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!

I'shan had grown so used to their dragonets' rude timing that when he first heard the humming, he wasn't sure if he believed it. A hatching, in the middle of the afternoon? He lifted his head from it's current resting place on one of the dining hall tables and pursed his lips, mind reaching out to Ilveriath for a confirmation. He probably didn't need to ask, though. All three of his fire lizards were suitably excited. Squee and Spazz were chittering and trilling more melodically than normal, and Squeak seemed to be in a good enough humor to join in.
You are correct. The clutch is hatching as we speak, my dear Ilveriath purred with warm delight. The gentle blue loved hatchings. They were moments of joy in turns where there was all too little of it. I'shan beamed and hopped up from his seat, bolting for the door without a word, all three fire lizards bolting after him with varying levels of excitement. Ilvaeriath was already waiting outside, thin body rumbling louder than it seemed like it would be able to. He lowered his head, eyes flashing with joy as I'shan threw his arms around his neck. Then, as I'shan scrambled frantically on board, Ilveriath disappeared.
Moments later, I'shan was bustling through the crowd. "EXCUSE ME! Searchrider coming through! Paaardon me!" he said, slipping between bodies and dodging limbs as he went. Squee quickly pounced on his shoulder, hopping and trembling with joy as they neared the edge of the sands. Spazz and Squeak crowded on the other shoulder, but after Spazz'z unrestrained wingbeats hit Squeak in the face one time too many, the less-excitable blue decided to vacate. He hopped towards the nearest adjacent human, latching onto their shirt sleeve and clinging to the fabric. I'shan was too engrossed to notice, and it seemed the person now babysitting Squeak was as well.
I'shan was enjoying himself thoroughly. The clutch appeared to consist of only greens so far, which was just too funny. A new crop of greenriders was always an excellent thing to look forward to, now wasn't it?! He chuckled and elbowed a nearby greenrider with amusement, making some sort of crass comment that made the greenrider laugh nervously before pulling away. Naw. No fun!
Things changed very quickly when the saw the little gold wriggle from her shell. How pretty she was! His eyes widened with brightness and energy, beyond pleased to see another little queen join their ranks. How desperatly they needed every one they could get! This would bring the count to four, and some lucky girl-
Wait, what? What had he just seen? I'shan could have sworn that he saw the queenling going to B'jin's little searchgirl, but...she'd stopped? She was looking not to one of B'jin's girls, but to Rhae? Rhaedalyn? Was it possible?
Ilveriath?
Perhaps you should congratulate her, my dear. She is as overwhelmed as one would expect at such a moment
I'shan felt his jaw go slack. Then, after several moments of simply staring at the dazzling little beast and her happy new rider, he charged. Both fire lizards were jarred from his shoulders as he took off. I'shan raced out onto the sands like an angry herdbeast with it's horns down, only his determined sprint was prompted by elation, not rage. He had searched a goldrider! A goldrider!
"Rhae!" he squealed, skidding to a stop and slinging his arms around the girl without bothering to ask. "Look at you! Look at you! I told you I told you!" he shouted with joy, heart pounding in his chest. After turns of searching only green and blueriders, of being mocked for his dragon's apparent lack of skill, he finally had a goldrider! Shards, he'd been overly-excited about the pair of browns at the last clutch...this was amazing!
And it couldn't have happened to a nicer girl, at least in his estimation.
