now!

The cave was damp and dark, the only light was an eerie green pulse, that seemed to happen every five seconds. Then I realized, the feeling in my chest was leading me toward the green light! Some bats flew over my head, and I shirked when I saw a gigantic cave spider. When I got close enough to see it, I saw that it was a odd-looking green orb. I got close enough to see it in detail, and realized that it was a Rune dragon egg! I stared at it in awe for a few moments, then picked it up. It was cold as ice, and I worried for its life. I wondered how long it had been left in the cave, or how long it had been left like this. I knew I had to take this egg to someone who knew more about Runes than me, and fast! I rushed through the cave, but came to a fork in the road. I stopped to think, but then realized I had no time for thinking. This Rune egg could die any second if I didn't get it to warmth quickly. I decided to go to the right path. I ran for a few yards, but then the path came to an abrupt end. I turned around and ran back to the fork. I took the right path this time, and ran out to where Daydream was perching. "Daydream, look what I found!" I held up the egg so she could see it. I started to pack up my archery equipment, when the egg rolled over to me. It seemed to have an attraction to the weapon I was packing up. I packed up the bow and arrows, and started back down the side of the mountain.

We got down to the bottom of the mountain, and the egg was starting to feel warmer. "Good." I said to myself. "Now all I have to do is get it to a caretaker." The walk home was a long one. I guess I didn't realize how long it was the first time, because my attention was elsewhere. After hours of walking, we reached my house. I ran in, and immediately pulled out the orangepages. I flipped to the 'R' section, and scanned the pages franticly. Finally, I saw it. "Rune Dragon Adoption and Information! 22 west Swallowtail avenue, that's pretty far." I decided to take the car this time. I took the egg, and hopped in the car, leaving Daydream at home. She doesn't do well on long car trips. But halfway through the trip, the egg became ice cold again. I pulled over to a rest stop, and ran into the bathroom. I blasted the air dryer, hoping it would warm up the egg. It did, but I had to keep it warm for the next hour. I took some paper towels, blasted them in the air dryer, and wrapped them around the egg. I just hoped this would keep it warm for the rest of the trip. I realized why the egg had gotten so cold, was because at the house, Daydream was laying on it. I finally got up to 22 west Swallowtail Avenue, and felt the egg. It was still warm, thanks to the paper towels. I rushed inside, hoping to get someone to help. I told the woman at the front desk my scenario. She had a cute little Rune perched on her shoulder, who could obviously smell my Rune on my sweater. The woman looked curious, almost alarmed about the egg I had found, and led me to a room down the hall. I just hoped the person inside the room could shed some light on this mysterious egg!

A cute little poem I wrote.

The young warrior
Born in the heart of mother earth
Trains silently in his cocoon
And waits for someone to bring him to
The outside world

Jace (male) and the rune egg Thane - done by me

"The sky was dark, shadows flitting through the tree tops as i followed my usual routine of searching for fruit that Azreth and I enjoyed as fireflies light up the dark blue sky and glide across the waters surface, but it felt different, like the wind blew colder, the shadows stretched deeper, and the trees that stood there since the beginning of time seemed even more ancient, but I refused to notice, refused to acknowledge that fate was nocking at my door and that my life could change… or even end.

I walked along a footpath winding between some thorny bushes and thistles heading to some bushes I knew where always covered with berries when something green caught my eye, it looked like it might be an unripe fruit and I headed towards it realizing that it was definitely not a fruit. I slowly reached out and as I touched the smooth cold surface a shock spread through my hand and arm, it was alive…

I held an egg, an actual rune egg more amazing than anything I have ever seen, the life glowed within it and it was covered in a smooth leathery belt, it smelled like earth, like the forest after the rain and a marking covered the shell that gave it a warrior like air. I new I was right, I could feel it, our hearts were synced, we where a perfect match, fated to meet and be together.

