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!

As more and more people crowded the Hatching Circuit Arddra wondered if they will have to make it bigger. With so many gold dragons now old enough to clutch they filled the hatching ground with their large bodies. She knew the last hatching she attended there were two clutches hatching at the same time. Was it good for them to clutch so close together and having their offspring emerging the same day? She had not sensed any panic or worry in the riders, then again her mind was more focused on the eggs.
Today she knew there wasn't anything she could do about the hatching sands, perhaps once she Impressed a gold of her own she could work with the other goldriders on an appropriate solution. Unless S'kef did move them all North by then. Arddra could only assume the Weyrs in the north were better constructed and had more efficient hatching grounds.
Trelanvor's arrival broke her away from her thoughts and she gave him a smile. "Good luck to you as well Trelanvor!" she called back, warmed by his words. She really should spend more time with her fellow candidate. He was a good man even if prone to pranks and getting into trouble. He reminded her of her playfulness when she was in her teen years.
Another rider called out good luck and she turned to see the blonde brownrider. He was always smiling and flirting and probably was a decent enough man but she didn't trust him. His flirtatious wink didn't make her at all interested in getting to know him. But he did wish them all good luck and it would be rude to totally ignore him. Arddra simply nodded and glanced away just in time to spot a bronze dragon land off to the side. Immediate her heart raced and she waved. After helping wash and oil his hide several times as V'riy taught her how to care for a dragon, Arddra would recognize Morith anywhere.
To know V'riy was here to watch the hatching and maybe even Impress a pretty golden dragonet thrilled Arddra. It also filled her with some fear. What would he think of her if she failed to Impress this time? Fortunately she was distracted from her fears when she spotted a young girl joining the female candidates Arddra stood with many times already.
"Casa! I am glad to see you decided to try your luck today," Arddra smiled at the young girl, "Good luck to you."
Conversation suddenly changed volume as the first eggs started to rock and by the time the first egg cracked, the only sound was the sound of the rain and thunder. Arddra turned her attention fully to the egg before but at the moment it wasn't showing any indication it was going to hatch. Scanning the other eggs she spotted which egg had been the first to crack. As the bronze dragonet struggled to free itself, she chuckled then sighed as Impression was made. It was the one thing she truly enjoyed about the last few hatchings she attended, it was seeing that look of amazing wonder on each boy or girl who Impressed.
Not long after the bronze dragon found his new life mate, a blue staggered free out of his tumbled egg to find his partner. It was such a beautiful sight and for the first time she could truly enjoy the hatching without bearing any reservations. She wanted to become a goldrider with all her being, there was nothing else expected of her that she could do.
