· Quote

Tarika woke early, before sunrise and had headed into her office to go over some reports. Looking out the window, she realized that the sun had been up for a few hours now...and she hadn't even gone over to the dining hall yet to eat.  

Tarika stood, stretched and then headed out and across the Green to the Dining Hall to grab a bite to eat, before she had to head back to her office to get some more work done.

As she entered the Dining Hall, she greeted the Head Cook, Doryndra, as she grabbed a tray of food, sat down and ate quietly. When she finished, she headed back to her office...but no sooner had she sat in her chair behind her desk, she received the excited mental words of Jalaran...brief as they were.

{T'ka it's near time!} Jalaran stated. 'What? You sure?' she asked her dragon. {Never been more sure in my life...it is near time...young will hatch!} Jalaran replied.

Tarika jumped up from her chair, and ran from her office. Out on the Green, she ordered some of the riders just coming in to see to the bleachers and getting them set up in the Hatching Cavern. She then hurried to Jalaran's side.

As she entered the cavern, she found Jalaran sitting behind the eggs, looking down at them. 'How long do you think?' she asked her. {You have time to get things set up!} Jalaran replied as she lifted her head to Tarika.

Just then, the riders she had stopped and asked to bring the bleachers in, had arrived with them. "Place them right there along that wall, please!" she said to them, as she turned back to her queen.

When the bleachers were set up, she then took her place on the highest bench, and waited. She gave Jalaran a nod, and as if on cue...the dragon began to call the whole Warren together...then telling each dragon to let their riders know it was time.

Tarika gave a proud smile at Jalaran, as she waited for the others to arrive. As she thought about today being the perfect day, as everyone was in the Warren today, she began to get a bit antsy...the waiting was getting to her.

Demetar was just walking around the green stretching a bit when he got a messege from Zed telling him the hatching will be starting soon and he didn't wait a second. With his fastest sprint he ran toward the hatchling cavarn reaching it time to find himself first but with another few riders around too. he looked around the cavren looking at the eggs then at the beutifull dragon behind them. He firstly bowed to dragon showing his highest respect for the amzing queen the he turned around and bowed to the warrenlady.

"So I guess it is time now isn't it!" he said"When Zed hatched it was only the forest and I to watch now it is a whole warren!"

He looked at the bleachers but decided not to sit down till the others came. He again faced the eggs awed by how many there were! It was like the day in the academy were all those magnificent weapons were lying there for choosing and one by one the blades chose them kind of like now. He then stared back at the warrenlady.

"I can see your very anxious!" but he himself felt the same way since he has never seen a warren hatching. he brought his scimitars again but this time they were well hidden under his green cloak and wearing his finest suite of black admantite for this special ocassion

Tarika turned to the entrance of the hatching Cavern, just in time to see Demetar enter. She watched as he bowed to Jalaran, who in turn bowed her head back to him as she sent out another bugle to call for the others.

Jalaran turned back to Tarika, {Get him off the sands} Jalaran told Tarika as swung her head to look at Demetar for a moment. Tarika gave a small laugh, 'Yes ma'am!' she thought back to her.

As Demetar turned to Tarika, he bowed...she in turned bowed her head in acknowledgment. "Morning Demetar...and yes Jalaran says it's close to time. As soon as the WingLeaders and the Head Searcher is here...she will then call for the Searchlings. Come sit up in the bleachers...only the Searchlings are allowed to stand on the sands...and Jalaran won't be happy if you stayed there. No need to have her grouchy on such a joyous day!" she said with a slight laugh.

The morning was the start of another day for Agvnige. She did as she usually did every morning got up snuck over to Tarika’s apartments for a bath and then dressed in a simple tan outfit made up of leggings, a shirt that was clsoe to a tunic with a belt around her waist that would hold her sword during a battle, training or a scouting mission. She had then set to work repairing her chainlink armor that protected her and allowed her enemies to be stunned by her figure. After this was done, Agvnige then headed over to the medical house to make sure they had stocked supplies and that the beds were clean. She knew they hadn’t had a battle in a long time but well she would rather be well prepared then to find out that they run out of stocks half way through a battle. For Aggie tending to both human and Dragon injuries and sick was very important.

