Possible Ao Shin Teaser, Bard: Mountain
So, while this is theoretically possible, in my mind this has a 99% chance of not being true.
So, in case you haven't seen the Bard: Mountain trailer yet, you should. You will notice that there is a blue artifact that an old man was carrying. A Rioter revealed that this artifact may actually be an Egg.

The sphere is a dangerous magical amplifier.
Regarding: "We'll die ... without it." The sage failed in his duty when he tapped into the egg's power and took a life, resulting in the destruction of a nearby mountain.
All of the players saying Bard took the item away to prevent further catastrophe are 100% right.
So, given that this MAY now be an Egg, ( possible, not probable) the question that I had was what if this was Ao Shin's Egg. I mean, we don't really actually know that much about Ao Shin's lore, and we haven't necessarily been told that Ao Shin already exists. He could be hatching. We did learn, however, that he intervenes with runeterra when great troubles arise, just like Bard. What if though, when he arises, he actually hatches from the Egg.
And since he is a Celestial being, Bard didn't really do anything in the war, like save people from being killed by Noxians, but he may have potentially saved another Celestial Being like himself.
As I stated before, Possible, not Probable. I do however feel like this would be a pretty awesome piece of lore to incorporate into Bard's AND Ao Shin's background.
Let me know, is this actually a feasible assumption?
