[I recommend you wake up now, Serena, your hatchday is drawing near and it will be practical for you to be awake]

I slowly went in and out of consciousness, My mind finally registered their voice as I gave my full attention to them. 'Thanks SYSTEM! Also, is there any chance I could call you something else? Feels weird calling you SYSTEM'

[You may call me whatever you wish, as you are my host and I am responsible to answer whatever you may need and offer advice when needed.]

The monotone voice answered, feeling like they deserve a name, I thought long and hard on what to name them. 'How about Sy? It's like a shortened version of SYSTEM'

[If that is what you wish to call me, then so be it. I would also like to inform you of some options that are open to you]

'Options? What options? The only options I ever got was when you asked me for customisation options.'

[I was instructed to wait on the options until you were already hatched, but I say your close enough. Simply say the word 'status' and we could go from there]

'Umm, ok? Status!' The moment I say that, I see something for the first time in what seems like forever

'Wait I get stats?? I gotta admit this is cool! Let's see.....man I'm pretty weak'

[Maybe so, but I'm sure you'll grow stronger!]

'Thanks sy, anyway, how much time till I hatch?'

[In about two days]

'Alright, I trust your word sy..'

                            ~~~

'No......No...no no no no no! They aren't supposed to be here already!

[I need more fighters over here! I need some drones too make sure the eggs are evacuated! It is important that the heir survives!]

[More lings are coming Captain Brozen, the eggs have been mostly evacuated. Her Majesty has made sure the heir is safe.]

[Good, now I want-]

Before he could give out more orders, a large lizzard like being with wings and sharp claws came barreling into him. The sharp claws on the creature penetrated his armored skin, light green blood began falling on to the ground at a rapid pace as the being continued it's assault mercilessly

[Captain? Captain? CAPTAIN!?]

He ignored the voice of his fellow Changeling as more voices added to the link, he opened his mouth back and spit a glowing green mass of acid at his attacker, grinning at it nailed it in the face. He gave a low hiss chuckle "Burn with the rest of your species, Wrequin" he closed his eyes and passed on

                            ~~~

She looked down at the egg she had taken, slowly closing her eyes she reached out to the young mind within

[Can you hear me, young one?]

[Who...who are you?!]

[I am your mother, Queen Monarch, but the hive has been attacked. I had taken your egg knowing who you are, I don't have much time, I will be hiding you from the enemy. I know I will not make it, but you will, when you hatch I need you to go south and find Draxon and Rider]

The Queen sent her mental pictures of what the two Changelings look like

[I know it's a lot to take in, but I know you will do just fine.]

Loud screeching can be heard from the distance, she hurriedly placed the egg in a creavis in the wall, placing things over the hold to disguise the egg

[Goodbye my princess, I hope everything will be alright when you grow, Artemis]

She slowly turned around, glaring at the ones who entered

                            ~~~

Wh...what just happened?! I was just chilling, waiting to hatch when apparently my mom talked to me and someone is attacking?! I don't even know if she's still alive. Ok, calm down me, I'm sure everything is-

[Titled earned! 'The one of three survivors!]

Wait....did everyone just die?!

Alright! That's a wrap, keep reading this if you want an explanation on how I do the stats!

Okay so most of them are self explanatory, HP being health, MP Magic stuff etc. The Titles is locked till she hatches, I put a few passive skills down for her and no Action because she can't really do anything in an egg.

I also chose her name to be Artemis, thought that would fit.

That's really all I have to say, goodbye people!