She was on her way to speak with the Leathershop owner, Jareth about a new saddle for Silver Wing for the dragon had gotten a bit to large for her current saddle. She would never reach the Leathershop for halfway throught he green Silver Wing sent her a rather rushed message which Aggie ahd to slow her down to get it correctly the third time. ~Aggie,it’stimeJalaraniscallingtothewarrenandthedragons.Shesaidit’stimeOhcomeonIwanttoseeyouknowwedo n’tseemanyhatchingsandI’mtobeanauntagain.~ ‘Silver Wing slow down please I can’t understand you.’

Two more times later, ~I said it’s time, I’m to be an aunt come on!~ ‘Sil you’re an aunt anytiem Jalaran has a clutch. But I’m coming.’ Agvnige chuckled as she turned and headed to the cavern. She hoped she wasn’t to late since it had taken a bit of time to calm Silver Wing down who always got excited during the hatchings. Of course Aggie was sure this was because Silver Wing had never had a mating or a clutch of her own even if she was of the right age to have one.

Arriving at the cavern, Agvnige headed fo rthe bench where her cousin and Warrenlady sat. Bowing to Jalaran with a few soft words to the Queen. “Greetings Ma’lady. I fine clutch you have there. Surely to be grand dragons everyone one of them” Taking her seat next to Tarika but leaving space for M’ren who she was sure would rather sit beside the Lady then anyone else. “Tarika, calm down before you loose anything you might have eatten.” She paused and then groaned remembering the last tiem they had had a hatching festival… “You’re not going to try and get me in a gown again are you?”

Tarika turned to look pass Demetar just in time to see her cousin hurry in and up into the bleachers with her, taking a seat next to her, leaving enough space for whoever might sit next to her...she could only guess her cousin did this so M'ren could sit next to Tarika.

"Agzy!" she said low enough so Demeter couldn't hear her. She gave her cousin a smile, "I'm calm enough...just a bit excited...as I always am."she replied with a smile

At her next words, she turned her plain smile into one of mischief. "Of course dear cousin...besides..." she said as she leaned in a bit closer and lowered her voice to a whisper. "Jes'ret might like to finally see you in one!" she said still smiling mischievously.

Demetar followed the warrenladys stare just in time to see the beta wingleader run past him. He then followed the warrenlady's directions and climbed up to the highest point on the bleachers but then turned and sat on the edge of the last bleacher. Mainly because he didn't feel to say something to make the beta wingleader or the warrenlady on a bad mood in this day but instead watched the sands picturing it a forest. and he began in a low voice to sing to the forest godess he praid to.

"The green and black canopy
as high as the eye can see

Chirping all around the trees
Are little birds that love to sing

Then at night when all is black
You come out to me

Tell me with your amazing voice
To grow a little tree"

He stopped and turned around maybe no one heard him or at least he hoped. He turned back toward the eggs and looked at them all. There were some black, some blue, some red and they all looked so peacful. He looked back up at Jalaran and examined her a bit. Her indigometalic scales looked so smooth to him he could mistake it for glass.

"that is an amzing dragon.." he said under his breath

Outside maybe a mile away Zed was laying down on the soft grass of the green. She just finished eating and was very excited for what Demetar will tell her when all this was done. She looked around her and stood up and took off for flight. As she flew around the cool morning air she could see the hatchling cavern but knew it would not be wise to fly there untell maybe another dragon with his ar her rider came.

<So how is everything?> she asked Demetar

*It will start very shortly dodn't worry ill fill you in as much as I can when it comes!*

Asralyn all but shoved Jesseret in through the entrance to the hatching cavern.  <Come ON!> the dragon said, giving the searcher another bump with his nose.  <We have to get in position!>

*What position?* Jesseret asked nervously.  As far as he knew, Asralyn didn't have to do anything...whereas he, Jesseret, had to stand nervously counting the incoming searchlings.  He *thought* he had enough of them, but they never all seemed to be in one place at any one time so he could do a good count.

<I have to go over and play the part of the proud sire,> Asralyn told him smugly, as he trotted over to be near..but not *too* near....to where Jalaran kept watch over her clutch.  He didn't think she'd bite him if he got any closer, but it didn't do to take any chances.  <Um, so, maybe we could go to the lake after this is all done?>  Then he carefully arranged himself, staring out over the area where where the searchlings would come in with an expression on his face he'd copied from a vulture he'd seen recently.

