HATCHING
Taylor
woke up from his blissful slumber when eager thoughts of Klierth reached
his mind. The dragonrider of the white Quartz Planet felt Naderenya's
bond, Sekally, stir beside him. The two of them had grown closer over the
past months while the eggs their dragons had produced had been hardening
on the sands of Lantessama Isle.
It
seemed that it were those same eggs that were worrying Klierth and
Naderenya now. No, not worrying, Klierth corrected his rider, "They
are hatching."
"I'll
alert the officials." Taylor
shouted out, jumping up to run out of the cavern, but he was stopped by
Klierth who shook his head.
"They have already been alerted, the candidates are on their
way."
"So we just have to wait?"
Both
dragons nodded as the first inhabitants of the dragon adoption agency
started to file in, seeking a good place on the nearby tribunes, or just
lingering around the sands to watch the hatching from a closer vantage
point.
Taylor
helped Sekally up and whispered, "I
don't like to just wait."
"Enjoy
the spectacle." Naderenya
answered in stead of her bond, "You'll
like it."
"Is
this a woman's thing?" Taylor
asked Klierth.
"It's
a parent thing." Klierth said with a look
that would not allow disobedience."
Taylor
shrugged, "Watch
from where?"
"Here
is fine." Sekally
said, "I
want to be really close when these eggs hatch, I kind of missed it when
Naderenya found me." Sekally
had been one of those candidates mysteriously transferred right into the
middle of the hatching by unknown forces. Though the phenomenon was kind
of disturbing for the people involved, it also made you feel warm and
fuzzy that there might be a force out there that guided people. Or so
Taylor thought even when he had never been a religious person, just
sometimes he felt philosophical.
"When
you feel remorse for the amount of liquor you drank the night
before..." the
faintest wisp of a thought reached him, Klierth sometimes felt the need to
scold him by stating things as a fact. Taylor shrugged, he hadn't gotten
drunk for quite a while now, not since the women had taken over the
cafeteria with their espresso machine.
Sekally
nudged his side, pulling him away from his train of thought, "It's
starting."
The
last egg exploded, throwing up sand that obscured the sight for a few
moments until it setteled down again. From behind the curtain of sand, the
silhouette of a small female dragoness became visible. The hatchling was
almost completely black, with just a tad of silver woven into her wings.
Even though she was dark, her hide shone with countless little flecks of
light, as if she was mimicking the night sky. Yet she did not have the air
of a midnight, she seemed much more fragile, almost too fragile to be
here.
the
hatchling coughed with a high voice. The spectators arched closer, trying
to decide what they were seeing. Waiting for the hatchling to speak again.
There were no candidates left on the sands. Bets were being made if the
hatchling would remain on Lantessama or if she would disappear just as she
seemed to be fated to.
"My name is Avarya." the
hatchling suddenly said, "I'd like
to stay for a while."
Muted
curses rose from the audience, alongside soft cheers depending on whether
the person belonged to the winning or losing side of the bets made. When
still no-one moved, Naderenya, beckoned for her daughter to come
closer, "I shall take care of you,
Avarya. Oh, do you have a name for your colour?"
"Star sky, maybe?" Klierth
suggested.
Avarya
blinked and shook her head, "My
colour is lingering hope."
Taylor
smirked, "Figured she'd take on the naming classes of her
mother who was also born here, but good try."
Klierth
tried to redeem his figure, "Well I'm her parent too, and
anyways, the name suits her, she certainly is as pretty as her
mother."
"Whatever you say."

STORY
Avarya looked around the Rapture and felt instantly intimidated by the
amount of people around. She was a quiet and thoughtful dragoness who took
her time to form an opinion. And the Rapture and Healing Den Ballroom, the
Labs and the Stage... they'd need a lot of thinking before she would be
able to classify the experience in a neat little space in her
mind.
Avarya fluttered to a shadowy balcony colour and remained there, resting
and waiting until she was ready to face the people. The dragons knew of
her arrival but kept quiet since she meant no harm. She was small enough
to remain unnoticed if she played her cards well.
