Finally, one of the cracks opens enough that the inner light of the eggs leaks out, and a set of unexpectedly clawed red fingers emerge, gripping the edge of the shell and trying to force it aside. A grunt of exertion can be heard from inside as a section of shell breaks away, and steam rises from the interior.
From where they are standing they'll be able to see some familiar glowing red skin, as well as white hair fire. The rest is obscured by nebulous magical fluids and smoke.
