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!

Arddra watched in surprise as a very pregnant Aradissicath strolled out of the hatching circuit in what Arddra could only call a huff. It seemed the gold didn't like all the people around in her current state. Without realizing it she scanned the gathered dragonriders wondering if Weyrleader S'kef was watching the hatching.
The sound of shattering eggshells drew her attention away from the crowd and back onto the eggs. It didn't take long for Arddra to spot the egg which the departing gold had disturbed has hatched out a bronze. Soon the dragonet found his life mate and they trotted off to where food was waiting.
Suddenly there was a blue dragon among the girls and it sniffed one before trundling off towards the boys. Arddra exhaled, realizing she had been holding her breath when the blue dragonet came towards the female Candidates.
Glancing towards the gold Arddra wondered when it will start showing signs of hatching. It also seemed the few eggs remaining were also taking their time to hatch. Arddra shifted her feet, the heat of the sands making it through the sandals she was wearing and making her feet uncomfortable.
Just as she was thinking the remaining eggs were all duds, two more eggs started to rock and soon another blue and green dragonet had broken free and found their lifemate. No girls were Impressed to the fighting dragons which suited Arddra fine. She felt golds were for women and the rest for men though she didn't begrudge those women who did end up with chromatic dragons. SHe had been to enough hatchings to realize the dragonets do the choosing.
With so few eggs left, Arddra focused her attention on the gold egg, willing it to start rocking. Her concentration was shattered when she heard a shriek. Turning towards the sound she spotted a green dragonet all twisted up in her shell and in her struggles damaged her wing. It was a dreadful sight, causing Arddra to bring a hand to her mouth.
"Oh poor thing..oh don't be too badly hurt..don't go Between," Arddra said softy, watching as two boys rushed forward to help the poor dragonet. She also noticed Casa heading in that direction then stopped when it was clear the closer boys were helping. Feeling unsettled by both the dragonets painful cries and the injury to it's wing, Arddra looked to where she had spotted V'riy. A part of her wanted to go to him and just feel his touch but she knew that wouldn't be possible right now.
Taking a deep breath, Arddra did her best to block her mind from the sympathetic pain she felt for the poor green and focused on the remaining eggs. This was when she noticed two other eggs had hatched and produced greens, leaving only the gold egg left to hatch. Once again she took a deep breath and let ot out slowly, calming herself and doing her best to present herself as the best candidate for the gold. There still was a little doubt in her however, that she would Impress this hatching but she had plenty of hope she will.
