With the last wave of greens, it seemed that more of the dragonets were determined to leave their shells at last. Serious cracks were forming on many more shells, leading to last-minute bets on which would emerge next. Spotting the cracks on the gold shell, Iliyith perked up and hummed even louder, excited to see her daughter finally emerge.
Gold 1 tumbled free of her shell and sat bemused on the sands for a moment before investigating the shards curiously. She wandered over towards her parents with a questioning chirp as if to say “what now,” before being gently nudged towards the circle of girls. Making her way over, she was temporarily distracted by the hatchings of her brothers from Egg #8 and Egg #10, nosing around their shells and even digging around in the sand a bit before remembering her purpose. Finding her mate, she strode up to the girl confidently and nudged her hand.
Blue 5 and Blue 6 found their boys with ease, and loudly complained about their hunger, trying to outdo each other with their volume and urgency. Egg #6’s Blue 7 covered his head with his paws till they were led off the sands, grumbling about the noise till Egg #25’s Green 10 pounced his lashing tail before trotting off to find her own mate. Still grousing, he wandered over to the candidates, walking along the line till he found who he was looking for.
Eggs #13 and #26 hatched a few minutes later, revealingBrown 2 and Green 11 . The two got tangled up but luckily managed to resolve the issue without much more than a few scrapes and some wounded pride.
