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!

While it was nothing new, T’ryn’s attention was pulled in multiple directions. He made sure Yfris and Tazikel weren’t getting into any trouble on one side of him, kept watch on A’tay to make sure his brother didn’t faint, greeted M’quel and caught up with her when she arrived and sat on his other side, warmly greeted K’dar when he sat beside M’quel, and gave him a pat on the shoulder and told him how good it was to see him out before checking on how Tiberuth was doing. Then he had an urge to check behind him and found Kor’is and added him into the rotation of keeping tabs on people. All of that before the action on the Sands truly started.
When it did, T’ryn could only sigh and remember these were Malvayth’s babies. Xyxyth was outgoing and energetic as well so even his contribution to it all didn’t do much to calm the antics, like the gold playing with her egg shell. That was cute but he hoped she had found her bonded already. They didn’t need the shock of her loss so early into the event. But he didn’t need to worry long as she moved toward an area with several girls, including Mylorah and Zelana. He held his breath and it felt like their little group did the same until someone behind him started cheering for Mylorah and it confirmed what he was seeing. His sister Impressed! Both of his big sisters were now goldriders to complement his and A’tay’s bronze. While he smiled and cheered for Mylorah as well, T’ryn couldn’t help but feel bad for the three siblings still on the Sands and the pressure they no doubt felt now. Another sibling Impressed and to another shiny. He’d talk with Cazan later about what, if anything, he should say to them if they didn’t Impress that day.
K’dar took off before T’ryn could react but he didn’t chase him down. K’dar needed a moment with their sister and as Second, he could go pretty much anywhere he wanted, when he wanted. But T’ryn did keep Tazikel from following. They all wanted to see her but they could go later. He did his best to focus on the hatchlings making their debut and, boy, was he glad he did when the greens started their break for the stands.
When the first one made it up and over, tumbling not too far away from them, T’ryn had to hold M’quel back from rushing over to help. It was like watching her dash off to save Zezeth but this time he managed to keep her away from danger. “Give her space and a chance for her mate to help her,” he whispered, knowing M’quel’s desire to assist wherever she could would be driving her insane right then. But the little green decided she needed to go to her mate and T’ryn watched in horror as she made her way to Cazelarias and he was struck with more déjà vu as the dragonet and the twin of his mate stared at each other.
“Not again,” he mumbled, head sinking into his hands as he hunched forward. He didn’t want to look up and see how Cazan was taking the news. He assumed the answer would be ‘not well’ with a heavy dose of blaming herself as the reason her brother was even there. He knew that latter feeling well and sometimes still felt it when Cazan and Malvayth were having a bad day.
He didn’t get a chance to further wallow in that moment of guilt as a noise in front of him drew his attention back up to stare at another green standing on the wall. His eyes were wide but somehow went even wider when Tazikel was out of his seat and attending the green hatchling before he could catch up to what was happening. And then it did catch up, apparently faster than it did for the lordling himself and T’ryn groaned as he repeated himself, “not again!”
And he knew exactly who was going to bring the news to Lord Tillek as well. “Fuck me sideways,” T’ryn groaned and put his head back in his palms as he all but huddled in on himself. M’quel was rubbing his back and promising everything would be okay but he could hear the smile she was probably trying to hide. Maybe he’d find it amusing later on. Much later on. After he survived the trip to Tillek Hold and helped Cazan through her brother Impressing.
