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!

Rhaedalyn was thrilled with each pair that bonded and moved off to the side but it was seeing Indivara, someone she considered a friend of sorts, Impress that made her give him a squeal of joy and bounce on the balls of her feet. The young woman had wanted to Impress for so long and despite her rough exterior, she had been kind and helpful when Rhaedalyn needed it most so it warmed the goldrider to see her with a dragon of her own. It wasn’t the bronze the girl always said she would Impress but the blue looked adorable and was no doubt perfect for her all the same.
Incongruous didn’t seem to like all of the attention staying on its siblings and violently kicked at its shell until it fell away enough for a green hide to appear in the fading light.Incongruous stood and flicked her tail as if shaking off any sand that dared to stick to her. Her gaze went around the circuit but it was the stands that caught her attention the most. She began a slow trot towards the gasping audience before she gave a creel of distress. She frantically looked around her surroundings for several long seconds before turning to the left, walking a few paces, and sitting down. A look of longing was given to a young teenager who glanced around as frantically as Incongruous had a moment before and finally stumbled his way over to the green, dusting her off before hugging her.
The green pair went to get food and another lull took over the eggs. They were still rocking and cracking but there didn’t seem to be much more effort being put into actually hatching. There were eight eggs remaining and despite the movement to indicate that most seemed to well, Aradissicath started to worry that she had laid duds. She swatted at Xyreith’s paw when it came by to prod her again and added a tail whack to his backside for good measurement. She may have had lousy spatial awareness but she had grown rather skilled in landing a thwack to the pestering bronze. “Dissi is worried about the remaining eggs and if… when, they’ll appear.” Rhaedalyn explained softly to the bronze pair that had kept her company throughout the ordeal. Yet again she was glad that if someone other than her precious bluerider Z’ia had to win the flight, it was R’nya.
Aspiration was the first to finally prove that all was well as the top of the egg shattered from a good head-butting and the hatchling crawled free when he toppled the egg over.Aspiration didn’t go in search of his bonded, however, but instead strode around a few of his neighbouring eggs and gave them proper head butts as well, encouraging his siblings to appear or to at least stop being so lazy and put some real effort into obtaining freedom!
Woolgathering, On Gossamer Wings, and Optimist all retaliated with high pitched shrills of protests from within their eggs but each one finally broke free and perhaps unsurprisingly produced all greens.Woolgathering decided to ignore the bullying bronze in favour of running right to her bonded, skidding to a halt a mere foot from his feet. Sand was kicked up in the process but she barely noticed as the promise of food and a warm bed were given.
Satisfied with his job,Aspiration turned away from the two chittering greens and strode with a purpose toward an older teenager that had been observing the hatching with a vague sense of detachment until each bronze showed up. Aspiration paused long enough to let the Impression be known by the audience before the pair turned in unison to tend to business. Aradissicath eyed the little bronze and almost held her tongue but finally commented to her little group. What a pushy yet boring fellow. The last bronze may not be yours, Xyreith, but this one certainly seems to be yours.
Rhaedalyn couldn’t stop the giggle at her dragon’s comment but did her best to pass it off as something done forOn Gossamer Wings ’s antics of chasing her own tail. She didn’t think it was actually something that was done, but there was a little green, enjoying the chase and chirping over it until Yearning literally burst onto the scene with the shell breaking apart in large chunks and revealing an annoyed brown within. Yearning did the only thing that seemed natural in that moment when he spotted the spinning green; he jumped on her tail. That put an end to the fun and On Gossamer Wings squeaked in surprise and cried over the pain as she ran towards and right into her new bonded. Her eyes swirled briefly at the Impression as she curled up beside the man on the ground before showing her distress once more. Rhaedalyn panicked for a moment but the new green weyrling stayed calm and helped his dragonet to her feet and off to be pampered.
Optimist wasn’t having anything to do with the new bully in town and took off at a run, only to trip and roll three times before coming to a complete stop, upside down, near enough to her bonded that a glance in his direction had him rushing over with a soft laugh. Optimist seemed to be in good spirits as they walked away together and the look over her shoulder she gave Yearning made Aradissicath rumble with amusement. She liked her spunky babies!
