Come on, not even a scene of how they made the egg?

If there was an egg does Rhea have a cloaca?
Why does Byleth not allowed to have cloaca then? Why is it always thick, pulsating, girthy, warm cock with porn. How immodest!

I love this couple so much

I feel blessed being able to read anything from Gyarin
thank you dearly for the translation and upload ^_^

Come on, not even a scene of how they made the egg?

At least Gyarin provides a lot of examples of how it might have happened in their other works lol

i would also like to see the procreation to sate my scientific curiosity

Gyarin is Rhealeth's strongest soldier for sure. We need to see the whole process, hatching and the childcare as well!

I mean this in that best way possible, this belongs in r/BrandNewSentence. I fucking cackled reading this

Love the cover.

Rhea egg laying…

This is the Shakespearean equivalent to "and then they fucked".

egg

i mean she can lay an unfertilized egg can't she

It really depends on dragons' specific biology. If dragons work like dinosaurs and dinosaurs work like birds, then every dragon period should involve an unfertilized egg. If true, it'd be impossible for Rhea to not know what a dragon egg looks like unless she's infertile, which she apparently isn't. So in this particular work at least, it would seem that dragon periods do not work like bird periods, and dragon eggs only forms around fertilized embryos. Or perhaps being in human form interrupts their reproductive cycles? I do feel like a human body trying to pass a dragon-sized egg would be a bad time.

(No clue how this lines up with canon, Fire Emblem is one of those fandoms whose yuri doujins I enjoy much more than the games themselves.)

Crack headcanon dragons are like cats, they get in heat but only ovulate during mating.

Seems fair enough, honestly? An adult dragon's metabolic costs are already going to be crazy even if they spend most of their time sleeping. Dragons tend to hatch much more developed than most IRL newborns, so now on top of that you're looking at multiple cows' worth of food per dragon egg. This appetite just isn't sustainable without some way of preventing unfertilized eggs from forming, either by forming the egg after fertilization or only forming the egg when you know it's likely to be fertilized. (In before: No, that's gross, and unless they've got supernaturally efficient stomachs they'd only get like 40% of the nutrients back anyway.)

I guess the only other way would be if they had external fertilization like fish, so the females could have very long ovulation cycles and just sorta keep the eggs around until they find a suitable male?... Probably not if they're having kids with humans, though.

That was a wyvern egg. Dragons ≠ wyverns. I'm not even sure if Nabateans can even lay eggs, since FE3H dragons contradict established FE lore on dragonkin (Manaketes). But since I'm not too fresh on that either, it doesn't matter, yay!

Anyway, I think it depends on whether Rhea's human form menstruates, no? Since that is basically just getting rid of unfertilized ova, plus some uteral lining. (So yes, eggs are chicken menstruation. Have a nice breakfast.) If there is some analogue between the dragon and the woman, I'd assume these processes to correspond.

Which makes one wonder how pregnancy works when switching forms. I don't think the egg would disappear and teleport the fetus back into the womb upon transformation. So it's probably some form of viviparity (aplacental or not). Which immediately reminds me of how some sharks are ovoviviparous (i.e. the young hatch inside the mother). And let's face it, having dragons be like sharks is just metal as fuck.

Also birds are dinosaurs.

In context of Fire Emblem, I'm pretty sure you're incorrect. My memory of Sealed Sword and the wiki both have wyverns as being one of many subspecies of dragon, and I definitely remember wyrmslayers working on wyvern riders. Which also means no on the shark thing, at least in context of this manga, since it has wyvern eggs hatching externally.

I mean, they can transform from human to dragon and back within the space of a minute without damaging their clothing or any of the various alchemical salves or enchanted items in their pockets. There is clearly some shenanigans going on here, so as long as the egg fits inside the smaller of the two forms, I'm willing to believe it just works. That said, it's also possible that form switching prior to egg formation induces miscarriage, and human babies are already barely small enough to pass through human hips. There is a nonzero possibility that they have to avoid transforming for the early stages of pregnancy, then transform at the end to actually give birth.

Also birds are dinosaurs.

All birds are dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds. I don't know how old birds' mode of reproduction is, so while I would imagine all theropods are going to be pretty similar, the other branches might not be. Raptor egg farming yes, brachiosaurus egg farming uncertain.

