Summary: Ramoth's egg is gone. Taken.


Every inch of the cavern searched, but heated sands reveals only

Glaring absence of sand, gleaming egg

Gone, though the clutch rests untouched


Even the greens hold their calls

Greens, as vocal as fire lizards are as silent as

Gold in grief and queens in mourning
