Of all of the eggs, Chironhes found his eye drawn naturally to the rich, dark hide of one dragon in particular. He was the most wonderful coloration he'd ever seen on any before, and spots similar to his siblings were a polished, light bronze. The way he climbed up on top of another egg made him seem like he was surveying his domain with pride! Chir felt like he could feel that pride thrumming through his own soul. Whoever Impressed that dragon was lucky indeed!
The egg beneath the dark dragon cracked, sending the little male down to reveal another, this one a tawny male. With the hatching of another, chaos began.
A series of roaring and chases sent the brown hatchling racing straight at Sironar, apparently intending to barrel through the boy to get at his sister. Unwilling to let his friend be trampled, Chir leaped forward to shove the older boy out of the way and reared back himself, barely managing to avoid injury himself. Thinking himself in the clear, Chir let out a breath of relief too soon. His daring rescue apparently drew the ire of the tawny brown who redirected his aggression towards him.
The freckled boy didn't even have time to consider how to react before Pardrith roared out a challenge to his brother and raced forward to Chir's defense. Despite his thinner frame, the bronze slammed against the brown, sending his brother sprawling into the sand while he stood as a proud guard in front of Chir.
By the time the brown had gone off with begrudging growls, Chir rushed to the front of the dark-skinned dragon and immediately pressed his forehead to the dragon's snout. Thank you, Pardrith! Are you okay?
It didn't seem to occur to his boy that he was his, earning a chuff of amusement.I am well. And you are mine, Ch'es. Mine to protect.
Ch'es blinked in shock. Surely, this was a dream. Had that brown hatchling taken him out after all?
Gently, Pardrith knocked his head against Ch'es with force just shy of bruising.Dreams don't hurt. I am not a dream, his dragon informed him matter-of-factly.
You're mine? Even with an aching forehead, he still had to question.
With more tenderness, Pardrith rubbed his face against the young hunter's.And I am yours. Can we eat now?
Cupping his dragon's face in his hands, Ch'es kissed his muzzle tearily before nodding mutely. Yes, let's go get you something to eat!
