This is a baby chick, not a dragon. So what was it doing in the dragons’ cave?

Ebony Star, a warrior and hunter herself, believes strongly in the cycles of life. When one creature dies, it is only right and desirable that its death can give life to another. So when she saw a bird's egg that had fallen from a height, smashing a gaping hole in the shell, her first thought was not sadness, but the chance to bring home a nourishing meal for Mirren, who was feverish and unwell. She left the egg next to the sleeping hatchling before going back out on patrol. However, before Mirren could wake, a tiny beak began to chip its way through what was left of the eggshell... and Mirren awoke to find that some mysterious benefactor had brought her a new pet. The little chick now follows Mirren everywhere, believing she is a mother bird, and even Ebby does not really have the heart to suggest that it be eaten.
