Reincarnated as a High Kobold

The darkness is gone, replaced by the confines of a large, spherical egg. You stretch, bumping against the hard shell, surprised by the unfamiliar feel of wings and a tail. Your voice comes out as a high-pitched yip when you try to speak, a strange contrast to the clear thoughts in your mind.

Probing your new body, you discover reptilian scales, sharp teeth, and feathered down. A strange window appears in your mind, displaying your stats and identity: Nóttormr, High Kobold (Nox Ancestry), with an Awakened Bloodline: Twilight Dragon (Feathered).

Sounds of cracking shells reach your ears from outside. The other hatchlings are emerging. Driven by a strange instinct and a sudden hunger, you begin to break and eat your own eggshell, finding it surprisingly tasty. As you finish, you see a cavern dimly lit by glowing orbs, filled with other newly hatched, mostly red-scaled kobolds stumbling towards an entrance. You gather your balance, stumble once, and join the exodus.
