I've thought of using the line function but as time skips become less frequent I decided against it. Hope your enjoying the story.

Changeling egg?

Mildly surprising that he didn't ask anyone about the egg before messing with it.
Also that it was the very first item in the auction.
What could it be?
I think it pretty much has to be a dragon since nothing else canonically has an egg that can go years without hatching.
Spikes egg was also hatched with magic.
Not sure it makes sense with the timeline as I think were already past most of the major time skips and a baby dragon would be a baby dragon for a long time, like the spike we see in the show was several years after he was hatched.
If we ignore that other species eggs don't last that long it could be almost anything that has large eggs, gryphon, hippogriff? Or something else weird from the everfree.
If it branches further from canon it could be a changeling.
I'm biased toward it being a changeling as it wouldn't have the multi year baby period, not sure how you'd handle the grub phase though.

First thanks as always for the help. Second, I totally forgot to say how big the egg was I'm going to fix that. And finally, as for why he didn't ask anyone what the egg might be. The auction house had the egg for several year and they specialize in uncommon things. And Shade is the type of pony who likes to discover new things so he's just curious about the egg. Thanks for reading.

Oh then assuming it's small like chicken egg sized i'm going to assume it's something weird from the everfree like a cockatrice then.
Not really much on the small side I can think of that might respond to magic.
Also yeah lot more understandable that he doesn't ask anyone about it if it's a small egg as the possibilities are a lot less "this could eventually be a person".

Ya that's about right but hey Equis is a big place, and many things remain unknown. ; )

Thanks for the update!

"I can feel the life magic radiating from it even with me being so far away I can feel it like I'm standing next to it."

So a phoenix egg, literally an embodiment of rebirth and life. What other creatures has so much life energy radiating of it if not a pheonix ?

Ooh, pet. Noice.

This means that the new magic light is going to be sold all over the country, and as the inventor of the magic light, I'm entitled to two percent of ALL sales to be deposited into a bank account in my name, I'm about to have a lot of bits, knowing Celestia I really should have seen this coming.

He's getting hard scam/ripped. 2% might seem like alot but considering how insanely revolutionary it will be he's getting basically a penny for every 2 dollar Celestia makes

About 10ish chapters in, great story and interesting but you need to work on the dialogue. Seems almost like your writing off a script almost robically rather than human thoughts and feelings.

Only nick pick of the story that I got is that the grammer is sometimes wonky. Other than that it's bloody amazing.

The page contained the number to a bank account in my name, along with the plans for the new magic light that's going to be sold by the crown and select merchants with help from various merchants and crafts ponies around Equestria to help in the production and sale of them.

I knew she was gonna open an account for him to get him some of that lamp money. It's a very Celestia thing to do <3
