The Great Egg Hunt

Every year in the land of Drakos around the beginning of Spring, the Great Egg Hunt was held. Citizens from the far reaches of the land gathered at the capital, eager to test their skills. For all citizens above the age of ten could participate in the Hunt.
The Hunt was simple. Scattered across the land were twenty-three dragon eggs. Whoever found an egg and returned to the capital with it would be admitted into the Drakonian Order. They would raise the hatchling within the walls of a place only known as the Pit. None knew what lie within the Pit but those of the Order, but whimsical tales of fantastic feasts had been spread in awed whispers throughout the land.
When the Hunt began, two siblings were quickly left behind by the other participants. Having only turned ten the day before, this set of twins were excited to be in the Hunt. The younger of the two was a boy named Amil: who had dreamed of finding a egg since for many years. His sister was named Anisa. She had little interest in dragons or the Pit, and was only participating so that she could help her brother.
The two children searched high and low wherever the went, passing through areas that had already been scoured by dozens of others. As night fell, they made camp in a little glen.
"This is hopeless!" Amil groaned, falling to the ground with a huff. His sister set down her pack.
"Its only the first day of the Hunt." Anisa reminded him as she began to gather fuel for a fire.
"But we're too slow!" Amil said with a wave of his arm. "By the time we make it somewhere, its already been stripped of any eggs!" He left out another groan and laid his arm over his eyes.
Anisa sighed as she bent down and tried to pull a broken branch that was caught under a bush. "The Hunt doesn't end until the last day of the month. We have just as much of a chance as anyone else to find an egg." She told him, her forehead wrinkling as the branch refused too budge. Increasing her efforts, Anisa spoke. "Come on, let go-" she let out a yelp as the branch suddenly broke away and caused her to fall. She rubbed her hip and looked at the branch. But before she could scold it for being difficult, her eyes were drawn back to the bush.
"Amil!" Anisa called as she pushed back a portion of the bush. As he brother joined her, his eyes widened. For hidden under the bush where the broken branch had been caught was a shallow dip, wherein were two dragon eggs.