Jesseret, meanwhile, took position near the door, waiting to help any of his searchlings who needed assistance.  This was a proud moment for him, when his searchlings would (hopefully) become dragonriders, and he (hopefully) wouldn't get taken to task for not providing enough of them...

Tarika watched as Demetar made his way up to them on the top bench, but sitting a ways from them. She then turned her attention back to Jalaran, smiling as she bugled once more. It was then she heard a low voiced singing, and turned back to Demetar.

She watched him curiously, thinking about how wonderful of a voice he had. When he finished, he looked around as if hoping no one had heard him...yet someone had heard him...she had heard him. She gave him an approving smile. "Excuse me Aggie!" she said as she stood and went over to the young man.

Sitting next to him for a moment, as she spoke. "That's a wonderful voice you have there Demetar! I wonder if you might have a go at singing at the Hatching Festival later this evening?" she asked him with a smile.

Just then, Jes'ret had come into the Hatching Cavern being shoved by the snout of Asralyn. And then Asralyn went over to Jalaran, though not too close to the eggs.

She watched as Jalaran lowered her head slightly, as if in a bow...to Asralyn. {The lake would be wonderful!} Jalaran replied as she gestured that he may come nearer and stand with her, behind the clutch of eggs.

She knew that normally, other queens wouldn't even allow another dragon near her eggs, but times were different...and she was different. Asralyn had sired the younglings inside those eggs...it should only be right that he be there.

Tarika turned to look down at Jes'ret and gave a smile as her eyes then went to her cousin. She raised her voice slightly, just enough for Aggie to hear her, "Oh Agzy...." she smiled as she used her nickname that Tarika had dubbed her with, knowing that either she'd get some reaction from it or that she'd turn her attention to the Head Searcher. "Jes'ret's here!" she teased with a playful smile. She was in an excellent mood, hatchings always put her in these types of moods...and she rather enjoyed trying to get her cousin back for all the times she teased her.

She gave a soft laugh as she turned back to Demetar, still waiting for his response.

Demetar turned to see the Warrenlady come up to him and he nodded his head. He then looked back up to the warrenlady and was completly caught off guard by the question he almost fell of the side of the bleacher. He was completly amazed! He has never been asked to sing and his was just a normal prayer. He really didn't know how to answer the question afraid if he says no he would hurt her feelings and if he said yes he might emberess himself but something did remind him of something back in his village.there were festivals were you had to make something and then present it. He looked up to the warrenlady who was sitting right by the beta wingleader again. If she asked him to draw blades and fight three riders he would do it easy but maybe if she allowed him some time hell be able to write one.

"I guess if I can quickly write one.." he said "It would be in the evening right?" he asked but he asked one more question. "are there going to be many people peoplepresentinglike a dedication or just me?"

As he asked his final question he finally noticed the head searcher had arived but sat in his thoughts trying to write something in his head

"Atleast ill read one if i remember one or just make one up...." he said back to the warrenlady

Cont. From Dakon's Apartment.  Post


Koth landed several dragon paces away from the entrance of the hatching cavern, his wings flapping gently as he tried to come in without throwing up a cloud of dust.  He thumped heavily onto the ground, sinking for several seconds before stopping.  He began to crouch, but Dakon was already swinging down from the saddle, his cloak flapping as he shimmied down a rope he had tethered to the side of the saddle.

Several people stared at his tabard and new armor, but his only response was a polite nod before he and Koth moved into the huge hatching cavern.  Koth moved off to the side with the other dragons in attendance while Dakon moved towards the bleachers.  His sword and daggers got several disapproving looks, but his shirt and cloak got several times that in stare.  

The front of the blue tabard was plain except for a open dragon wing over his heart.  The shirt was bordered with silver threads that formed tiny geometric patterns that wove down the edge of the shirt in a line.  The great cloak was snow white with a dark blue lining.  A large , black geometric starburst was in the center, and a a blue dragon in flight was stamped over top.  Several people looked back and forth between Dakon and Koth, seeing the similarity in coloring.

Dakon nodded to the Warren Lady and the Queen, then shifted his eyes slightly to Agvnige, his flight leader.  His eyes lingered a moment longer then was absolutely necessary, but he quickly covered it up with a respectful nod before coming to stand next the bleachers.  From here he could watch everyone and the hatching without getting in the way of the searchlings.  Koth eyed his over protective rider from the dragon spectator area, then went back to his discussion with another dragon.

