This is beyond words for them, a race that has already come close to extinction.
"I am willing, my giant snake friends, but now is not the time."
Murphy shook his head.
He did not know whether the giant snakes could understand, but he still explained:
"War is coming!
The war between humans and the Wolf People could likely involve you as well, and choosing to hatch offspring at this time is not a good choice, as it means you will spend a great deal of energy protecting the young.
But I promise you, once there are signs of the end of the war, I will immediately proceed with the hatching of the millennium egg."
At this, the giant snakes seemed somewhat disappointed but in front of the example set by Little Cardinna, they chose to trust the curator's promise, and then they, full of dignity under Oru's hissing, took the snake babies to familiarize themselves with the whole swamp ecosystem.
Oru itself led Murphy and his companions in another direction.
