It was an understandable reason for the mud skinned alligator egg to be rare. If it was susceptible to illness because of its skin then it would have a very hard time surviving in standing water. Walker read off his appraisal and Ash seemed to understand. "I had hoped that it wouldn\'t be one. I doubt I can find a proper home for it. Maybe a nobles\' or rich merchant child will become a tamer one day." This seemed to be the only hope for the egg since when it hatched it would need constant care. 

Walker turned his gaze to the pure white eggs with a lot of ridges on it. This was also an egg that Onyx was fixated on. "Brother, it has a very powerful light elemental affinity. I can feel it pulling the light mana from me. I never have to fight for control over it." It was shocking to hear that Onyx struggled with it. Usually, Onyx was the strongest pull of light elemental mana because he was drawing it to him as food. Walker even had the feeling that onyx had better control of it when he was hungry. 

\'Heavenly serpent

This is an egg that should never have touched the ground. The heavenly serpent is a monster thought to remain in the sky as close to the light as possible. When they eventually outgrow their childhood and reach adulthood, they will use a massive amount of stored mana to create a spatial portal to the light elemental plane. They were loved by a certain race due to their light elemental purity but have long been thought to have migrated fully to the light elemental plane of existence. To hatch a heavenly serpent the egg must be bathed in pure light elemental mana for one hundred days straight.\'

Ash let out an impressed whistle when he looked at this egg again. He had not been able to find records about any of these monsters nor about how to hatch them. He had only been able to discern the light elemental affinity and the fact that it was a snake or serpent shaped monster. "Now that sounds like an egg that might not be able to be hatched. I think you would need a few thousand light elemental crystals with perfect purity. That\'s a lot of gold…" Ash now realized he would most likely never sell this egg since tamers were not known to be rich people. 

"Brother, it is like me. It would never have been able to hatch without the right person." Walker could feel the pain that Onyx had in his heart. Onyx knew that it was possible this egg would have no family at all and that it might be impossible for it to have a home like Onyx did. 

Midnight picked up on the way that Onyx felt and was staring Walker down hard. They both were giving him a harsh look. "I can understand how you both feel, but you know that I wouldn\'t be able to hatch this egg either. If I did, I would need to make triple the gold the entire family has, then I would need to take care of it, and finally it would need to be able to come with us." These were valid points that Walker needed to keep at the top of his mind. 

"I can tell that this is a hard thing to think about. You have two voices telling you to take this egg and have it join your family. Many tamers feel this way when they hear a story like this. But that can be good and bad. In your case, you have seen the best and had a stronger bond with these two because of their need. For some people, they will take the egg out of pity and hatch it, then they are unable to properly care for it and the monster suffers. But let me tell you something interesting…" Ash had a very wide smile on his face. "Have you ever met someone that is not a tamer that had ways to tame a monster?"

It was as if Ash had started an earthquake in Walker\'s mind. He was having a pretty bit realization about taming that seemed to make a lot of sense. "Herders, farmers, and even the dwarves have monsters but they aren\'t tamers!" 

"That\'s it. The dwarves can tamer certain monsters as pets because those monsters are very closely related to their mining and forging systems. I have even seen a golem get tamed by a dwarf miner that went after some rare ores. It was an amazing feat since there are no golem eggs. I had a pretty great show to see it happening. Now, as for a price, introduce me to the dwarf king of the deep caves. I heard he has a few tamed monsters related to his system." 

"I can make that happen, but what are the requirements for someone to get this egg?" Walker had a feeling that it might be a little more strict than expected. He also knew that Ash seemed to be more curious for information than expected. If he managed to meet the king of the deep caves it would be a long conversation. 

"Just listen closely, I doubt you don\'t know someone with the requirements needed. You seem well known." Ash felt that Walker had played right in to his hands.
