The air was charged with an assortment of emotions from nerves to excitement to anxiety. That seemed enough to start spurring on the dragonets as several eggs started to wobble more than they had been just minutes before. As a hush took over the crowds with only the dragons still humming, one foot kicked through the shell and vanished just as quickly. Rhaedalyn missed what colour it was but Aradissicath hadn’t and she chuckled to their little group. Rhaedalyn gave her a look before turning back to see a nose poking through and working on the hole until a head appeared and she was left chuckling as well. “Not the strong start I know you old guys hope for,” she teased R’nya with a fond smile and leaned into him.

Green01 finally made it free of Egg 16 and stumbled on the uneven surface a moment before taking in the crowd around her. She didn’t take long to find her boy and they were leaving just as Egg 5 started losing bits of shell and Egg 30 was right behind it. Green02 and Green03 joined the party which had Rhaedalyn giggling now. Aradissicath came from a clutch that was all green aside from her and while she didn’t think that would happen now with such a large clutch, it certainly gave off the appearance as the two girls hurried off in opposite directions for their mates.

Egg 18 proved it wouldn’t be an all green clutch as Bronze01 poked his head out of the top of his egg before rocking it over so he could crawl out with ease. The clever fellow took a moment to shake himself out and flapped his wings a couple of times to stretch them and hope for balance as he trotted off toward a group of men. He walked right on by Narinoa and Corvilis without even a glance in their direction, going instead for the man standing several feet behind them.

Green04 managed an escape from Egg 11 and quietly Impressed to a boy on the opposite side of where her bronze brother had attracted attention. She seemed to be the last one in a big hurry as the eggs continued to wobble and crack but the inhabitants struggled to break free.

After a handful of minutes, Egg 23 toppled over, hitting Egg 9. No damage seemed to take place but it did spur them both on as limbs and noses kept peeking through before Blue01 and Blue02 appeared almost at the same time. They touched noses in greeting and trotted off in the same direction. Blue01 stopped momentarily by Zoremet but it was another boy that ended up stepping forward to greet him and walk off together as Blue02 and his boy fell in step beside them.

Egg 36 followed suit at a more leisurely pace as Brown01 introduced himself with a squawk that didn’t come out quite like the roar he intended before charging toward Fediletch and his group. Before he could do much more than scare everyone, Green05—who had escaped Egg 44 around the same time—came crashing into her brother, sending them both tumbling and rolling several times before coming to a stop. Green05 screeched at her brother while Brown01 flapped his wings angrily but finally relented and turned away where his mate had been waiting, panic etched on his face. Green05 chirped at Fediletch before going up to one of the boys by him and nudging him with her nose.

During that commotion, Egg 3 had spilled out Blue03 and he had trotted off towards his mate without any fuss. Egg 43 kept shaking until Brown02 finally escaped. He was much quieter than his fellow brown brother had been as he skirted the edges of the crowd as if leery of them before finally scurrying by Landen to get to his mate.
