She entered the world with all the fanfare her tiny little green body could muster as the egg around her shattered without warning, causing at least half the people in attendance to startle as their attention was elsewhere, waiting for someone to show signs of Hatching. With a toss of her regal head, the [dgree]Rain green[/dgreen] dragonet looked around with all the royal airs of someone who was very sure of her beauty and her own intelligence. She dismissed the group of candidates closest to her with a flick of her tail, and trotted towards a second group, this one made up of just two Candidates. Ignoring the boy who took a half step towards her, theRain green pressed her nose into the stomach of the Weyrbred girl, who stared down at her in wonder.
WhileRain green was busy making her way to her lifemate, the Haze egg had set about Hatching; by the time the little one Impressed, the Haze brown had finally managed to poke his head out of his egg… revealing the fact that he was, in fact, upside down. His forehead pressed against the sand, he peered curiously at the world from his upside-down position, blinking and snorting. His head vanished for a moment, and after some wriggling around and apparent attacking of the shell, it broke, leaving him upside down in the base of the shell.
A confused chirp came from him as he flipped over, wings going in every direction and legs flailing before he managed to stand up. TheHaze brown looked around with a very surprised expression, as he found the world to be right-way-up. The change seemed to shock him, and he stood gaping for several long moments before someone in the audience coughed. Jumping very visibly, the little brown shot up in the air and turned in half a circle to stare in that direction, his mouth open in surprise and eyes whirling fast. Several giggles broke out, and the brown sat down so he could turn his head in each direction quickly without falling over.
Suddenly standing up and shaking his head, theHaze brown stumbled three steps and his butt ran into the Azure egg, knocking it into the Dusk egg, who toppled into the Sun egg. All three cracked to varying degrees, with the Dusk and Sun rolling several feet before coming to a stop. Turning to watch the eggs, Haze brown tilted his head, distracted for several moments. The movement of a candidate on his peripheral vision had him turning his attention that way, staring dumbly, before trotting towards a young man. He sniffed his toes, snorted, and moved on to the next. The Haze brown did this for several Candidates, before finally reaching an older boy. He peered up at him for several long moments, and then… he squealed in delight, dancing on the spot, and chirped happily.
After he’d bumped into them, the Azure, Dusk and Sun eggs all seemed to be in a race to see who could Hatch first; whileHaze brown was busy sniffing around the toes of Candidates, the three eggs all managed to Hatch, almost simultaneously. While Azure and Dusk revealed greens , the Sun egg gave way to a blue . All three babies greeted each other, seemingly cheerful and happy enough. They chirped and chittered amongst themselves, seeming oblivious to the fact that they were supposed to be Impressing. As the Sun blue suddenly gave a trill and pounced on the Dusk grene , the Azure green bounced backwards to avoid the play attack, and half landed on the Moon egg.
The Moon egg gave a muffled chirp, revealing that whatever was inside it wasn’t far away from Hatching. Curiosity overcoming them, the three Hatchlings all circled around the egg, and began poking it with their nose, helping the one within to break out. Within a few moments, the shell fell away to reveal theMoon green . She stared at her siblings for several moments, laying in the base of her shell, but did nothing. The other three became bored quite quickly, when the Moon green didn’t so much as twitch.
Turning away, theAzure green was the first to leave, prancing across the Sands to find her lifemate in the form of a young boy. Taking the hint, the Dusk green and Sun blue were quick to follow suit, both Impressing to young men, completely forgetting about the statue that was their green sister.

For her part, theMoon green continued to remain like a statue where she’d been forced to Hatch, not so much as twitching. It wasn’t until her siblings were well off the Sands that the green finally moved, finally looking around. It was as she did so, that several things were noticed about her; primarily that her head was severely deformed. Her head knobs were barely bumps on top of her head, while her entire lower jaw appeared to be actually missing – a probable explanation for why she hadn’t been able to Hatch – though a closer examination would have proved it was just a severe overbite. When she stood up, she revealed that she had several extra limbs, hanging limply from her stomach…
She took a few steps, before stopping. The overwhelming sense of horror and disgust coming from the people and dragons who had watched the Hatching crashed down on the little green, and she gave a strange mewing sound, shifting her head to look around. Several candidates backed away from her, as if afraid she’d try to Bond to them. TheMoon green gave a soft, whimpering sound, and extended her wings – proving that they, too, were horribly mutated – as the sight was responded to negatively, the little Moon green gave another soft sound of misery and vanished between.
