Chapter Text
he had been protecting the end for a while now, after the mafia fiasco atleast.
he had assumed the dragon’s egg was gone, some player stole it and maybe sold it.
the thought made him ill, in a way. He wasn’t sure if the egg had any life in it but the thought it might have another dragon in it and he was to late made him sick
so he moved on, kept protecting the end from players wanting to ransack it or, revive the ender dragon.
which is why he was so shocked when he found the egg on one of the end islands , protected by about a thousand ender men.
it was underneath an end island, as if someone , probably its mother. craved the island from inside out and built a nest from it.
covered by a maybe thousand blankets and pillows it lay, a black egg — similar in texture to an obsidian block.
it had small cracks developed on it, from the bottom and traveling up, shaking as he crept closer
he was about to grab it, maybe to inspect it he didn’t know when a small hand punched out, the shell clattering to the ground.
He vaguely heard thunder from outside, he didn’t know the end had thunder
he wasn’t focused on that though, the hand retreated back into the safety of its shell before the cracks intensified and a larger shell broke off, two hands appeared this time before a head shot out curiously.
the child was small, god it was small
and adorable.
dark purple curls, fading into light pinks and purples at the ends. Its eyes green and mimicking the eye’s of ender and full of curiosity
wow that, made him uncomfortable to think about..
the child looked around till it’s eyes landed on him with an uncomfortable intensity
it did not make him nervous no.
he slowly crept forward, fully aware of the more intense stares of the ender men around him, they hadn’t attacked him
was that because of this child?
the child giggled as he got closer, reaching out with grabby hands. Fisting into his coat when he picked it up.
his face softened a bit, letting out a sigh of relief
He wasn’t too late, the last ender dragon was still here.
no player had sold it, it was here
in his arms
perfectly safe

Raising a baby was hard; God he was never gonna make fun of it again
The end didn’t really have nights or days, the sky always violet and dark. he think it messes up the child’s perception of sleep
because it never slept!
“You’ve been awake for hours” he said , exasperatedly. Holding the child up face to face
the child babbled as it grabbed at his face , fully energetic . It’s small wings flapping behind it
“aaAA !”
he sighed at that.
He was much more careful about who he let into the end now, careful about where he let them
he didn’t want the players finding out about,, well the baby. he didn’t know how they would react
He had only planned to eventually introduce the baby to one person, a person named eggchan. He was generally harmless so he trusted him
had a tendency to get kidnapped a lot ..! But other than that yeah he was harmless .
they met back in the mafia . He had no clue how egg had gotten to this. Egg also has no clue
lesson learned, he’s no help in that regard.
he looked down to the baby asleep on him, head resting on his shoulder and his small hand fisted into his coat again
not yet.
maybe he should pick a name.

the baby had learned to crawl, it has been a few months now . It had been a disaster
the moment the thing was put down onto the ground it was gone
he blinked and gone it was!
gave him a heart attack , but he think that’s a normal thing .
“Wemmbu. stop trying to eat your toys, u have actual food”
wemmbu slammed its fits on the floor with a scream, thunder going off outside with its tiny tantrum that only made minute slightly nervous
“yeahyeah..” he muttered with a small smile, watching the baby almost immediately move on from the interaction
God he was screwed
