Katiryn was done with this Hatching. It wasn’t as horrible as some she’d Stood for but she was just over this one. Horrible little golds weren’t enough? Have some earth shaking good times! She wanted nothing more than to run into the stands and hug her daddy. She didn’t care about the rules anymore or what was proper of a Candidate or how she would be viewed afterward. She just wanted to be away from the chaos and safe in her daddy’s arms.
Instead, she was crowded back against a wall with some other girls—not her choice. She didn’t want to be pinned down in case one of the stressed dragons came their way! But that’s where the crowd had shuffled to and she had learned how it was a bad idea to try moving against such a force and went with them. She could still see what was going on and she could even see K’tir in the stands, on his feet and looking ready to murder anyone or anything that harmed his daughter. Best dad ever.
But before K’tir could actually approach the sands like it appeared he was about to do, the rumbling stopped and the baby dragons calmed while the older ones mourned the loss of new life. Katiryn slumped and slid down the wall until she was huddled on the ground. She wanted to sit but that was too hot for only the robe to protect her from so she stayed on her booted feet, hugging her knees.
