As she watched, her eyes torn between slowly working the glass out of the canine's hide and the eggs rocking, she could feel the tension and excitement ramping up. Once the canine was clean of any glass they could find, she slid back down onto the seat, staying close to the canine in case she got excited when the eggs began to shatter. Over the almost three hours as people did the last of their filing in, she noticed them spreading out, bets being laid - it was definitely close.
Close enough that very shortly the sound of cracking could be heard all around. Eyes wide, she watched as several began to spin and roll, spiderwebs seeming to ripple across the hard surfaces. One of them had a foot poke through - immediately the crowd gasped. The seriousness of the situation was upon them. As everyone watched and waited, it was then the eggs decided to put upon a show.
One of them exploded outward very suddenly, revealing one of the little golds. Gasps were heard everywhere - a Gold, the first to hatch? The poor little Queen seemed terrified at the huge amount of people watching her birth, and shook in terror. There was a huge outpouring of support, however, and she soon wobbled her way to hide with one of the candidates - who it was, she couldn't see from this angle. But a cheer of approval rose from the sands. Another Queen was never a bad thing! What a great way to start the Hatching!
Shortly after, three of the more busy eggs decided it was time to join their clutchmate. Three greens hatched in quick succession, sending them dipping and diving through the sands to look for their soon-to-be other halves. She clapped and beamed, trying to encourage the littles, to let them know that they could do it, they would find their destined! Hatchings were very exciting, she reflected, a soft smile on her face.
