Rhaedalyn gave a squeal of delight when she saw the little gold appear on the Sands. It was a much different experience watching a Hatching now that she had her own dragon. There was still a bit of nerves as she wondered if all of the eggs would hatch successfully but the pressure of making sure she Impressed one of the beautiful creatures was gone and she could watch with a more relaxed stance on it. There had been one clutch she couldn’t Stand for since it didn’t have a gold but that time had been filled with a sense of failure. What if another gold didn’t show up until she was too old to risk Impression on? She would have been a failure and a waste of time and resources of the small Weyr and she’d be exiled for certain!
Past fears were forgotten when the gold curled up on herself and some dragons started calling out to her, causing Rhaedalyn to panic. “Something’s wrong! What’s going on?” She wrapped her arms around Aradissicath’s neck and looked around frantically for a sign that someone knew what was happening and that it was fine. R’nya would know! He knew everything. Before an answer could come, the gold was on the move, running and stumbling in a beeline toward someone. Rhaedalyn was holding her breath as she watched and suddenly laughed with a cheer, clapping her hands in excitement and relief as Peorray looked after the newest gold dragon to join the Weyr.
“She reminds me a bit of you,” Rhaedalyn commented softly before giving Aradissicath a kiss on the nose. Her sweet girl had made a bit of an entrance as well and stumbled much the same way. It was, of course, a natural thing to do when fresh from the egg but Aradissicath had yet to outgrow that trait and Rhaedalyn suspected she never would. She didn’t mind though, it was endearing and made her girl uniquely hers.
“Congratulations, Okalinath!” Rhaedalyn beamed at the other golden dragon. Her daughter was so pretty and Impressed to a lovely woman. She didn’t know Peorray that well but enough was known to judge it a good match that would see Okalinath’s baby well taken care of. “This is off to a wonderful start!”
