the imp in the egg chamber, Davin had a small fear in the back of his mind. He hurried down the halls and up the stairs with a feeling of being followed. He scurried past the shadows quickly, thinking that something was going to jump out and grab him if he took too long to pass.
    Once at his door he opened it slowly. He would catch hell if his Dad woke up to find him coming in so late after sneaking out to wander the halls. With the door open he stepped inside and closed it behind him. To his relief, he could still hear the slight snore coming from his Dad's room. Davin went back to his room and laid down on his bed. He was really tired from the long night. His eyes grew heavier and heavier then he fell asleep.
    In the morning Davin woke in a panic. He had overslept. He jumped out of bed and threw on some clean clothes. He didn't even take the time to get something to eat. He grabbed his school bag and rushed out the front door. The halls outside were unusually busy. Everyone was running about frantically.
    Davin stopped one of the men who was quickly walking down the hall. "What's going on?" He asked. Although in actuality, he already knew the answer.
    " There has been a breach in the egg chamber." The man replied in a panicked voice. "Someone has taken five eggs from the chamber. Everyone is gathering in the main hall," he continued.
    That was quick. Davin thought to himself.
    Davin raced to the stairwell and began his descent down to the main floor where everyone was meeting. When he got to the bottom of the stairwell, Chloe was standing at the doorway.
    " There you are!" She whispered. "When you didn't show up for class, I thought maybe you had been caught going back to your room. Wait. You didn't tell did you?" She asked.
    " Of course not Chloe. Why on earth would I do that."
    " Good!" She said a bit harshly. "Sorry, I am just a little worried is all." Her tone softened. "We should head to the hall."
    Davin and Chloe headed around to the main hall. Everyone in the Keep was making their way in to find a seat. They saw Kimball sitting a few rows from the back. They casually walked over and sat down next to him. A few minutes had passed and finally people had all settled in. There were only a few people still coming in through the doors when Myrdinn walked in through one of the side doors. He was followed by Lugos, Goban, and Aiden. They quietly walked up to the front podium. Myrdinn took his place behind the podium while the other three took seats along side.
    The noisy room filled with people became hushed. All of the many conversations stopped to hear what was about to be said.
    Myrdinn stood in front of the crowd with his pipe in hand. He took a couple of puffs and blew them out slowly.
    " It seems, as some of you may already know, we have had an incident. Someone unbeknown to us has stolen something precious. This morning during a random egg count, we found that five eggs have been taken. We do not yet know why they have been stolen or how the egg chamber was breached. We also do not know if the culprit will strike again. I assure you however, a full investigation will be held and we will do our very best to get to the bottom of this. I ask that if anyone has any knowledge of this matter they come forward immediately."
    Davin felt Chloe grab hold of his shirt, as though she was telling him to stay seated.
    Myrdinn paused briefly. "I can only hope that this was not an act committed by one of my fellow people here. However, please do not take personal offense if you are called in for questioning. Some of you may have seen something and may not know it's pertinence. I only ask that you assist us in any way possible. That is all I have on this subject for now. I urge you to go about your regular business and not worry as there appears to be no immediate danger at hand. Thank you all for coming."
    Myrdinn took another puff off of his pipe, bowed his head slightly and walked back out the door from which he came. Lugos, Goban
