On the hatching sands, The egg seems to drop away from the form it encases without any obvious pressure, unveiling the pure creature it has cradled so lovingly. The curled body stirs, wings slowly opening as the head lifts to test the new environment. He lays still for a moment, his gaze turned first to his parents and then to his siblings. With sure poise he gains his feet, the fluids glistening along his clear, pure hide as water does on blue ice. Deliberately he turns, moving with ever increasing speed as his body responds to his wishes. Each face is scrutinized, where is that one perfect gem to match him?

On the hatching sands, Kieran stands still, quietly waiting for the dragons to choose.

On the hatching sands,

Brilliant Beryl Blue Dragonet

Two things make this dragon strikingly beautiful. First is the color; a very pale shade of blue. Deep and clear, but with just the slightest touch of green, it reminds you of looking into water, but the shade is wrong for the sea or any lake or stream. It is pure and perfect, but almost unnatural. The second thing that grabs your attention is the complete lack of other colors. His hide is one perfect and smooth piece. Without shade or highlights, he appears without flaw or inconsistency.

On the hatching sands,

Clear Chrysoprase Green Dragonet

This little dragonet is a dappled green. Her drying hide reminds you of a fresh spring apple, dew glistening in the morning sunlight. As you look closely, you can see the varying darker shades of green that streak and dot her shiny hide. She seems to be a bit shorter and perhaps a bit heavier than a typical dragonet, but it gives her an overall pleasant and friendly appearance.

On the hatching sands,

Tarnished Verdigris Bronze Dragonet

Silky smooth, rich bronze as pure as if just refined from the heart of the fire pours along a slightly elongated body, as if tail and torso had grown a bit faster than the rest. Overlaying the pure color of the coat are swirls, splotches and specks of colors that resemble the verdigris tarnish bronze acquires through time. Dark reddish-copper threads sinously with smaller specks of crystalline greens and tiny plumes of dull brass, barely perceivable. With an awkwardness that could be taken for shy indecision, and a quiet demeanor rare in one so young, he could easily be overlooked until you catch his gaze. Large, whirling, hypnotic with the force of quiet curiousity, his eyes take in everything occuring in the hectic world around him.

On the hatching sands, Elderan nods to the Bronze as it comes closer, "Nice choices...very pretty!"

On the hatching sands, Melata grins, glad to give directions.

On the hatching sands, The Shadows of Autumn Leaves Egg rocks back and forth in the sand.

On the hatching sands, Kyllaen's hand clenches a bit of his robe, his eyes remaining on the companionless bronze.

Sylvidre says "Drek...wait...""

On the hatching sands, The Shadows of Autumn Leaves Egg spins wildly.

Up on the ledges, Ileara settles down on the edge of the ledge after waving to various riders.

Up on the ledges, Cinne quirks a vague smile at Amara, tugging at her own braid. "I remember what it's like.."

On the hatching sands, Malord chuckles, and almost murmers something about picking it up if you don't liek it dragging. as the bronze inspects the candidates

On the hatching sands, Darkain looks at the bronze dragonet and smiles at him.. "Hey there, pick yer head up big guy, we're all happy to see you. no need to drag that tail around. :)"

Up on the ledges, Amara says "Shadows will be blue, I think. Or green.....definately green."

On the hatching sands, Rilym puts a hand to his mouth to keep from giggling, "Remain calm... " He nods and returns a serious look to the eggs and dragonettes, albeit with a slight grin.

On the hatching sands, Clear, ringing, strong, and commanding, the voice breaks through the shell as the tiny head rises. Pausing, still cradled in the midst of the shards, she turns her head to croon loudly in greetings to her parents before daintily rising. Her form is so tiny it barely seems able to contain such a voice. Unfurling her wings to the welcome heat of the sands she stands, motionless as if posed for an artist's attention. Hunger takes her, drawing a creel from her as she glides to the waiting circle.

