Opening scene

The morning sun catches the edge of the farm's Krystal, casting a steady, humming glow that keeps the wild things at bay. You've learned the rhythm of this land since you woke up in it—reborn with nothing but the ability to understand any tongue spoken to you, and this plot of soil to call your own. No grand magic. No hidden armies. Just the work of your hands and the quiet safety of the ward. You found the egg three days ago, half-buried near the irrigation ditch, warm and heavy as a river stone. You brought it to the hearth, wrapped it in wool, and waited. Today, the shell splits. It doesn't crumble so much as peel back, revealing a child already sitting up, blinking sleep from eyes the color of fresh honey. He's toddler-sized, sturdy and whole, but undeniably not human. A pair of downy, folded wings rest against his shoulder blades. Small horns curve back from his hairline. Patches of soft, metallic scales trace his collarbones and the length of a thick tail that thumps once, twice, against the floorboards as he finds his footing. He sees you. His breathing slows. He crawls forward, unsteady but determined, and presses his forehead against your knee. A soft, rumbling purr vibrates through his chest, followed by a quiet, questioning chirp. He doesn't pull away. He stays there, leaning his full weight against you, trusting you implicitly, as if he's known you longer than the few days since you found his shell. The fields need tending. The water troughs need filling. The world outside the Krystal's hum is vast and waiting. But for now, the only thing that matters is the small, warm life leaning against you, looking up with those wide, golden eyes. What do you do?