I couldn’t resist, so I took it into my arms, tears leaving joyful trails down my cheeks and decided to take him on my journey, my Thane, my joy, I decided I needed some help, I needed to know if it is healthy and what he would be like so I came here to your humble cottage to seek some answers…"

The sewer seemed an unlikely place to wander. The stench was bad enough, but having it pich black didn't help. I was soaking wet from falling down 20 minutes ago. I thought I was alone, but boy was I wrong.
I walked deeper and deeper into the never ending darkness. I had almost forgotten what I came down here for. An egg. Not any old chicken egg, no a Dragon egg. Legend tells of a crocodile like beast that lives in the sewers of New york. I came here to prove it's existince with one of it's eggs. It was going to be dangerous, but there was no turning back now.
Up ahead on of the storm gates let in a little bit of light. In the light I saw something. The dragons nest with an egg in it. I ran up to it, hoping to get a better look at it. It was green with a strange marking on one side. Was this it? The fabled dragon's egg would not only be easy to find, but retrieve. Without hesitating I grabbed the egg and ran. I hadn't noticed until I heard a splash behind me, that the nest WAS gaurded. I ran quickely back to the opening I had came in from, holding the egg tight so I wouldn't drop it.
Once I was out, I covered the manhole and ran home to get a better look at the egg. In my room, I studied and sketched the egg many times. I wrote down notes whenever something changed or was discovered. I decided to call it Zhanshi, the meaning of warrior in chinese. Yes, he was my little warrior.
(Write a small story of how you found this egg.)

On a trek through a heavily wooded area i stumbled over a large round object. When i got back up i looked around in the moss but saw nothing. I walked around and found a small rock but not big enough to trip over. I was just determined to find that thing. All of a sudden i saw a flash of light as if the sunlight from the sunset had passed over something shiny. I turned to my right only to find the end of a belt buckle. I yanked on it and saw that it was just a plain, dirty, brown belt. I thought to myself did i trip over this? Then, satisfied with my discovery, i gathered my things and began trekking again.

Just as the sun came over the peaks of distant mountains, i awoke and headed back out on the trails. Then, once again, my foot hit something very hard. I looked down and there it was again. The belt. This time I leaned over and yanked on the belt. it didn't budge.i dried digging around it. still nothing. Then as i leaned closer my water canteen spilled filling the holes on either side with water and the object loosened. I pulled it out and examined it. It was a large green rock with some kind of symbol on it. The belt seemed to be stuck to the outside. Turning it over once more i shrugged it off, then slipped the stone into my backpack and headed off down the trail in search of a certain rune cabin deep in the trees

The Sun Shinded Brightly In The Blue Sky As I Hiked On. I Paused Near A Waterfall To Refresh Myself And Cool Off. Hiking Through The Dense Forest Was Hard Work After All, And It Had Been Three Days. I Heard A Sharp Banging Sound . . . Clank! Clank! Clank! Intrigued, I Wandered Toward The Sound. When I Finally Found The Source, It Stopped. I Took The Chance To Observe The Surrounding Forest.
I Was In A Hollow The Size Of A Bus, And Hidden Slightly In The Brush Was A Short Metal Building, Rundown And Overgrown With Vines. Even So, A Light Still Gleamed In The Cracked Windows, ANd Smoke Wafted Out Of The Crumbling Chimney. Drawn To This Strange Anchient Framework, I Calmly Walked Nearer, And, Checking Behind Each SHoulder, Crept Into The Building. The Inside Was Amazingly Intact, Pictures Framed On The Walls, A Fire Going In The Fireplace, A Set Of Iron Working Tools Mounted On The Wall; It Was Like A Storybook Cottage.
I Wandered Towards The Large Anvil In The Center Of The Room. I Reached Ou To Touch It, ANd Out Of Nowhere A Giant Hammer Fell From The Rafters. Taken By Surprise, I Stumbled Back, And Tripped Over Something Indistinguishable, ANd Fell Face First Into A Bucket Of Friged Water. Furious, I Whipped Around, Only To Find That This Stuped Little Thing I Tripped On Was An Egg. Not Just Any Egg, But A Dragon Egg. It Was As If Fate Led Me To This Egg. The Clanking, The Cottage; It Was Ment To Be.
This Was My Rune Dragon.