Demetar stared at the new coming rider and looked at is armor. It looked preety well made but the material didn't seem familiar..maybe mythiral..He looked a bit at the knives strapped around his belt and noticed that it familiared him to someone else but he couldn't remember. His eyes lingered abit on the cloack and found that even his finally made one could not much the time it must have taken to make that one. He didn't really linger on the armor which looked abit like his only much heavier for a rnager coul not walk around with an armor that haeavy that is why they were a medium weight armor or sometimes light weight. his eyes though stopped on the sword. He couldn't see the metal yet but the handle looked amazingly carved. his scimitars held no shame to a weapon like this for they too where finally made but he has never seen a sword so well made as that. Maybe once but he wasn't sure. He looked upon the warrior a bit more seing much skill in him with his weapon. Something thought did slip from his mouth but it was no compliment neither insult.

"Is that onyx?" he said to the rider"You sword is it onyx?" he wasn't sure why he asked that but he just wanted to know

The time was now Scar was insistent that M'ren get a move on.  The Alpha wingleader had only just gotten back from patrol though he encountered no problems he had the odd feeling of been watched several times during the flight.  Pulling on his long leather gloves and tightening his boot straps and sliding a dagger in the sheath hidden there he prepared himself for a long night.    

He couldn't help but chuckle at himself as he buckled his falchon to his hip tossed on his black leather cloak ran his hands though his short cut hair. “A sight you would make if not for the scar on your face.” The large man hurried out of his room to the waiting dragon.

Its about time,  I swear they were going to hatch with out you.  Scar chastised his rider.

We have never been late before I don't plan on starting now.  M'ren responded and received a 'humph' for a return argument.

The Alpha leader hoisted himself up the side of the lavender scales as the muscles rippled across his arms.  He slid into his saddle ignoring the harnesses.  They wouldn't be needed for this flight.

The buckets ready? He asked scar knowing the dragon would relay his message to those preparing the food.   Hatchings were very hungry when they were first born and the searchings would need to be ready to feed them.  Yet, they must be careful not to let them gluten only to eat there fill enough so that they will grow tiered and sleep.  If they let the young ones gluten they could grow angry and the bond which is so fragile in the beginning be broken.

Yes,  and the Searcher is ready as well though a bit hesitant. Scar answered him.


The rushing of wind as Scar glided down from his perch with M'ren on his back. They took a wide circle so the wingleader could also see that the home guard were in place.  He also took note of the searchlings gathered below.  Soon enough they would be meeting their bond mates and from them on their life will never be the same.  When the large lavender dragon was low enough the wingleader pulled his leg over the horn of the saddle and slid gently down near the warrenlady taking his spot resevered for the Head Trainer and Alpha wingleader.  He bowed to the queen her metallic scales glistening.   Scar let out a roar announcing his presence then landed on a perch as though challenging any who would dare try to knock him off.  

Show off, M'ren sent him and smiled which he thought might not more like a monster leering on his face.

Dakon looked over at the green cloaked figure, who had it's hood pulled up.  He had seen the man before, almost always cloaked as he went off on another mission.  The man used two deadly looking scimitars, a style not common among sword wielders.  Dakon knew the man relied on speed more then power, but that did not make him any less deadly.

Demetar thought over the metal he heard of once...Where has he seen it or heard it..The name was fammiliar to him he was sure. Onyx was also an extremely strong metal but he could tell the man's blade was no different when he remembered it. He must have been or still is a blademaster..ALl knew of the guild of swords even his war village and the other village up in the cloder reagion but he has not seen a blade like that in years. He looked over the blademastrer again and jumped off the bleachers and went up to the blademaster.

"Greeting blademaster" He said"My name is Demetar" He could sence great skill around and would swear again he has seen skill like this before but he was sure not from him.

Dakon stared at Demeter calmly for a moment, then smiled slightly, an almost imperceptible curling of the corners of his mouth.

"Greeting's to yourself as well Demetar.  You may call me Dakon, but please do not call me blademaster.  What I am now is a guardian of Ismene Warren.  If you insist on giving me a title, Rider will suffice."

Shifting his stance slightly, Dakon's cloak swung around to shield his weapons and armor from view.  "Perhaps this is not the most appropriate time for a conversation.  I believe the hatching is about to begin, so it might be best if you reclaimed your seat."

