The Hatch
Birth of the purple-gold dragon.
Octavia at the table, smiling as the dragon comes through the egg. Then the same birth without her — wings out, rune burning on the cracked shell, the whole apothecary lit from inside.
The hatchling in these plates is the adult that later takes the golden scroll, and the cartoon dragon that sits on Stardust’s head.
The meeting. Octavia, the egg, the dragon coming through.
The birth without her. Wings, rune on the shell, the room lit from the inside.
