Kaith's first Hatching

[Tenma]

Nira didn't laugh with her friend. "I hope you are right." She mumbled.
Do not worry nothing bad will happen.

[Dragon]

"Don't worry about it nira. I am sure everyone will be fine and Nike is right. She can get down there fast enough", he said to Nira, trying to reassure his friend.

[Miki]

[glow=blue,2,300]Can we go sit with those people up there?[/glow]

~No, I don't think you can go up there. We will have to stay here.~

Aureth sighed loudly and then yawned, his large teeth glistening in the light. D'ran smiled a little uneasily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kia shifted from one foot to the other, wondering if another egg would hatch. She looked at her hands. They were almost the normal, pale color they used to be.

[nike]

Nike smiled down at Kia. "I hope she Impresses." She murmed to herself.
She wanted the young girl to Impress. That would be good for her. She shoulder Impress.
Mabye she'll Impress the gold? That would be cool.

[curth]

Z'nir was very surprised when the brown came over and impressed him. ~Hello, Umm, why did you miss me, you ran right into me?~ asked Z'nir. I don't know, I guess I wasn't paying attention, but I'm very sorry and hungry. Z'nir led his brown off the sands.

[meggums]

“A few cracks?” B’kin repeated. He went over to see what was going on in the Hatching Grounds better, Ronoth following. He glanced at the remaining female candidates, which one would Impress the queen when she hatched?

[curth]

Kionath was now full and walked back and stood next to some other weyrlings. Z'nir was watching the sands to see what would pop out next of there egg. So, are you still mad at me? ~No, of course not!~ said Z'nir.

[nike]

Nike sat on he edge of her seat, leaning forward. Her elbows were rested on her knees, while her chin rested in her hands.
She watched the Hatching with wide, round eyes, wondering who would Impress what.

[Spirithawk]

Christae beamed at her weyrmate. "I will willingly submit myself to Nike's care, AFTER the hatching of course. I wouldn't miss our dragons' children's' births for the world."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rhia gave the Master Healer a welcoming smile. "It is so good to have you back and even better that you have your mastery. I take it Christae refused to let you see to her arm?" The brownrider had a rueful smile. She remembered the several times she had refused to see a healer when she needed it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The large egg that had been mistaken for a gold began to rock and cracks marred its smooth shell.

Simultaneously two others began to rock furiously. One seemed to collapse in on itself, revealing a deep burnished bronze on the sands, surrounded by its shell and egg goo. He was a good sized bronze. From the looks of it, he would grow to be nearly the size of his sire, a little smaller, but close.

[Miki]

Kia looked at the pretty little bronze. She smiled broadly, her eyes closed once more in her signature smile. Tokagae chirped happily from G;han's neck but then bellowed, not liking to be ignored. He rubbed his head against G'han's chin, cat-like.

[devi]

Abriana was dozing in the weyrling barracks when she was awoken with the queens shout. It took her mind a few seconds to process what she had heard and why all the other weyrlings where running around. She jumped to her feet rubbing sleep from her eyes and searched for her impression robe. By the time she found it and it was on her body, only a few of the candidates were left. She hurried through the halls praying that she wouldn't get lost. Thankfully, she only had to follow everyone else that was running towards the hatching sands as well.

She dashed into the hatching sands and was crestfallen; the first few eggs had already hatched! She didn't know what to do so she just stood there in the middle of the sands as everyone else seemed to be doing something. All she could do was watch the newly hatched bronze tumble onto the sands, she couldn’t impress a bronze so what WAS there to do?

[Tenma]

Miya eyed the bronze as it hatched. ~Maybe I will get a bronze.~ She thought happily to herself, though her emotions didn't show on her face.

--------------------------------------------------

"Look!" Nira exclaimed happily as the bronze hatched.


(Short sorry.)

[nike]

Sh'iron nodded. "Yeah but our dragons will have many more flights togeather." He said then turned back to the Hatching. He was worried, yes worried about his mate. He didn't show it, but he was terribley worried for her.
A grin appeared on his face when the bronze dragon hatched. The Weyrleader beamed, and grinned.
Two bronzes was a very good clucth.

---------------------------------------

Nike nodded. "Yeah, but she's the first one I gotta look at after the Hatching." The Healer said.
She grinned and sat up straigh when the bronze hatched. "I knew it!" She yelled jumping up, and pointing at the dragon.
"I knew it was a bronze. T'ran, F'tan you both ow me five Marks each!" The Healer turned around to face the Wingleader and the greenrider.

--------------------

T'ran sighed and shook his head. "Shells woman, you're the best one out of all of us. Here you go." The green rider gave over a few wodden coins to the Healer. He smiled then looked back at the Hatching.

-----------------------------

F'tan grimced. "Shards, well I know I'll get those back when that gray egg doesn't hatch." He said handing over the Marks.
He was normally great at this, but since Nike had attened so many Hatchings when she was a messanger for a Turn, she could tell what egg would hatch which color.

---------------------

NIke grinned and took the Marks. "Yes I am to good to be true!" The Healer put the Marks in her belt pouch then sat down.

[curth]

Zephyr saw the bronze hatch and he got very excited. Maybe this dragon was his, but maybe not. Then again he would really take anything he would get!

[Spirithawk]

The large cream colored egg was still rocking. Pieces of it chipped off, but the dragon inside could not be seen. Next to the Queen egg, it was the largest one left on the sands. The two other large eggs had hatched out bronzes. The remaining large egg wasn't nearly the size of the cream egg or the ones that the bronzes had hatched out of. The other rocking egg split but the hatchling didn't emerge.

The deep, burnished bronze hatchling blinked his jewel-faceted eyes in wonder. He was suprised to see the large golden and bronze shapes nearby and even more suprised to see the strange, awkward-looking two leggers.

[nike]

Nike grinned as she watched the eggs slowly hatch. She had forgotten about the little gray egg, and was wondering who would Impress the bronze.

[Spirithawk]

Christae looked up at her weyrmate. "Two bronzes! A brown, a green, two blues and several more eggs to hatch, including a Queen! Oh Sh'iron, this is more than I had hoped for!" Her eyes shone with hope. "It looks like our Weyr won't die after all."

[curth]

Zephyr was surprised to see a new egg. He had now a better chance of impressing one, but he looked at the grey one, how wonderful it would be to have a grey dragon. He just loved reading about dragons and hearing dragons in songs. He wanted to fly thread so much! It was his dream. Now the golden egg began to chip more and more away from its shell! There was of course two more blue eggs, a green, and a brown, so who knows what he might impress.

[nike]

Sh'iron grinned down at his Weyrmate. "Yes even better than anything I had hoped for. Dark Moon shall never die."
He said taking Christae into his arms, making sure he didn't touch her wound. The rider lifted up her head to his and slowly kissed her. A kiss that showed how happy he was for this Weyr, and for eveything that had happened to him.

[Miki]

Kia began to wonder if the Gold would hatch before the dragon meant for her. Then an obvious thought occured to her, she was one of the top choices for the Gold. There really wasn't that many girls who were standing as Candidates. She glanced uneasily at the egg. She wasn't sure she was responsible enough for the Queen.
