Illya and
Dolphin Diepte
Illya looked in awe as he saw his
wife trudge out of the water holding the water female. In some way he was
jealous of her. He could only be happy, but she had made it seem so easy.
Not everyone on these sands bonded. Sometimes the eggs just wouldn't
hatch. Illya prayed this wouldn't happen at the time.
Illya resumed his waiting stance and held out the plushie as he had seen
Elayne doing. The little multicoloured toy sparkled in the sunlight and
seemed all a dragon would want. He had seen hatchlings playing before,
they had a tendency to walk around, carrying plushies on their back.
In a momentary loss of rationality he pushed the dragon plushie under
water and played a bit with it. Apparently that worked. An egg, not far
from him cracked open and out swam a lean grey shape.
"Plushie?" the dolphin asked.
Illya threw the toy toward the dolphin who instantly rolled around a few
times making a backflip in the deeper water.
"Diepte happy." he announced.
"Go dad!" Stassyn shouted when he saw what had happened.
Those words meant more to Illya than he would ever admit. He had been lost
for 8 years. He wouldn't have minded if Stassyn had stopped calling him
dad... but that didn't mean Illya stopped hoping he would.
