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!

The girl let her hand fall to her side as she peered around curiously, taking in those she could see clearly and squinting past those she could just make out. While the child wasn't particularly afraid of the dark, she wasn't all that keen on it either which she portrayed by her close stance beside Kerrin, blue eyes alive as she gazed around. The last Hatching had occurred when she was only seven, and had spent the course of it sitting with her friend in furious anger at being denied.
"Ooh," she whispered, thrilled, as a sudden shriek detonated the soft murmuring of the crowd watching the Hatching, and the young girl's fingers wrapped around Kerrin's forarm in excitement, her gaze focused on the shifting shadow she could see, and the wildly whirling eyes of the Hatchling as it scrambled to it's feet. She giggled, "someones pissed."
As if the Hatchling had heard her very words and the soft giggle, suddenly it was upon her and Indivara's hands flew up, not making it past her stomach as the vicious little creature gripped his sand hardened claws into her face. Her scream was filled with pain and shock, but very little actual fear as she staggered, the weight of the baby dragon driving her back so she knocked into Kerrin; the momentary wall of flesh behind her offered a counter balance and she gained her own. She was unaware of anything but the feel of claws slashing through her flesh. Blood soaked her chest and arms as the creature's feet slashed, and the girl drew a fresh breath in shock, the sound ripping from her throat in a high pitched scream of pain as the claws ripped open her chest and arm.
Then he was gone, thrusting himself off her and sending the girl flying backwards, landing with a breath stealing oomph on her back, where she stayed. Her icy blue eyes were huge in her pale face, contrasted sharply by the deep slashes that went diagonally across her face, from above her left eye - and shockingly close below it, across to her right cheek. Her lips were shredded, one claw having gone straight through and sliced both top and bottom open. Typically for facial wounds, there was blood everywhere; what skin was still intact was pasty white, with the girls freckles standing out starkly.
Indivara was oblivious as the Hatchling made for Jada, then mauled a Candidate, and finally Impressed. Her eyes were blank, staring at nothing as her entire body shut down and began to shake, shock setting in. She was oblivious as Jada hauled her to her feet, blue eyes incapable of taking in the sight of the harper woman before her as she blankly took the piece of cloth passed to her and held it with a robotic motion to her lips. She didn't respond as the healers and Jada swept her off to the side, nor when her A'din came shoving through the little crowd of people and flung herself at her daughter.
"Sweet Faranth Indivara! What were you thinking?" The horror in the greenrider's voice was apparent as she sat beside her daughter, carefully brushing away hair that had come loose around the girl's face. Indivara, in deep shock, simply continued to stare at nothing with blank eyes as the Healers fussed over her and attempted to implement some kind of damage control.
