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 was a long hour, following the Impression of Huxlieth, which put an end to his murderous intent to rid the Sands of all the female candidates. The body of the dead girl was picked up and moved off the sands by a group of healers, a blanket being put over her body to hide the disaster left by Huxlieth’s teeth. She would be attended to after the Hatching had been completed, and certainly after the living girl was dealt with. The Healers, unable to move her for the moment without making matters worse, worked on the Sands, their voices loud in the low humming echo that was filling the Hatching Cavern.
When the Glow egg began to shudder and make a scene of preparing to Hatch, a healer gently took Tala’s bloody hand and gave it a squeeze, before shooing her off to get back to the activity of attempting to Impress. Most of the other Candidates had shifted around, leaving the Healers to their task and hopefully inviting the dragonets to stay away from the people trying to save the girl’s life. When Glow finally hatched, and a littlebronze spilled onto the sands, breaths were held; however, the little fellow just looked towards the working group and crooned softly, almost questioningly. Blinking, he turned his attention towards the active candidates and made his way towards a couple of boys. He Impressed without any fanfare, and certainly without any blood. His baby-voice was clearly heard as he peppered his lifemate with questions about what was going on.
The next egg to make a scene was the Dust egg, and it was quite determined! The youngster within burst out with a scattering of eggshell and a high pitched screech. With a stumble, theDust green dragonet just barely managed not to face plant into the sands at her feet, even as she cast around, her head swaying from side to side before narrowing in on one candidate and the individuals around her. Like her brown brother, the little dust green started her movement slowly as she got used to her limbs, before running full speed towards the group of Healers, screeching again as she reached them and sending some scattering. A couple of hardy souls stayed put, and she had to come to a sudden stop not to run into one man who stared her down.
TheDust green gave a pitiful mew, and slunk around the edge of the man’s legs, to creep up to the injured girl, eyes a rainbow of Impression as she chirped questioningly. Several of the Healers looked at each other, before looking to their leader. The man shifted his gaze to the Weyrleaders, and slowly shook his head. The girl wasn’t going to live, they were simply doing what they could, now, to make her comfortable. If they’d known she was going to Impress…. But they hadn’t and now she had. The healer dropped his attention to the girl, watching as she lifted a bloody hand to touch the dragonet on the tip of the nose, leaving a smear from her fingers.
The girl’s hand dropped, and a soft, gurgling sigh announced her death moments before the littlegreen dragonet screeched in anguish, her head lifted high and her eyes horrified. She didn’t stop keening for several long moments, before lowering her head, and her eyes – bright red – stared at the brown who was off to the side, being fed. Shrieking in absolute rage, the little green dragonet made a mad dash for him, kicking up sand in every direction, ignoring the way the adult dragons bellowed around them and people yelled out. The little green made it perhaps three-quarters of the way to her goal, before the overwhelming emptiness of being without her bonded finally drove her between.
The silence that followed was unbearable.
Breaking it, however, came a few minutes later as the Zodiac egg and the Horizon eggs both decided to crack – loudly – at the same time. The sound drew attention to their shells, and they both shattered, with thegreen Zodiac making her entrance into the outside world a few seconds before the Horizon bronze did. He sat back, watching his sister with a kind of relaxed curiosity as she peered around before her attention was caught by the clean-up that was happening where the two girls had died. With a chirp, the green Zodiac hatchling trotted in that direction, trilling and chirping curiously as she finally reached them, her innocence almost unbearably cute as she pressed her head against the hand of one of the Journeymen, peering up at him reassuringly and lovingly.
Content with his sister’s Impression, theHorizon bronze turned his attention to the candidates, his eyes seeming to glance off them as he sought out his lifemate. He found the boy after a few moments, and standing up, made his way confidently towards the child. Horizon bronze paused when another candidate stepped in his way, looking up at the girl with clear amusement. A moment later, he gently pushed her aside with the edge of his nose, and presented himself to the boy behind her, crooning a gentle greeting, laughter clear on his face under the rainbow of Impression. Silly humans.