On the hatching sands,

Pearled Peridot Green Dragonet

So tiny, so fragile, almost more of a dream than a reality, this little green regards life through large, prismatic eyes that look for warmth and affection. The shading of her hide is the pure green of young growing foliage spreading leaves to the sun, a soft olive color tinged along her wingtips and around her eyeridges with a lighter shade, highlighting the deceptive fragility of her form. A soft dusting of darker green and flecks of amber brown flow in soft swirls along the undersides of her overly large wings. As she croons, warbles, or trills her delight with life, her surprisingly loud voice makes her presence known.

Eriol squeezes Uma's hand a little and turns his attention toward the hatching thoughtfully

Up on the ledges, Amara grins.

Treyna sighs at the beauty. "Another Green!"

On the hatching sands, Lilandra stares in awe at the beauty of the new hatchling, and then smiles softly at the green from her place next to the other Candidates.

On the hatching sands, Tarnished Verdigris Bronze Dragonet hears Malord's suggestion and turns once again to look at the tail, he snorts goodnaturedly and doesn't think that would work, he looks at Malord again and considers.

Kiralyn sighs happily, "The greens are so delicate."

Krinda looks at Emne, Another Green... Who will she Impress?

Emne smiles "Yup. I like green"

Zanyr crosses his fingers!

On the hatching sands, Melata watches the green come out, and tries to shake some of the shards off her robe...without startling anybody, of course.

Up on the ledges, Bryena watches the sands curiously, as the little Bronze wanders back and forth.

Emne grins at Krinda "Who knows.."

Up on the ledges, A far away voice can be heard asking "When's the malachite green gonna hatching? There's -always- a malachite green..."

Up on the ledges, Elaelin leans closer to the edge, watching Malord.

On the hatching sands, Tawni wows at the beautiful green, and her hand instinctively goes to her side for her drawing pad. Almost blushing, she realizes she doesn't have it, and instead tries to memorize the details of her.

On the hatching sands, Veronica oooh's and smiles gently at the little green, "She's so tiny..."she mumers, "And delicate.."

Maia smiles at Zan. You might win your bet after all!"

Caervel smiles at Omali.... "Might have an impression before Tillek does...

On the hatching sands, Garlem grins and watches all the candidates.

Zanyr sighs sadly, he never wins at hatching, I should have bet on, umm, say, Rilym. :>

On the hatching sands, Elderan watches the Bronze as it stares at Malord.

On the hatching sands, Malord smiles to the Bronze, standing still, trying to think of the prehatching warnings, but still thinks with practice...

Omali says "Come on, bronze, choose him already."

On the hatching sands, Darkain smiles... "true, no good asking us,m we don't know... :) either way you get fed! no matter who you choose.. :)"

On the hatching sands, Rilym tilts his head and offers a nods to the little green, then returns to watch the bronze which is so near...

On the hatching sands, Pearled Peridot Green Dragonet shakes herself, her head shaking side to side and her wings ruffling opposite. She then holds herself up and looks herself over as if making sure everything's_just right_ before making her way to the candidates.

Celena holds her breath at the suspense.

Up on the ledges, Cinne sees a brief flash of dark green at the back of the clutch..no, no, sorry..that's ivy green...

On the hatching sands, Darkain laughs... "It'd be one fast blue or brown that would outfly her.. :)

On the hatching sands, Tarnished Verdigris Bronze Dragonet hears a giggle and turns to see where it came from, he sees Rilym, but Rilym isn't looking at him, he thinks for a minute and drags his tail over there, he looks at Rilym and then butts his hand gently to get his attention.

Aisha grins, "Go Rilym!"

Up on the ledges, S'drel peers over the ledge. "F'zik, if this is your way of showing displeasure from my relocating Caredth's weyr -under - the lake, this is not the proper time nor format."

On the hatching sands, Elderan grins at Rilym and watches the Bronze then turns to watch the Green

Up on the ledges, Farlioth rumbles excitedly.

