The Dragon-blooded Pillbugs had finally fastened.
Alex could hardly believe the time had come. He had been hoping for this moment to come for nearly two years now, and finally it had happened.
He quickly brought the pillbugs out, looking over them. They seemed quite lively this time around, mindlessly crawling around his palm. Had it been before, they would have rolled up into tiny pill-sized balls and started hibernating right away when they were done eating.
But now, they were fully awake, although perhaps not as alert.
The others had mentioned that they fed these pillbugs for over two years and still failed to fasten them completely. Alex thus wondered if his blood having the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor had something to do with the speed of their awakening.
'What exactly am I supposed to do now?' Alex thought. 'I have to learn how to control them, right?'
