much work. Christian patted her on the head and then she flew off. Star 
looked slightly disappointed, but she was still happy all the same. ‘My 
very own dragon.' She thought. 

“Okay, so what do I have to do?” Star asked. 

“Well, you know how to wash dishes, right?” her father asked, and Star
nodded. “Okay, then. You can wash dishes every other night, and help me 
around the house. So, if you wish, I'll give you a necklace that has a 
pouch on it so that you can carry your egg around in it.” 

“Sure. I would hate for it to hatch and me not be there. Thanks again.”
Star replied. Her father got up and went to go find the necklace. While 
he was gone, Star stared at the egg. She could not believe that she had 
her very own dragon. In some part of her mind, she always knew they 
were real, but everything and everyone said that they never existed. 
She could almost imagine the look on their faces when they saw her own 
dragon. But they were all in another world. She carefully picked up the 
egg and held it in her hand. It felt so smooth and warm to the touch. 
Star even thought she saw it glowing a little around the edges. Her 
father came back and handed her a necklace made out of pure black 
leather with a green pocket attached to it. 

“And in case you're wondering, the egg IS glowing. It knows its owner.
It took Raine's egg month's to glow. But that just mean's she didn't 
trust me. Look's like your's trusts' you.” He said. 

“Yeah.” Star said, taking the necklace and gently sliding the egg into
the little pocket. It was the perfect fit. She drew the little strings 
on the top and the pocket closed, holding the egg inside. She then put 
the necklace around her neck and felt the warmth of the egg against her 
chest. 

“Okay, now that that's done, want to help me gather the eggs? And I saw
some tomato's yesterday that should be ready by now.” Christian said, 
waiting for an answer from his daughter. 

“Sure, I'd love to help. It would give me a chance to finally take in
some of my surrounding's, anyway. I never got the chance to really look 
around yesterday.” Star said. She had always been a curious child, and 
she wanted to see the outside in this strange new world. 

“Alright, then. Let's go.” Said her father and he lead the way out the
backdoor, the same back door her mother had told her to leave out of 
just yesterday, but yet this door now was in a different world.