Up on the ledges, P'tran chuckles and watches the people from Benden still on the sands ...

Up on the ledges, Elsa says "r'lyn? Someone should point that little error out to him!"

On the hatching sands, Tommy grins up at Darkain, turning her head again to look at the slate egg as it hatches.

On the hatching sands, Lilandra watches the little green nervously and ignores the rocking eggs as the green tries to find the one person for her...

Up on the ledges, Bryena wraps an arm around D'va as she leans down to get a better look.

Alaia sits down on the bench in a fit of histerical giggling, totally unable to contain herself.

On the hatching sands, Minute cracks finally begin to show on the Somber Slate Egg after minutes of frantic work.

Sylvidre giggles...."Phal, stop that, love:)

On the hatching sands, The egg breaks and cracks at the top to expose an evenly shaded blue snout. The dark blue body clambers out of the opening, squawking in alarm, as the egg, now extremely top heavy, falls over onto its side, depositing the dragon unceremoniously on the ground right in front of his father and mother. He creeeeeeels as he struggles to get off his back and onto his feet. After a few clumsy attempts, he rights himself and BUGLES proudly, only to lose his balance again and go stumbling off towards the candidates...

Maia thwacks Zan! "And leave me!"

Zanyr waves to Rolt!

On the hatching sands, Pearled Peridot Green Dragonet looks over her last choices, almost nodding to herself in self-assured satisfaction. She makes her way towards her lifemate...

On the hatching sands,

Shadowed Sapphire Blue Dragonet

The dark blue of this dragonet is striking and almost overwhelming as you gaze at the glistening hide. When he fans his wings(nearly black at the tips) to dry them, you can *just* see the light coming through, illuminating the hide to a deep and clear royal blue. The hide gets gradually lighter as you approach his middle, an even almost unnoticable fade to a lighter shade. His body and head are a still lighter shade of blue, but just as rich. You see traces of a darker blue in an uneven pattern across his belly and his body, like passing shadows.

Phalaza chitters, nuzzling Sylvidre's cheek.

Celena grins. "When is it ever warm at High Reaches?"

Up on the ledges, P'tran peers downward. "These hatchlings sure do know how to keep the suspense going ..."

Zanyr nopes, he is taking you with him. :)

Maia grins. "Oh, well okay then!"

Celena oohs at the breathtaking blue.

Krinda says "A Blue!! Who do you think he'll choose?"

Roltan walks over near Celena, "In the summer..."

On the hatching sands, Malord frets a little, head swinging as he notices the another blue hatchling.

Zanyr shrugs, "Same old stuff.. They hatch, they fuss, they get hungry, they impress. :>

On the hatching sands, The Spring Sunset Egg shudders.

Emne claps for her fellow baker

On the hatching sands, Shadowed Sapphire Blue Dragonet his head this way and that, exploring this strange new world he seems to have landed in. He croons helplessly before some instinct prompts him to stand up and begin wandering towards the people.

Emne says "Liselle!"

On the hatching sands, Tommy watches, her own eyes wide and excited as she see's the Green dragonet approach Lisselle. She bounces excitedly.

Zanyr is allowed to be!

On the hatching sands, Tawni smiles as the green chooses Liselle, and looks back to the eggs.

Up on the ledges, Bryena blushes sweetly. "All right, then."

Kiralyn mutters, "You don't Impress a _dragon_ by feeding it. It takes character, or something like that."

On the hatching sands, Liselle takes a deep breath and exclaims with joy, "Vyaneth!" before reaching out to embrace her.

Alaia laughs. "I saw! Yeah, Liselle!"

Scyllia stumbles away, the sounds and excitement becoming too much for her, and needing a break.

Up on the ledges, Bryena screams "ALL RIGHT LISELLE!"

On the hatching sands, Melata sniffles, she's a sucker for a hardcase.

