Summary
Your father's body has not registered much of anything except the single desperate imperative driving it forward — get to him, get to him, get to him — and in approximately two seconds that imperative is going to put a mace through your uncle's skull and your father is going to have to live the rest of his life knowing what his hands did whilst he was not himself.
One second.
No. Absolutely not.
You move. The blow that was never meant for anyone it loved finds the one person on this field who was paying attention.

Summary
He retrieves it from his chest before dawn on the morning of the funeral. It is cool in his hands and heavier than he remembers, grey and black and faintly iridescent, the colours shifting in the candlelight.
He had bought it from a Pentoshi merchant the week you were born, had paid more than he should have and told no one what he paid and would do it again without hesitation, and you had carried it around Summerhall for three years calling it you dragon, and he had told you to put it down before you dropped it.
He wraps the egg in a plain cloth and sits with it until the light comes.
