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!

It seemed the hatchlings were, indeed, as eager to get the Hatching over with as any of the drunk and hungover humans surrounding them. Barely twenty minutes passed between the Impression of the Nexus green, and the hatching of the next egg – or the next group of eggs, as once more several saw fit to all break shell and topple upon the sands at once. The creels, chirps, and little draconic cries of surprise from the dragonets filled the air to mingle with the humming of their adult counterparts.
The Sentimental and Repentance greens were the first to make a serious bid for their new lives, the two girls scrambling over and around one another to take off in opposite directions. Sentimental tripped and scrambled her way to a young man, butting against his legs and creeling a greeting. Meanwhile, Repentance pranced with very little grace in the opposite direction, stopping for a moment to nose around the ankles of Bordtai before chirping at him and flouncing off to the next young man, Impressing him as she sniffed at his booted feet curiously; there was something on them!
Incapacitate revealed a blue, as did Gluttony and Gauche. Deciding to end the feast of blue, Querulous revealed a delicate green, toppling onto the sands with her brothers and crooning a greeting before standing and shaking herself out, sand sticking to her nose. Incapacitate shook himself out, eyes a nasty red while Gluttony seemed quite content to flop back onto the sands, though his eyes swirled a rainbow of Impression and a startled young man let out a squeak of surprise on the other side of the Sands.
Gauche and Querulous both seemed content to wander, the young blue quietly walking towards the meat bowls, and picking up a young man on the edges of the candidates, who looked like he would rather be elsewhere. Querulous carried herself with a quiet air of dignity as she peered around, before stopping and staring at one young man very seriously for a moment. Curiosity flared across her eyes, and she approached Isscer with cautious steps, sniffing around the young man’s ankles and at his legs. She sat down before him and stared up at him thoughtfully. After several long moments of careful consideration, the little green picked herself up and moved on, Impressing to the young man not three people away.
Patronise, picking away absently at the inside of his shell, seemed to be taking his sweet time about hatching and likely would have continued to do so if Incapacitate hadn’t decided the sound was irritating – or something – and suddenly turned and barrelled into the egg. Sending the other rolling and the eggshell crumpling around its contents, the Patronise egg was forced into revealing the first brown of the combined clutches. Patronise picked himself up with a hiss, snarling at Incapacitate as the blue puffed himself up threateningly. Patronise spat, his wings extending in a display meant to be threatening; to the contrary, they looked more like hissing felines than fierce dragons.
Venial green peeped her head out of her egg, in time to watch the two brothers throw themselves together with shrieks and hisses, and she quickly ducked back inside her shell in terror, while Yield was broken forcefully by the fighting siblings, spilling yet another brown onto the sands, and into the middle of the battlefield. A throaty shriek of rage filled the air as Yield found his feet, and deftly put an end to the bickering brown and blue with fierce slaps to their faces, knocking Patronise over and snarling at him before being called away by his surprised bonded.
Shaking themselves off, both Patronise and Incapacitate slunk off obediently, seeking their own bondeds under the watchful gaze of Yield, before he, too, was obediently leaving the sands and seeking his first meal.
There was a pause of several minutes as the excitement following the battling dragonets settled down; then the Integrity egg was presenting yet another blue to the audience, alongside his Lazy bronze brother, who flopped out of his shell with absolutely no lustre at all. Jejune brought forth a third brown, and he seemed to consider things for a moment before ambling over to Krypth’s clutch, notably to where Lazy was flopped, and giving him a nudge. Integrity watched them for a moment, before turning and making his way over to his bonded with quiet dignity.
Nudging Lazy again, Jejune managed to get Lazy onto his feet, and the two hatchlings stood for a moment before the bronze lead them off, ambling across the sands with Jejune trotting along at his heels. The pair wove through the candidates, tripping over toes and weaving between ankles, before Lazy stopped before Ryvian and peered up at him dully. The expression remained for a few moments, before the dragonet suddenly exploded into energy, and bounced around Ryvian joyfully, legs stiff as he did so, before he tripped over Jejune. The little brown whined piteously and slunk off, finding his bonded three or four candidates away.
Suddenly side tracked, Lazy gave a happy chirp and picked himself up off the ground, bouncing his way back into the vicinity of his new lifemate with a happy array of chittering sounds.