On the hatching sands, Veronica chuckles at the little blue, and smiles warmly at Liselle, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She turns her starry eyes to the eggs.

Up on the ledges, Amara cranes her neck to see what color it is....

Zanyr would snicker at S'drel if he had heard that. :>

On the hatching sands, Lilandra smiles at Liselle and looks at Dalrianth's egg as it rocks, then glances at the little blue.

On the hatching sands, Kargon smiles at Liselle impress, he watches the friends he made during his candidacy impress around him, he smiles and nods to each one, also keeping track of the shaking eggs and the young dragons.

Krinda says "whatever comes out of the Sunset Egg is gonna be REAL dizzy!"

Up on the ledges, Dalrianth bugles down to the sands as she sees the sunset egg move!

On the hatching sands, Tommy wows, watching the egg as it starts to spin around, her eyebrows going way up into her forhead!

Eriol chuckles at Uma.... "never knew you crooned"

On the hatching sands, The Spring Sunset Egg starts to crack.

Up on the ledges, D'va laughs at Bryena, covering his ears, then chuckles. "Arden won't be too happy about that."

On the hatching sands, Tawni figits nervously on the hot sands, lifting one foot, then the other as she watches the sunset egg.

On the hatching sands, Shadowed Sapphire Blue Dragonet to move with more certainty, although he quickly turns aside from the brighter center sands to study those standing on the edges, becoming one more shadow among the many at that end of the sands.

On the hatching sands, Flecks of shell break off the Spring Sunset Egg.

Up on the ledges, Dalrianth watches the egg very closely.

On the hatching sands, The egg cracks and crumbles, falling away from its contents to reveal a perfect little green dragonet. She looks up to her parents as though sleepily waking from a blissful nap. Her croon is a high and lilting noise, modulated slightly at the end as she realizes that she's hungry and lonely. She stands shakily at first, but then gains her legs and her composure before calmly taking the first few steps towards the gathered crowd of potential mates.

Sylvidre warbles softly...:)

Uma grins at Eriol, "Every once in a while..."

Alaia sets down Morvidd gently.

Up on the ledges, Bryena grins. "I'll just have to talk him out of it, then."

Up on the ledges, P'tran hmms and peers over the edge, watching quietly ..

Sylvidre shrugs...Drek is kinda private...

Up on the ledges, Elsa peers downward, squinting as she tries to see the eggs. "How many are there left?"

On the hatching sands, Kyllaen watches the blue closely, the glimmers of hope remaining.

Up on the ledges, Amarashakes her head out, "What did Liselle Impresses? What was it's name?"

On the hatching sands, Melata loses track of the blue as his hide blend into the shadows. Then grins at the new green arrival.

Eriol grins...

On the hatching sands, Veronica seems slightly dizzy from watching the sunset egg whirl so fast, and just about jumps back with the delight of aother lovely green.

Eriol clears his throat... "Croon"

Up on the ledges, Kistyanna leans over and whispers something to S'drel and giggles, glancing towards the stands.

On the hatching sands, Lilandra turns her attention to the newest hatchling, and can only describe her to be almost as lovely as Dalrianth. "Wow..."

On the hatching sands, Darkain smiles in welcome to the new green, encouraging her to come see us, at the same time encouragng the little blue to find his lifemate... "Don't worry, there must be someone here for oyu.

Up on the ledges, D'va chuckles. "I guess so."

Emne takes a deep breath and fans her face flushing from the brief excitement of seeing a fellow crafter Impress

On the hatching sands,

Subdued Serpentine Green Dragonet

This calm little girl is either shy or unsure of herself or just very relaxed. As her wings and body dry, the glistening wetness gives way to a very intricate pattern of matte greens. Her body is exemplary of dragonkind, perfect in every dimension. An even coat of medium green is blanketed by a random pattern of darker and lighter patches ranging from the deep green of the ocean at dawn to the palest green of fine spring grass. Her eyes are the only thing that break the symphony of green colors; two glittering rubies set within a serpentine dragonet head.

