742.06.03 | Early Morning Excitement - Helyna - 03.Jun.21

Helyna was exhausted, having stayed up most of the night as Iliyith clutched, encouraging and counting with excitement. She had spent hours arranging the sands to her satisfaction, anxious now that it was finally arriving. The gold had gotten more and more testy as she grew heavier with egg and riders kept being attacked. Helyna hoped they would manage to catch whoever was doing this soon, particularly after the poor young women had been poisoned at the candidates’ celebration only days earlier.

Hopefully it wouldn’t put off too many from Standing for the two clutches. She hated to think what would happen if there weren’t enough candidates for this latest clutch. Iliyith had outdone herself once again, laying an astonishing 32 eggs during the night.

The gold had settled finally, curled protectively around one in particular--a gold egg; her first. Congratulations, darling. I’m going to go get some breakfast. Rest up; you did very well. Helyna was eager to share the news with N’mor in person, but wasn’t sure how kindly he’d take to a visit so early. Yawning, she went to go fix herself some klah and wait for a more reasonable hour.
