Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Vee stood watching as dragon after dragon hatched, blues, greens, and browns, as well as a couple bronzes. Overall there was a nice mixture of color on the sands, and the antics of the hatchlings were enough to keep her entertained for hours. Every so often she would glance back at the still golden egg and wonder about the dragon inside. Then she decided wondering about a dragon she wasn't going to Impress was useless and in the same breath chastised herself for being so melancholy. She gave a little sigh as she looked at the still gold egg again, willing her to hatch but knew that like most golds, she would hatch when she was damn good and ready to do so.
She shifted her feet and crossed her arm over her middle as she turned her head to watch some of the boys Impress their dragons. There were so many of them that she began to wonder how long the hatching would take, though for her it would be over as soon as the gold chose one of them. Which was usually okay with her, the sands were hot and standing there for so long could sometimes be unbearable. Lost in her thoughts as she was, she missed the initial hatching of a bronze, but heard the laughter from all around and turned to look and had to laugh just a little as the poor thing had half his shell stuck on his head. She took her eyes from his to see a very nice brown hatch and go off to find his bonded. There was another round of laughter as the bronze hopped up and down to try and free himself of the annoying shell on his head. He finally managed it and went off to find his bonded just before a pair of greens hatched, followed by two more greens, one of which took a bit of a tumble when she hatched. Vee always felt bad when they fell or tripped over themselves. They were so wobbly! Luckily most of the time it was bruised pride and minor damages, but she still felt bad.
She watched as several greens hatched and made themselves known, followed by two more blues. Apparently one of them had upset one of the greens as she went screeching after one of the blues, resulting in her losing control of her legs and collided with a group of boys, apparently taking several of them down. She winced slightly at that. Apparently the healers would be kept busy today, tending cuts and scrapes on both human and dragon bodies. She had to admit, that at least the antics of the blues and greens were such that it made the long wait for the gold egg easier to bear. Things settled down after the last couple hatchlings bonded and were led off the sands, and then they waited for more eggs to hatch.
It was nearly an hour or so later that something finally started happening again. All the boys that were left came to attention quickly as an egg started to shake about rather violently. The egg fell over and rolled across the sands, the next thing she knew there was a brown up and moving. She saw another brown and a pair of blues, then there was suddenly a screening green who apparently was upset about something. She had gone running, as much as hatchling can, then tripped and fell into the gold egg. She gave an audible gasp and actually took a step, then stopped, waiting to see if the gold egg would crack. She wouldn't risk trying to help the green, she just hoped it wasn't hurt. She missed the rest of the hatchings across the sands, as her eyes were on the crack that suddenly went up the side of the gold egg. All the girls were on alert, all waiting with breath held and eyes shining.
The crack in the pale shell continued to grow and even Vee found herself holding her breath. When the shell finally broke a pale gold dragon greeted them by tumbling out onto the sand. The gold sat there where she landed, her eyes whirling madly as she looked at all the girls standing there. Vee had long ago uncrossed her arms and was now lightly tapping her fingers on her legs as the gold hatchlings apparently took her sweet time considering them all. It was unnerving the way she looked at them, though it was slightly amusing as well. She was in no rush to choose someone like some of her siblings had been. She shifted her feet as she waited, and soon enough the pale little gold moved toward them all. She frowned slightly, annoyed that some of the girls thought to get in her way, to crowd her, hoping to make an Impression. Didn't they know she likely already knew which one of them she wanted? She never did understand it, rushing the hatchlings, trying to force an Impression.
She was so used to being passed over at this point, that when the gold sidestepped the other girls and came in her general direction she glanced at the girls that were near her, who instantly crowded around her. She huffed and rolled her eyes at them, turning her gaze back to the gold. She was awfully close to them, nearly upon her and the other girls by her. She actually felt her heart jump as the hope welled up inside her just a bit. Then the gold tripped. Tripped on those ridiculously unstable legs, and gave a sharp cry as she hit the sand, right at her feet. The girls beside her gasped then both darted forward, but before she even realized what she was doing and without even thinking about it, Vee had dropped to her knees in the hot sand and scooped up the pale queen, using part of her robe to wipe away the sand stuck to her nose. The gold tilted her head slightly and Vee let out an audible gasp as she realized what was happening. Dark eyes met with whirling rainbow colored eyes and she felt full of warmth and adoration flood her heart as hot tears sprung to her eyes. Somewhere behind her or off to the side of her, she wasn't quite sure, she she thought she heard a rather loud whooping yell, but then again there was always a lot of ruckus when dragons Impressed.
"Me?", she asked rather stupidly as she finished wiping the sand from the hatchlings face, marveling in the fact that there was a baby gold dragon resting her head on her leg. Of course you. Why wouldn't I chose you? Why not indeed. Her lip trembled ever so slightly as a couple tears dripped down her cheeks. She had mostly given up ever Impressing, and for a moment she wasn't sure that she wasn't just standing there daydreaming that this had happened. That she had zoned out and someone else was actually walking off with Nadioth, rather than her sitting at her feet. Nadioth...she knew her name! Amusement coiled with a severe hunger that was rapidly growing. Why would you think I would choose any of those airheaded women over you? And of course you know my name, as I know yours Vaeyla.
Nadioth stood and purposefully, but gently, knocked the underside of Vee's chin with her nose, causing the dark haired woman to give an, "Oof.", before rubbing her chin. "What was that for?", she said, narrowing her eyes slightly. Because you are being ridiculous and I am hungry...and dirty.., the last bit add as she turned to walk away, picking her way through the sands as delicately as possible, wiggling the sand free from her feet with every step, leaving Vee standing now, but no less shocked. She shook her head and let herself smile and believe what she was seeing and feeling.
Are you coming? Her heart was racing even before she ran to catch up with her dragon, to lead her off the sands, a hand gently touching her shoulder to keep her steady. Her dragon! "Yes yes, I am coming Nadioth.", she said as she wiped her eyes quickly before searching the stands for K'ton, who she found beaming with something that looked like pride, before finally leaving. She was never going to hear the end of it.