Sylvidre smiles at celena...but why not?:)

Up on the ledges, D'va grins. "Glad I don't have to break the news."

Sinking slowly below Kiralyn's shoulder, Sunset hums for the hatching sunser-colored egg.

On the hatching sands, Tommy grins hugely, watching the green hatch out of the spinning egg and wows! again, hopping from foot to foot.

Phalaza croons at Morvidd.

Up on the ledges, Dalrianth bugles loudly as she sees it is green!

On the hatching sands, Shadowed Sapphire Blue Dragonet picks up the pace, moving rapidly past Candidates. Frustrated, he stops in his tracks to bugle his frustration to those nearest him.

On the hatching sands, Erith trills, a sweet falling sound, twining her tail with Orillenth's as she watches with deep delight.

Up on the ledges, Cinne thinks a moment, then answers Amara. "Green, I think. Vyaneth."

Treyna waves to Alanna. "Glad you could make it!"

Phalaza chitters at Alanna.

Up on the ledges, Bryena winks at her Weyrmate, trying not to look depressed at the very idea.

Eriol nods.... "Yeah.... the harpers would kill me"

On the hatching sands, Melata says "Dal must be proud! Then sees the Blue Dragonet as he steps out of the shadows and startles her."

On the hatching sands, Darkain smiles..."You must be very hungry, little blue... but don't get uptight, just look around alittl ,ore... "

Krinda says "Hi Alanna!!"

On the hatching sands, Tommy turns her gaze away from the green to look at the Blue, saying, "Aww...ya aint found a friend yet?

On the hatching sands, Malord cringes back a little from the blue, watching it as calmly as possible.

On the hatching sands, Darkain says "a little more rather""

Sylvidre kinda noticed that...:)

On the hatching sands, Kargon watches the blue, "Just look all of us over carefully, young one, you'll know the right one when you see him or her."

On the hatching sands, Lilandra chuckles at the loud and sudden appearance of the blue from the shadows and grinz at both the blue and green.

On the hatching sands, Veronica unknowingly holds her breath, holding her hands so tightly together her fingers turn white. She's at a loss for words.

Krinda says "Can anyone see how many eggs are left?"

On the hatching sands, Subdued Serpentine Green Dragonet stops looking at the candidates to look up to the ledges, and then looks back to the candidates, she warbles softly.

On the hatching sands, Kyllaen watches the new hatchlings with watchful interest, clasping the edges of his robe with white- knuckled hands.

Treyna shakes her head at Krinda as she tries to see better. "I can't tell!"

Phalaza spreads her wings, careful not to hit Sylvidre's head or anyone elses'.

On the hatching sands, Ariandra murmurs laughing, "Dalrianth was right..it WAS a green!"

On the hatching sands, Shadowed Sapphire Blue Dragonet moves towards Elderan, his eyes whirling red with hunger and anxiety. He bugles again, somewhat desperately this time.

On the hatching sands, Melata would like too look up at the ledges as well, but is studing the blue in case he tries to slip away and startle her again.

On the hatching sands, Darkain smiles as all the little dragonets wander around, trilling and crooning back at them.

On the hatching sands, Cheers go up as two dragons hatch simultaneously! A sky Blue and a sea Green make their way out and like twins, both move off towards their lifemates. Another cheer erupts as theyboth Impress at the same time!

On the hatching sands, Shards burst and fly, scattered around the mound like the hard rain of summer that moistens the ground with wild intensity. He lays on his back, limbs still pushed upwards as if to ensure no other obstacle remains. Rolling over, his eyes begin to seek, targeting objects of interest. He stands too quickly, his angular body not quite coordinated enough to prevent him from falling. One wing is captured under a leg, but swiftly released as he rises now with a slower, controlled determination and marches out towards the line.