You are right and I am wrong. There seems to be some translation shenanigans going on, but either way they're unambiguously dragons.

I never wondered about that since egg-laying is pretty much universal within Animalia (save most mammalians and whatever sponges, jellyfish, and other bizarro sea-dwellers do), but checking Wikipedia, dinosaur eggs appear to be pretty well-documented.

But that makes me wonder how mature a dragon chick is going to be. Humans are born absurdly immature and useless, birds too to a less extent, whilst reptiles usually hatch fully-featured. So labour and egg-laying could just be equivalents to get the embryo out at the same stage of development. (Given dragon lifespans I can accept 9 months to form an egg, with the time it takes for an infant to develop sensory-motor skills spent incubating, so ~2 years).

This works fine with the doujin here since wyverns at least appear precocial. The question is then whether the infant-egg can already shapeshift, and at which age it learns to control that skill.

I was talking about them laying unfertilized eggs specifically. Dinosaur eggs are well-documented, but my layman googling skills can't find much about dinosaur menstruation. It seems like fish and bugs do the chicken thing of just dropping the eggs regardless of what state they're in because the individual eggs are too cheap to care about, but the most I could find about non-avian reptiles was a vague "it's complicated". Tbh I am now irate the internet isn't telling me whether snake egg farms are a viable concept, someone please help.

It's a good question. From an evolutionary standpoint, so long as they have a method to avoid wasting resources on unfertilized eggs, I would lean towards the standard fantasy situation of dragons hatchlings being more or less fully-featured. Nothing small enough to get away with poaching a dragon's nest is going to be strong enough to actually pierce a dragon's egg, so long nesting periods are safer than trying to care for an immature hatchling. Which is where my concerns about size come in, because I'd expect a hatchling with 1-2 years of fetal development to be at least as big as a medium-sized dog, which is...not a comfortable fit for the human womb. I guess it's possible that dragons in human form give birth to dragons in human form, but I doubt it since...

The human transformation is a spell. According to the wiki, human magicians apparently broke the universe so badly the laws of physics can no longer properly support bodies and minds as powerful as dragons'. Staying in their natural forms for too long causes them to gradually lose their sanity, then eventually their sapience, which is what happened to wyverns and the other animalistic dragons. You can imagine all the dragon parents losing sleep over when is the right time to teach their children the human spell, and whether they messed up their kid by teaching it too late. Bonus points if they have to have a serious talk about how if you want to experiment with weed in college, that's your choice, but for goodness sake don't do all-night dragon form benders, that shit'll mess you up.

Tbf, I don't see how such a question could ever be conclusively answered without going full Jurassic Park. No idea what amazing methods archaeologists may come up with, but that shouldn't leave an unambiguous fossil record, no?

Tbh I am now irate the internet isn't telling me whether snake egg farms are a viable concept, someone please help.

Snakes do lay unfertilized, but they generally only lay during breeding season and when the conditions are right. Snakes are also capable of parthogenesis, a.k.a. reproduction without a male involved.

Well, some snakes do, at least. Herpetology isn't much of a focus in the alpine biotopes I'm active in.

Well, the wyvern hatchling was small enough to fit into two hands. Why would other dragons be different? Especially as moulting allows for faster growth, and with their lifespan, a dragon might be adolescent for decades.

And yes, I would either assume that the child transforms alongside the mother, so it is either baby-birth or egg-laying, never both (I presume egg-laying would be preferable).

The human transformation is a spell. According to the wiki, [...]

As I mentioned before, Nabateans contradict previous Manakete lore, with their progenitrix possibly even having an extraterrestrial origin. (I wanted to make an AnoKoro reference here, but holy heck, on here's a L Corp doujin about the Blue Star?!).

Nabateans transform without dragonstones. And whilst Sothis is originally dragon, her children appear to be human by "default". (The danger of madness is the same, though.) And even Manaketes can have children with normal humans, which are presumably born the human way. Incidentally, is there any case of a Manakete having plain-human offspring? M!Robin can have F!Morgan with Nah (yikes!) but she's already a half-human to begin with...

The dragon tripping balls is the last person I'd be worried about in such a situation...

Dragon egg this, bird eggs that... How about you have an eggcelent day instead? (Heh.)