Vagary had taken the opportunity of everyone being distracted by the greens to quietly make his way out of the egg that been hit earlier on during other moments of excitement. The first thing he saw upon taking in the new world wasYearning strutting towards two men that kept exchanging worried looks. Vagary tested his legs with careful steps and was soon confident enough to charge for his brown sibling. He pounced for Yearning and the two dragonets tumbled together with claws out and growls of protest filling the air. Clearly the brown was after his bonded!
It, naturally, turned out thatYearning and Vagary were after different humans as both of the bewildered boys stepped forward, calling out their dragons’ names to get them to stop fighting as neither were dumb enough to try pulling them apart even with their lack of proper education on the beasts. Suddenly completely content with the world and forgetting their spat, Yearning and Vagary walked side by side with their humans in tow.
The remaining two eggs sat on opposite ends of the mess of egg shells and Rhaedalyn had trouble deciding which one she should focus on as her gaze bounced between them. It was Inspiration that proved it didn’t want to be the last to hatch as one leg and then another shot through the weakened shell. A little more wriggling of the legs finally had enough of the egg broken away thatInspiration was able to roll his way out, crunching some of the shell fragments in the area in the process. On the final roll, he sprung to his feet and posed in triumph over what was clearly an amazing entrance.
Seeing that his immediate audience of siblings and Candidates was severely lacking,Inspiration shrugged and meandered by one of the few girls allowed to Stand for a chromatic, giving her a brief glance but not stopping. His trek brought him over to Firah, unknowingly adding to the trend of picking on the man that his siblings had started earlier. A gentle bump of his head was given to Firah’s leg in acknowledgement of him existing but Impression wasn’t meant to be as Inspiration moved on once more and ended his journey with a boy standing further back.
All eyes were on Emotionalist and Rhaedalyn could feel the tension coming from everyone, especially Aradissicath. They both wanted everything to go perfectly like how it would in their stories but the final egg was close to ruining that dream. It had stopped shaking, the shell riddled with cracks that needed a light breeze to knock it apart. Rhaedalyn was about to ask R’nya what they should do whenEmotionalist gave another shake and fell over. Her breath was held but Aradissicath was crooning encouragement to the youngster within that finally found his way out.
He may have been the last to hatch butEmotionalist wasn’t in any hurry to join his siblings. He sat up straight, looking around at everyone with the impression that he had just been woken up and didn’t know where he was or why he was there. When he did notice he was alone, a squawk or shock filled the circuit before Emotionalist found his way towards a group of men. He didn’t sit down and wait to be acknowledged but instead flopped down and rolled onto his back to present his belly in a very clear invitation that he wanted belly rubs. Two boys glanced at each other but it was the third that knelt down to humour his silly mate.
That one is also yours. A pampered brat. Rhaedalyn bit her lower lip to keep from giggling. Xyreith was a bit of a brat but so was Aradissicath. It was easy to see that bronze hatchling as the product of both of the grown dragons sitting near her but she’d leave such remarks to Xyreith if he felt so inclined.
“They all hatched, Ren! And a bronze to end on. That’s as good as opening with a bronze or brown, right?” Not that it mattered to the girl. The largest Katilan clutch had hatched without a dud or any serious injury! She was so proud of Aradissicath and the hatchlings that the desire to hug them all was overwhelming. Luckily, the hug she gave to Aradissicath was enough to satisfy the urge.
“Forty-two beautiful babies! Well done, Dissi. And you as well, Xyreith.” Rhaedalyn looked up from the golden neck her face was buried in to compliment the bronze. He had been extremely kind to Aradissicath when she was sand-bound and he deserved the praise as well.
As she suddenly remembered what day it was again, Rhaedalyn turned her attention to R’nya. “Happy birthday, Ren,” the words were whispered and she quickly pulled the shirt from her basket to present as the gift it was meant to be. She knew they had an audience although most would still be focused on the dragonets but it didn’t matter to the excited and extremely relieved girl.
