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!

Faxxonth came! A’tay startled out of his mantra he was reciting over and over about being a good bronzerider with excellent posture that didn’t mind attention to stare at his excited dragon. Xyxyth gave a trill of delight as he looked up somewhere on the ledges to where A’tay assumed Faxxonth sat. “Tell him I say hi and I’m happy he’s here.” If the dragon came, that meant the rider was definitely somewhere in the stands. A’tay scanned the faces until he found N’reh and he gave his friend a large smile. Tell Faxx that we’ll stay a few more days to finish up some projects and N’reh is invited to a dinner I’ll make for him, he asked Xyxyth and then looked across all the familiar faces again.
He saw M’quel arrive earlier and some of his anxiety over what could happen dropped away at her smile and eternal optimism he could see in her expression without hearing a single word. Of course T’ryn and R’nd were there and full of familial support. And now that he had another friend there to add to all of that, A’tay started to think he really could do this and make it through the Hatching.
And then there was Cazan trying to help him without making it look like she was. He could definitely do this. He just had to think about colours for a bit and was actually surprised he hadn’t yet. The first to crack shell said a lot about the type of clutch it would be and while everyone always wanted a bronze, A’tay thought blue was always a good place to start. But before he could say that, the eggs caught their attention and a brown head was suddenly on display. He heard some groans in the audience, maybe from betting pools or because browns still had a bad rep because of a handful of bad ones.
But that was a thought for later as well as A’tay joined others in gasping as the gold decided she wasn’t going to wait. Or maybe she was. “I… think she is,” his own amazement at the golden baby playing with her shell was hard to hide and A’tay was soon smiling at the antics. Xyxyth was also amused and not worried about her taking her time. For all any of them knew, she had already brushed the mind of her mate so there wasn’t anything to worry about. But at least she was calm either way and would make her way out soon enough.
The smile faded when a blue and green began fighting and the anxiety started to settle in again. This was it. Right off the bat everything was falling apart. Hatchlings were fighting and maybe the gold wasn’t quite right after all. What if the entire clutch was like that? Breathe and focus. Fights are normal and no humans were drawn into it. The gold is just playing and that’s fine. You were just thinking that moments ago. A’tay nodded, knowing he was a mess that needed to sort itself out. Seeing those first three hatchlings Impress helped.
