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!

As in so many Turns before, Vee stood and watched as the eggs started hatching, one after another. She had been very happy for Peorray when she received the first of the two gold hatchlings. She could still remember the response she received from the egg, and though it was slightly bittersweet she smiled as she watched the pair leave the sands. She had looked on as more of the eggs burst and had been terribly glad she had moved aside quickly enough to not be mangled by the bronze, though she was sorry for the small girl he collided with. The poor thing would be in pain for days she was certain. Vee gave a gasp of surprised and cheered as the gold from Krypth's clutch walked up to Ameris. She had happy tears in her eyes for the girl, though she did feel the pang of failure in her heart again, and a few more tears fell, that had more to do with that hurt than her happiness for Ameris.
Because she could not just leave, she stood, waiting and watching as egg after egg cracked open and hatched. She cheered and congratulated, even laughed a time or two at the antics of some hatchlings. When the fight broke out between two of the hatchlings she was worried they might injure themselves and go Between, but another brown put a quick end to the fight right after hatching himself. He would be a strong brown dragon for whomever he bonded too, she was certain of that.
She felt poorly for a couple of boys who had beautiful greens walk up to them and sniff around, giving every appearance of interest, only to wander off and bond to others. She felt that small pang of regret for them both, and several others who were ignored, but the one at least still look quite young enough to perhaps Impress still today or during another hatching. Her time was likely spent and the hurt continued to well up inside her. Despite her generally optimistic outlook on things, she really was saddened that once again, she was not chosen and then she had to stand and watch as others received the blessing of being called a dragonrider. She smiled at all the little greens, thinking they were all so perfectly beautiful, though she flinched when one took a nose dive and started crying out. She tried to pull herself from sad thoughts, there was far too much happiness around her for it really. She had to remember that there were more gold dragons now, surely there would be at least one more she might stand for, right? She took a breath and waited, watching for the rest of the eggs to hatch, there was no sense breaking down on the sands in front of the entire weyr. She would save that for when she was in her own room.
