[And this is what they all saw next.]

[It was a dark place, cool and senere, but somehow, filled with the currents of life.]

[And floating in the middle of it...]

[A purple egg rocked, and started to crack from the inside.]

[Chip chip chiiirp!]

[And from far away, riding a current...]

[A strange critter that once had looked a bit like a small dog with wings but was now covered with eyestalks and tentecles swam, heading straight for the egg, and what was hatching out of it.]

- Pyaaaa!

(Daviiiid!)

[And that was when a dark purple Eastern dragon pup cracked the egg at long last, and started to push it's snot out of the egg...]

[And James's spirit animal reached out with it's tentacles, hugged it close.]
