On the hatching sands, Kistyanna crosses her fingers!

On the hatching sands, Once finally free of his shards, this large brown looks as though he wishes he could climb right back into his shell, to be away from the crowd and all the attention.

On the hatching sands, This well-formed brown dragonet seems slightly surprised to see his egg fall away from him, and noses curiously at the shards with his rounded snout. At first, you think it's only the lighting in the cavern causing the chiaroscuro effect of light and dark on his hide. However, as he moves closer to the group of Candidates, you see his hide somewhat resembles a tortoise shell, with areas of a deep burnished brown, and areas of lighter browns that gleam with an almost golden hue.
