HATCHING
The waves collided gently with the sand, making beautiful art on the beach
under a bright blue sky with not a wisp of cloud in sight. A soft breeze
blew land inward and touched the eggs that had been laid last Easter. This
year there had been no need for bunnies to hide the eggs, not with the ten
mothers and several helpers to carry on the tradition. Knowing the time
was near the females had set out with their eggs, some hiding them and
leaving the eggs for candidates to find, and others remaining with their
eggs.
At the last count the number of eggs had been hesitantly set to 80, but
no-one knew if that number was anywhere near correct. Still, things always
worked out on Lantessama and no-one had a doubt that today as well
everyone would find a dragon to bond with, with some to spare to sponsor
out to other planets.
Lucas was taking care of the last arrangements when a whole cluster of
small dragons gathered around him. As with the flight, the mini cocktail
dragons were to be used as the eyes and ears of the record keepers and as
guards for the few candidates who ran into a clutch of hatching hydra,
disturbing the mother. Hopefully there wouldn't be too much of that. This
time Lucas' own Vodka Zast was in charge of the fair of miniature dragons
and would remain high in the air to coordinate. Eris, Trix' ice would stay
behind to relay information to her bond about the impressions and Cyan's
Raspberry Purple would stay on Evilness' tail to make sure he wouldn't do
anything to disturb the eggs. The little dragon took his job very serously,
fastening himself to Evilness' tail and not letting go. Cyan had kept her
eyes on him for the past months, but was still certain he was up to
something even if he didn't show a sign of bad behaviour.
"Are the candidates
ready?" Lucas asked
Cyan.
"Trix is making sure
all of them get the concept, though what is so hard about an egg hunt, I
don't know." Cyan
shrugged, "Whatever
gets her secure, I can't stand her when she's nervous."
"Tight strung?"
Lucas asked.
"Break a twig in her
vicinity and she would explode."
Cyan giggled.
Finally all the candidates were let loose on the same track where the run
had taken place. The females had scattered their eggs all around, many of
the untended ones being bunnies who could imagine no other way of being
born except to be found.
2 eggs cracked in Girth's cherubun clutch revealing a small
yellow female and oddly, a black male. No candidates were around, but the
two cherubuns wouldn't have noticedd any. Their eyes met when they crawled
from the egg and didn't part.
"Bloesem." the black
whispered.
"Yes, Immernacht, mine?" she
asked.
"Will we elope?"
"I hear
Dragon
Tears is wonderful around this time of
year." the yellow said, blushing a bit, highlighting her
cheeks a glossy pink.
"I'd follow you to the end of the world. We
will set out tonight."