Tarika gave a smile when Demetar answered..."Yes this evening!" she replied, then turned and retook her seat.

She then noticed Dakon enter, she gave him a nod of her head. "Dakon...nice to see you!" she said from her seat, which was not far from where he stood.

Just then, Scar came into view and then M'ren dropped into the seat next to her, taking up his rightful seat and position. "Cutting it close are you not?" she teased him. Oddly, Aggie barely had left much room for him...which meant he was particularly close to her.

She gave him a smile as she noticed this, their sides actually touching. Glancing at Aggie, she knew the woman did this purposely...knowing that she did it mainly so she could tease her and M'ren.

Turning back to look at Jalaran, who's scales shined from the oiling she had given her that morning. Soon the Searchlings will be filing in, as she was sure Jalaran had called to them.

She tried waiting patiently, but she still felt excited, as she had always done during hatchings, since the very day she had stood for her very own...and soon joined with the queen, now known as Jalaran. She smiled affectionately at her queen.

Gawyn had been sitting in the Searchling's Barracks trying to decide where to go next.  He knew he should probably have been out doing chores, but seeing as he'd only woken up about ten minutes ago, he figured he'd risk the Wing Leader's wrath at being late.

Then, in the distance, he heard a dragon call.  Wondering what it was all about, the young man walked out into the crisp air, and looked around, before a voice not his own exploded in his head.  He listened, vaguely wondering if he might be going mad, but did as the voice told him.

Heading back into the Barracks, the boy changed out of his blue tabard with gold lining bearing his family's coat of arms, and his black trousers, and pulled on the plain white pants and tunic he'd been given for just this occasion.

Leaving the barracks, Gawyn made his way to the Hatching Cavern, where he stood just outside the enterance until he was given instructions.  

Looking in, he noticed the cave was filling rapidly with all sorts of Warren Folk.  With gigantic dragons diving and swooping in his stomach, the boy set foot in the cavern, and went to stand on the warm sands in front of the bleachers.

Kaiari had woke early that morning and headed over to the Med Center. Today her chores included re-stocking the supplies on the shelves there, make beds in there, clean, etc...

As she was in the middle of restocking the shelves, with the cleaning done and beds made, she heard the bugle of a dragon...whish sounded a bit distant...and others answering it.

Wondering what was going on, she put the last of the bandages on the shelves and headed outside, to find people entering the Hatching Cavern.

Suddenly, she heard a voice in her mind...which at first she had thought someone was beside her talking to her, but when she looked she found no one there.

Listening to the voice, she raced to the barracks and donned the white leather leggins and tunic, given to her by the Warren that all the feamale Searchlings wore when they stood for the hatchings.

She took a brucough her long blonde hair, then raced out and across the Green to the Hatching Cavern. Stopping just outside to catch her breath, she felt just a bit nervous, her stomach knotting just a bit...nothing serious though.

She then continued on inside, giving Jesseret a smile and a small nod. Looking up into the bleachers, she found others...among them were both Wingleaders and the WarrenLady. Giving them a smile as well, she continued on, and then stood beside Gawyn on the warm sands, in front of the bleachers.

Looking at Gawyn, she gave a small smile. "Nervous?" she asked him quietly.

Lucio had done his exercises that morning alone and then headed out to do his chores after having a rather early breakfast. He had been assigned to help the stable master and then the blacksmith. He was done and was about to head to the bathhouse when people begant o run by him. He wondered what was going ons o he stopped a young lad. Being told what was happening, Lucio raced to the barricks and grabbed the white leggings, white leather boots and tunic he had been presented on his first day at the warren. He then ran back to the bathhosue to get cleaned up. After he was done he got dressed and then fixed his hair.

With this done and himself clean, Lucio made a mad dash to the Hatching cavern. He remembered the time him and Kaiari had discussed sneaking in and was glad they hadn’t been able to do it. Stopping at the mouth of the cave he bent over placing his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath as he listened to what he had to do next. Nodding he sighed though his mouth was dry he stood up straight and then headed into the cave on to the warming sands. Seeing Kaiari he smiled at her and walked over to her. Giving her a hug and then turning to Gawyn he held his hand out to shake it. “Hope you get what you wanted man.” He then took his place next to Kaiari on the sand as he waited for the hatching to begin.

