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!

He grumbled darkly as the humming started in the middle of the night, Butterball chattering with just as much indignation as her bonded felt, the fat little gold mantling her wings as Madelan shoved out of his cot. He growled as he slipped his robes onto his body and stuffed his feet into boots. Madelan made sure he looked as well as he could with the dark circles beneath his eyes as he glanced back at the empty cots that gold candidates used to occupy. A lot of death had rained down on Benden lately and Madelan wasn't sure what he felt about it.
He grimaced at the heat of the sands as he entered and made his way towards the eggs. He ignored more of the other candidates, though he did look frankly at one of the boys who stood close to him. He watched with keen interest as the other young man blushed hotly, a smirk growing on his harsh mouth before his attention was brought back to the eggs preparing to hatch. He stood pin-straight as a bronze burst his shell first, a pleased look on his face as his hazel eyes tracked the creature as it gave a tinny roar before moving to the candidates.
The bronze was followed swiftly by another egg shattering, a darkly marked blue making his own appearance.Blue01 blinked sleepily at the people surrounding him, squeaking quietly as he realized everyone was staring and hid his head beneath his wing just as an egg next to him split to reveal the rear end of a green. Green01 wiggled wildly, her rather large and rotund shape stuck inside her shell before her rage got the better of her and she punched sharply to free herself. Her pride was evident as she sat blinking in the brightness before standing and shaking a foot to rid herself of the excess egg goo that was hanging off her toe.
She huffed at her brother, smacking him lightly with her tail as she passed him and earned herself an annoyed squawk from her blue brother. Nose in the air,Green01 wasted no more time as she walked unerringly towards the group of boys. The crowd could hear a sharp exclamation from the boy she chose, his friends shoving him forward where he dropped to his feet in front of her for a quick hug before leading her away.
The blue didn't seem bothered by the entire process, his snout a little tender from her smack but that was okay. He could take his time, it would be fine and the little blue started to groom his toes while two more eggs shattered to reveal two more greens that were near identical.Green02 and Green03 chittered at each other before moving away to sniff and snuffle around the boys while the bronze moved through the boy.
He picked up his pace, knocking a hopeful Madelan off his feet with a slam of his wing, and careened through the boys next to him. Just before the bronze could make his choice, or was it at exactly the same time?, the third green,Green03 gave a triumphant shriek as she ran to a boy with tears in his eyes. The bronze's roar was annoyed by his sister reaching hers first though no doubt, Bronze01 made a much better choice.
The little dark blue finally finished cleaning his toes and heaved himself to his feet to walk with purposeful stomps towards the boys. He sniffed lightly at Madelan's feet where the candidate struggled to his feet with his own annoyed sniff. The boy who was his other half ran towards him andBlue01 bounced with glee as they moved off to the feeding buckets.
Madelan brushed the sand from his robes angrily just as an egg near him popped its top to reveal yet another green.Green04 peered at the crowd before stretching to crack the rest of her shell from her body before preening before the crowd. She was going to be a show boat without a doubt as she performed for her audience with little bounces and leaps before darting with a happy chirp at the boy who was running towards her.
Madelan sighed as his shoulders dropped as boys impressed all around him. He truly was going to be a failure, wasn't he? he thought to himself asGreen02 continued her search.
