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!

Dareji smiled as the first hatchling appeared and looked a bit confused. She already adored the little blue but the longer it sat there without anyone seeming to go to him made her worry. She didn’t want the very first one to vanish between! She was starting to will the blue to focus on her, to find her open and accepting to him when finally a boy ran in to help his mate. She let out the breath she had been holding, relieved they wouldn’t loss that little fella that day. Sure, she was disappointed he hadn’t bonded to her but that was always the gamble and since she was a girl, it was even worse odds and she was steeling herself up against it every time.
But all relief she had that had carried over after a green found her mate as well vanished when the two bronzes started fighting. Were they fighting over the same boy? For a moment she was curious about who this special boy was but the flailing hatchlings took all of her attention and her stomach dropped at what came next. She whispered her disbelief with a half-raised arm as if she could have stopped it when one of the bronze babies vanished and the other was left with a maimed wing. Part of her worried about whether it would mend properly while the other part tried to figure out if that was the third or fourth hatchling. Not the first, but in the first five.
She knew people had superstitions about the colour that hatched first and now she wondered if blues being first would be considered bad luck given they lost a bronze and so early on. Dareji chided herself for thinking such things but it helped in keeping her together. She never liked the dragons keening and she absently wiped away the trail of tears that had slid down her cheeks without her knowing. So much loss in a matter of seconds. A bronze lost forever, another bronze potentially losing flight or stable flying if he didn’t mend well, a boy that would always wonder what would have been with the other bronze while also blaming himself for that death. She really wanted to go give the pair a hug but they were both upset and injured and she still couldn’t see who had even Impressed. She’d find out later as she didn’t want to crowd the healers.
Another glance to the spectators had her finding her dad and she gave him a small smile and wave, letting him know she was okay before seeking out her brother—who had moved down with R’dal to sit with the R’nd Kids. She gave them two thumbs up and she laughed softly when not only R’dare but all three of their friends returned the gesture.
