Golden Eyes of Fear

Jack thought he saw “something shiny” in the deep cracks of the egg and leaned forward. It was the creature’s eyes, shining suspiciously golden as they reflected the surrounding light. But the eyes were not the loveliness of a bird’s, but rather a cool-headed glint that fixed its gaze on its prey. As soon as his eyes met its piercing gaze, Jack felt the blood freeze in his body. How much wild power lurked within this shell?
