Hatching of Clutch 13
As the last few stragglers hurry into the sands, the dragons around begin to hum softly. The fire-lizards also take up the quiet song. The first white egg cracks open and all the candidates huddle together, intently staring at the blue that emerges. It waddles around before deciding to walk over to the boys' circle. It approaches Brinan first, but then stares at Gital. The boy shakes his head before softly murmuring, "of course not Granth, you don't walk funny! Let's go eat!" Three more eggs crack open, and once again, all the candidates turn to look at the hatchlings. The baby green walks over to the girls' circle and looks at them, while her brother, a handsome bronze makes a decided choice and Jemin is heard to say, "are you sure you want to help me with my chores, Halith?" The last hatchling, another bronze, walks right up to Janir and nudges him not too gently. "No, Jasith, that did not hurt me one bit!" the new bronzerider tells him. Meanwhile the green surveys the girls, then walks up to T'kayzi, "Wow! Sesith, sure I'll take good care of you, let's go eat!" The spectators talk softly among themselves, but stop as five eggs crack open at once. Two emerald greens, a gold queen and two browns stagger over to the candidates. The gold is the first to choose her rider. First, she looks at Valisia, but seems to shake her head and tumbles. Kylaran runs over to her and says, "Caroth, are you sure your OK?" The greens chose their riders simultaneously. Jeshat says, "Rhilath, you want food?" while Sonah murmurs at the same time, "oh, Domath, of course Jire will get along with you!" Meanwhile, the browns, also have no problem choosing their riders. "Crotith, you have a handsome coat!" Zinlynar says as he leads his rumbling brown off the sands. The second brown walks over to Metthew who says, "Guith, I will make a carving of you, it will be spectacular!" The three remaining girls are huddled together, while the boys stand and whisper among themselves. When one egg breaks open, revealing a tiny white, the girls watch the hatchling with fascination. Only after a shove by her mother, the white one approaches the girls, singling out Valisia, who comments, "are you sure you want me as your rider, Coquinath?" As they leave the sands, the remaining eggs begin to hatch. Jengra leads a hungry green off the hot sands saying, "don't worry Aphanith, food is right there, I promise!" A brown walks over to Cannor and nudges his hand, "Halin won't bother you when you are sleeping, Peridoth." Melina walks up to a straggling green, "Iorlas," she says to the flit on her shoulder, "I sure hope you'll get along with Mylonth! Qaedyen sees the baby bronze trip over his long tail, and he rushes to help him. "You won't trip again Migath, I can assure you!" The two blues are the last to be Impressed, and Gold Nepristh looks on, almost smiling. A blue looks up at Davinian who says "Prototh! Food? Yes, this way!" Brinan is the last candidate to Impress as the last blue boldly walks up to him. "Cedoth? Are you sure you are hungry?"