Agvnige groaned at Tarika as she dared to use Jess as bait to get her cousin into a dress. “If that’s the case then I dare you to wear something that reveals a bit of that chest you were so blessed with dear cousin… I know M’ren would rather love a peak at them. If he doesn’t already get peeks at them during your private meetings.” She then gave her cousin’s side a poke before the woman moved to sit next to Demeter.

Aggie was starting to wonder where the others where when her cousin’s taunting voice rung inside her ear canal. Looking at her with a glare at her nickname she was about to say something when Tarika mentioned Jess. Looking up she smiled as she watched the Queen with Jess’s dragon. She then looked over at Jess and couldn’t help but smile a bit. He looked good dressed up for the hatching and bounding that would hopefully take place soon.

Silver Wing sat among a few of the other dragons that belonged to some of the beta Wing riders and then turned her head to notice Koth had arrived. Nodding a hello to the younger Beta dragon she snuggled into the area and then turned to start a conversation with one of the other females that had never had young herself and was needed to be talked down to a calmer tone since she was more hyper then Silver Wing had been earlier.

The whole warren was now racing toward the hatching cavern as word spread.  Sylvia grinned, having seen this played out dozens of times during her lifetime.  Not that each time previously hadn't been exciting, but none compared to today when she would stand for the first time to present herself as a candidate.

She realized that she didn't really need to go stand there, as she'd witnessed before, a dragon will find his or her rider regardless of whether they are standing in the sands or not. Yet, it was a special honor to be one selected to stand.  She knew she'd had dragon affinity for two years now, but her mother had cautioned that she was too young to join.

Perhaps none of the hatchlings would pick her this time either.  She knew she'd be disappointed if it didn't happen during this hatching, but she was confident that she would one day be a dragonrider.  She just hoped that today was the day!

She slipped in with the crowd and made her way down to the front of the bleachers and then out onto the sands to join the other candidates.  She smiled a greeting at Kaiari, Dematar, Lucio and an especially warm smile to Gawyn, recalling how well he had sat in the saddle the previous day.

She tried to remain calm and relaxed, but now that she was actually standing there, looking at the eggs which were only now beginning to rock, she felt her excitement rising.  "Oh, I hope my dragon is among these hatachlings!"

Tarika turned back to Aggie, seeing as she hadn't the chance to say something before she went to speak with Demetar, and she had ignored the poke her cousin had given her side.

"Agzy!" she said, leaning across M'ren slightly to talk to her. "We will speak of your words later...just so you know!" she said, as she pressed her hand to the front of her tunic, at the neckline to keep from revealing anything.

She then straightened as the Searchlings began to file in. Smiling at each one, her gaze then fell on the eggs, and Jalaran along with Asralyn, crouching behind the eggs.

She realized that Asralyn may have been the first male dragon, or any dragon in history who had been allowed so close to the eggs. She gave the two proud parents to be a smile, as she looked down at the eggs.

Yes...it was starting. She could see on of the eggs starting to rock...and yes another. She was getting more anxious now.

Jalaran stood peering up at the crowd that had came to watch the special event. Then as the Searchlings began to file onto the sands, she turned her head to Jes'ret. It seemed he had done his duty and got the candidates she had asked for...though she'd never pride him on that.

Suddenly, the rocking of an egg caught her attention...speaking to the you within...soothing it and telling it that it was indeed time for it to enter the world and meet their bondmates.

She watched as another egg began rocking and soon the others were rocking, clicks and squeaks could be heard from within, though it is doubtful with all the hubbub within the cavern among the humans and the other dragons, that those clicks and squeaks could be heard by any other than she and Asralyn...who were the closest to the eggs.

Watching as the eggs began to rock more vigorously, then suddenly a crack in the first one, appeared. Jalaran watched anxiously, waiting for the young inside to hatch fully, and to see which of the candidates it would head to.

As Kaiari wated beside Gawyn, she stared at the eggs, not even noticing that Lucio had now entered, until he had given her a hug. Her body tensed at being touched in such a way...even thoughhe now knew why she did...she still hadn't overcome that slight problem of hers...but she was working on it.

