Squeezing the young guards around the waist, the Emperor stroked their soft, sensitive new wings a bit as he walked them towards the hatchery. "You'll definitely need to practice flying from now on, now that you've got a good grasp of how to fight on the ground," he said to them. "But right now, the important thing is to give you both a proper reward, and to introduce you to your little sisters!"
As Gabby stated her desire to stay close to Nova, the Emperor nodded. "I knew you'd say that," he said. "You two have always been inseparable, and that's not going to change anytime soon." He chuckled at Nova's words, shaking her head and giving her a kiss. "They'll be hatching in a few minutes, actually... which is why we're here." Having known their decision in advance, he had already prepared two eggs to hatch.
Entering one of the rooms in the hatchery, he directed their attention towards two eggs in the middle, which had already begun to shake a bit. "Look," he said to them, "They're already hatching. Let's go greet them... so that the first things they see when they wake up are their Daddy and their big sisters." He made his way closer to the eggs, watching them and waiting for them to hatch to the eager greetings of their big sisters.
