The
Hatching
Spring sunlight warmed the sands that lay nestled in between the three
Lantessama mountains. The 5 Gem dragonesses had shared the sands amicably,
each surrounded by her own eggs while the two male Gem dragons fluttered
about, guarding the eggs from unwanted attention. Friendly visitors
however had been allowed and even encouraged to come closer to the eggs as
the dragonesses whispered among themselves about which candidates might be
liked by which growing dragon foetus. The finders had ventured out,
messages had been sent throughout the nexus and a varied group of
candidates had found their way to Lantessama to try out for the small,
winged snake dragons. There were humans of course, but also dragons, furry
humanoids and magical beings. Some had already bonded before and were accompanied
by their dragons while others were just starting out on the journey that
was dragon-rearing.
The sun had just reached it's zenith, it's warm light shining down
directly on the sands when the Gem dragons starting the telltale hum of
imminent hatchings. The sound was picked up by dragons all over the island
and not a soul was left to wonder about the event that was about to
happen. Candidates rushed to the sands and spectators drew closer, joining
the happy ambiance of the celebration. The first festival to occur in more
than a decade was certainly a good omen for the years to come.
Three eggs from two different clutches hatched in rapid succession
and the hatchlings looked at each other to determine which one would go
first. After a short mental discussion one of them moved toward the
candidates. It seemed to be wild and unrestrained as it
prowled toward Citrobacter, the quiet
and very restrained musical magician that enjoyed knitting and all things
yarn. As the dragonet neared the man of it's choice, it lunged and
playfully swatted at the piece of yarn that hung loose from it's bond's
pocket.
"I can't resist your yarn."
it purred.

Adults
After their dragons had matured,
the 8 musical magicians had returned to their homeworld to continue their
work. Eager to use the powers of the 12 gem dragons in their upcoming
show, both humans and winged snakes were planning how they could work
together best.
"It's quite obvious what Layra should do." Klebsiella said,
"She just has to use her singing power to add an extra dimension to
our songs. I believe she can even sing in a key humans can't hear but will
still register."
"And she would be even greater if we paired her up with My Ruby
Boday." Proteus commented.
"Are we matchmaking now?" Aranicola grinned."
"Well, you have to admit that their powers are well-matched in some
combinations." Sodalis mused, "It's like they knew how they
could be useful to us."
"That is in our nature."
Layra commented, "And I really like
Budau."
"I like you as well." Budau
answered, "I shall carry your tune and make
it as beautiful as it can be."
Klebsiella also noticed that her other Gem dragon, Argenzo was often found
around her husband's Moonstone gem dragon Jirreen. Both had powers that
had to do with ligth. So having them work on light effects was just a
natural evolution.
"I shall bring the intuitive powers of the
moonlight down to the audience." Jirreen said.
"And I shall reflect it into their
hearts." Argenzo added.
Sodalis looked at his own little Peridot Green winged snake Cagas and
said: "I know he likes your little Carnelian Garibadya, Aranicola.
And their powers of blooming and fireworks does mix beautifully. But you
have two dragons. How will that work?"
"It matters not." said
Cagas, "We can work together the three of
us."
"I like them both."
Garibadya added, "But the love is different.
Like a spark of friendship and a fireworks of passion."
As Aranicola was putting ribbons into her Mica dragon Hattaun's horns, she
mentioned:
"I think Hattaun would actually pair up really well with
Arsenophonus' Mihebe. She can augment his talent of beautifying and think
of how easy it would be to mix our songs with those two!"
Arsenophonus' Topaz Mihebe, snuggled closer to Aranicola and crooned as
she got a little ribbon tied to her horns as well.
"It is a beautiful power to augment." the
Topaz dragoness sighed.
"And I could ask for none better to help
me." Hattaun said, "We'll
make an experience no-one will forget."
Erwinia frowned and said: "But what about Vazyri and Zornix? They're
about as opposite as can be."
And indeed Arsenophonus' male black coal dragon and her own bright blue
aquamarine serpent had contrasting powers of fire and water. But she had
to admit that they spent a lot of time in each other's company.
"We do have a joint talent, Erwinia."
Vaztyri said.
"When I set fire to her bubbles we make..." Zornix waited
for dramatic pause.
"Steam." Arsenophonus grinned.
And what about our dragons?" Morganella asked her husband
Citrobacter. Her own dark blue dragoness, Corine, could control electrical
currents and lightning. His brown tiger's eye Konkisu could command
animals. And while her dragoness was suave and constrained, his was wild
and unrestrained.
"Don't worry, Morganella."
Corine said, "I'm quite happy to stay in the
shadows and help with the lighting and electrics. Now you can perform
wherver you want, even without a decent power supply."
"And in those forests, caves and other
natural dwellings I can work my magic." Konkisu added with
eager eyes.