She smiled as he let go and held out a hand for Gawyn to shake, then took his place next to her. Next came Sylvia, she was half tempted to switch places with the girl so she could stand next to Gawyn, but wasn't sure if that would be allowed. As it was the queen was watching them, as was everyone else.

So she just gave the girl a kind smile, and then smiling even more as she spotted the other woman's special smile at Gawyn.

Hearing her words, Kaiari turned her head to her, leaning slightly forward to talk to her past Lucio. "I'm sure you will...I have confidence that you will!" she said kindly to her.

Smiling again, she asked just as the queen's gaze went to the eggs. "Want to stand on my other side?" she whispered, as she jerked her head a bit, indicating between her and Gawyn.

Straightening again, and waiting to see if Sylvia would actually sneak behind Lucio and herself and take up the space between her and Gawyn, she turned her gaze back to the eggs.

She noticed one beginning to rock back and forth, and then another...and soon the rest were following suit. Kaiari's stomach began to knot again with nervousness, as she waited anxiously for the first to hatch and to see who the hatchling inside would be choosing.

Sylvia grinned at Kaiari's whisper, and seriously thought about doing as she suggested.  Just a she had decided to slip past Kai and Lucio the eggs began to shake and cracks began to form.

Her entire being now was focused on the eggs.  Boys would just have to wait.  Perhaps her dragon was among those struggling to emerge.

A shell cracked and one little head popped out, but as much as she wanted it to be hers, the dragonet did not croon or call to her.  No, that one was not to be her dragon.

<No, I'm over here.>  A voice softly whispered in the back of her mind.  She knew that voice. It had been in her dreams for several days now.

Her eyes scanned the eggs searchingly, and finally focused on an average sized gray and peach speckled egg with three long cracks across it.   As she watched it rocked and more cracks appeared an finally a snout pushed its way through.

It tumbled out onto the sand, and with a wordless cry Sylvia ran to help her.

Yes, a her.  Sylvia knew her at once.  "Julethia."  She called her name as the cinnamon-red hatchling awkwardly uncurled.

Juli blinked up at Sylvia with her golden eyes, her sweet face tilted as she regarded her human.

<You are beautiful!>  Sylvia told her.

<I am hungry!> Juli announced.

Sylvia laughed and turned to look for someone with a bucket of meat scraps for her new bondmate.

Seeing the Hatchlings burst forth from their eggs,  M'ren took his horn and blew a couple short blast.  As he did so several riders that had been waiting off to the side rushed forward with buckets of meat to hand to the newly joined rides.  

The wingleady watched noting that some of the new riders had to be brought about a little to realize they had to take the bucket and feed the hatchling.  

The dragons were the size of a small pony but would grow to there full hight in about months time it would take the rest of their lift however to fill out.  For younger dragons could always be told by there slimmer bodys.  Old dragons like scar was wide with muscle though there were a few older dragons then scar that were slightly bigger.

He smiled over at the warrenlady,  who looked radient as she watch the dragons.  It was hard to imagine that it wasn't long ago that he watched her in the sands.  Something was happening with his own feelings toward her and he didn't know exactly what that was.

As though noticing him watching her she turned his way slightly.  He smiled, hoping it didn't look to much like a snarl on his hard face.  "Its going to be an interesting year I can tell he said and went back watching as the riders moved amoung the new riders giving advice and helping them with getting more buckets.  Reminding them to feed them just enough and not to much.

Demetar left to his seat a bit wandering when the hatching would begin. It was hard waiting so long for something this big. He always wandered what happened here in hatchings and then he figured it out. Villagers and riders came filling in living him no place to seat so he had to stand by the bleachers watching as all the searchlings came in. First gawyn and last was Sylvia. They all seemed so nervous and he began to feel happy for them himself. He stared a bit at Sylvia seing her smile to Gawyn and hisd a small smile and then watched as Lucio hugged Kairi and something inside him bubbled. He really wanted now to maybe bring "her" to here but he knew she would never leave her parents. He then looked up and maybe a bit hard of hearing he heard the beta wingleader's words sometimes caught off by the noise and again hid a laugh this time. Suddenly though all seemed to get quiet and Demetar looked up at the eggs. They were hatching. He looked up a bit more to see the first egg hatch or atleast the first egg to actually be joined and saw Sylvia run up to the hatchling in help and figured this must have been her new hatchling dragon. He stared at the others waiting to see their dragons hatch.
