Hmmm, interesting chapter. More dragon/kirin dynamics. Also, Fiery has some CRAZY instincts going on. Very interesting to see her internal conflict.

This was where i thought not being immune to magic was gonna come up. Maybe Schimmernde would have been humbled a bit. With all his years and him being a kirin with unicorn heritage I thought he would have found or came up with a spell to combat dragons or at least subdue them. Something that wouldn't have worked on an Adult Azure Dragon but Schimmernde being young and cocky would have lost to, making her eat her words about him not being Fiery's equal. His knowledge outweighing all of the forces that Fiery has amassed. He wouldn't claim her because that wasn't what he wanted and the loss for both of them would make them both think a little more. Maybe even haunt them a little, had they learned this lesson from anykirin else their journey would have ended there. He could have also become a great asset not as a subject/slave but as a friend/advisor if he wasn't rushing away from conflict. It was funny to see protecc egg come up again but why didn't he mention it? All in all this guy sounds like a total chump who wasted 212 years of his life. Maybe he spent it learning to please a dragoness, it wouldn't had been a waste then.

I wonder why Nimble didn't simply mention the egg since it could have avoided conflict with Schimmernde.

Protection, the less creatures know about the egg, the less creatures could threat it. He doesn't know Fiery and her merriment, they could pose a threat to the egg. Dragons and Kirins are very protective about them, they are not always logical to the point, but they do whatever they seem fit to protect the eggs. 🐉
