Fifteen minutes after the last little green went between, the Blue egg decided it was time to lighten the mood a bit, and with a couple of quivers and shuddering movements, it cracked all over. The pieces fell down, all around theBlue blue dragonet, who chirped happily at being free from his egg. Blinking and looking around cheerfully, the Blue blue took in the depressed scenario and quite clearly pouted. He was here! Everything was good now, right?! Tossing his head and chirping again, forcefully determined to cheer up everyone, the Blue blue pranced towards some of the candidates, chittering and trilling happily as he went, as if narrating his motions. It didn’t really take him long to find his bonded, and he trilled happily at the young man, nuzzling his stomach and looking up at the youngsters on either side. He chirped at them both, as if wishing them good luck, before excitedly leading his new lifemate off the sands, springing forward several paces, and then dancing on the spot for a few moments as he waited for the boy to catch up. He repeated this all the way to the feeding station.
As theBlue blue pranced around on the Sands, the Star and Mist egg seemed intent on racing to Hatch first, the pair of them – on opposite sides of the Sands – causing people to swing their heads from one to the other as they tried to watch them both at once. In the end, it was the Star egg that Hatched first, the baby spilling out onto the hot Sands with a shriek of surprise as the shell gave way under her attacks. Star green looked around with surprise. She spun in the direction of the Mist egg as it, too, spilled the contents from within onto the Sands. The Mist green peered around with curiosity, and then amusement.
Star green took a step towards her sister, before pausing and looking towards a couple of boys. With a sudden squeal of delight, she bound across the Sands and pounced on one of the boys, sending him sprawling into the sand. Unlike her brown brother earlier, Star green was gentle but enthusiastic in her love; while she clawed the boys shoulders in a way that would likely cause some light scaring, it was clear by his laughter that he was Impressed and the pair cuddled on the hot sands for some time, the little green purring happily as she licked his face.
Watching theStar green Impress, the Mist green seemed somewhat amused by the whole process. Turning around, she peered about at the candidates in curiosity and with a quirky look on her face. It took her a few moments before she zoned in on one particular candidate. What was clearly meant to be a confident sashay, she began the trip across the sands; unfortunately, she tripped and landed heavily on her face, eating sand and sneezing fiercely. Standing up again, the Mist green extended her wings to help her balance, and began the walk once more.
She tripped four times before making it to the candidate, though with a stubborn pride refused to stop her sashaying. Reaching the candidate she’d been angling for, theMist green looked up with an open maw, clearly smirking in amusement, as she enjoyed the thoughts rocketing around their mind. Nuzzling her lifemate’s stomach, she licked the new Weyrling’s hand.
It took a moment, but with the Impression of theMist green those who were watching – and Standing – realised there were just two left. As if feeling the weight of all those gazes staring down at them, the Cloud and Nebulae eggs seemed to crumple on the spot. The Cloud blue and Nebulae green . The pair looked around curiously, before spotting one another, and a Candidate at the same time. With sudden shrieks, they both charged towards the boy, who stared with huge eyes as the pair threw themselves at each other, just before his feet.
Shrieking and clawing at one another, the pair drew ichor, painting the sands green as they struggled to come out on top. Behind them, the young man stared with shock even as two others charged forward, each one grabbing a dragonet around the neck and reefing on the large creature, hurling it away from the other. They were slippery with ichor, and would no doubt have serious scarring once healed. Despite that, they both turned to stare at the Candidate who had pulled them away, and then they both turned to stare at the young man who had just stood there.
Both dragonets snarled at him, angry and dismissive, before turning to their respective saviours to Impress. Once the bond was sealed, they looked at each other and snarled again, clearly at odds, and had to be restrained by their young lifemates, lest they throw themselves on each other again in another bloody battle… What, exactly, their issues were with each other would probably always remain more of a mystery than not.