On the hatching sands,

Radiant Sardonyx Brown Dragonet

He glows in the smallest amount of light, his rich brown hide deeper than the finest topaz, with a luster and sheen highlighted by grained patterns of amber. The vanes of his wings are lighter, ripples of amber sheeting along them like a gentle rain. A swirl of deeper color runs in a sinuous pattern along his spine, undulating as he moves. His radiant form is a trifle angular, making him appear as sharp and harsh as a shard of rock upthrust from a mountain peak. The intensity of his gaze gives indication of a determination and drive as strong and hard as rock.

Sylvidre jitters...

Up on the ledges, P'tran grins and watches more closely, intrigued at the thought of Tommy Impressing ...

On the hatching sands, Darkain puts a steady hand on Tommy's shoulder... "remember though Tommy, we're not supposed to approach them like that. let her choose. :)"

Celena chuckles. "Well, now that _that's_ been settled..."

On the hatching sands, Malord says tentatively "I don't know, I thought we were told not to approach, Tommy" before the sudden commotion causes him to glance brownways.

On the hatching sands, Radiant Sardonyx Brown Dragonet marches smartly towards a figure in the center of the action, who has been the subject of much attention from others recently, but who knew in their hearts that this Candidate was destined for someone else.

Up on the ledges, Cerilla grins at P'tran as she looks down at the little brown hatchling, and reaches up to scritch Varquith as he whuffles her.

Sylvidre pouts...

On the hatching sands, Subdued Serpentine Green Dragonet stares at Tommy for a long moment, then turns quickly to look at another girl. She finally decides that she is STILL not close enough, she gets closer to Tommy and then shakes her head in disappointment, especially since she has to move again, she looks at a candidate near by, this one shows promise..

On the hatching sands, Even Kyllaen's eyes widen as he regards the angular brown, and his softer sister behind. He watches, and waits, and wishes.

Uma brushes Eriol's hair, smiling, "Isn't it, though!"

Sylvidre grins then...:)

Roltan says "I'm taking a shot in the dark. :) OOC- I looked at the WHO list. :):):)"

Corsair had no doubts that it would be.

Zanyr crosses his fingers for Malord! 1000 marks!

On the hatching sands, Melata looks around at all the Candidates still on the sands...who is this brown looking for?

On the hatching sands, Malord looks, and smiles as the Green makes up her mind. He watches a little bit, then turns his head back to see where the Brown is looking about.

On the hatching sands, Tawni tentatively reaches out to touch the green hatchling. "S=Saphrith?"

On the hatching sands, Radiant Sardonyx Brown Dragonet looks carefully at Malord, as though measuring him. His eyes whirl brightly, but somehow seem to blend with his marching step as he approaches ever nearer to him.

On the hatching sands, Ariandra smiles softly, "Oh..yes..yes..!"

On the hatching sands, Radiant Sardonyx Brown Dragonet moves his head until it is only a few inches from Malord's. He cocks his head from side to side, regarding him with one great eye and then another.

On the hatching sands, Tawnis eyes are filled with incredible joy and love as she grins almost foolishly at the hatchling. "What? You're hungry? Th-this way!"

On the hatching sands, Tommy girns at Tawmi.

In the center of the hatching grounds cavern, the sand which varies in color from dark tan to pure white has been gathered up into a low mound, and this is where the queen has layed her eggs. Here Erith has watched over the eggs, turning them as they hardened in the heat of the sands. She would frequently rearrange the fine grained sand, smoothing it and making new depressions into which she rolled her glowing, mottled eggs of soft muted or marbled coloring. The clutch was large, boasting a generous total of 33 eggs. But now the carefully groomed sands have been scattered and trampled, the beautiful mottled eggs lay as nothing but shards, broken pieces of shell glistening in the sands. 33 new pairs have gone off for first feedings and oilings and getting acquainted. And High Reaches now adds 13 green, 10 blue, 6 brown, and 4 bronze weyrlings to its roster.
