"Kawaii!" A bronze large dragon screamed in the cold
morning sky of Chindor Castle. The dragon had come to the world of Icarus to see
the hatching of strange dragons with fur and duo wings. But as Lykingthoskydsth
saw it, more loving to give to them. Lykingthoskydsth has always had a small
weakness for hatchlings, no wonder his lair is looking like this (points at the
picture above).
Although he knows that he can never have a hatchling in the way he wants, he
can't help but scream KAWAII every time he sees little eggs lying on the
hatching sands.
Now that very hatchling had paired up with an aspirant (as they called
candidates on Icarus), there was nothing left for him to see on this world, and
made plans to leave it and go to the next hatching.
Lykingthoskydsth was born on April Fools Day. And from
the moment that he knew how to fly, he visited every hatching that he could get
in too. Today wasn't any different. He had heard of a new clutch at Lantessama;
a special clutch for the summer. He just had to think of all the bright colours
and small dragons, and he was off.

Travelling as fast as light, he came on the world called
Lantessama. There he walked silently into the hatching grounds. (he had a
special sense that brought him directly to these grounds)
There they were.. Lots and lots of small eggs, and even smaller eggs mixed
together. He had never seen such small eggs, and instantly fell in love with the
eggs. Although he knew he couldn't touch any of the eggs, he couldn't help but
feel the warmth on his paw. And before he could stop himself, he touched one of
them. And was that a small answer to his paw? a soft kick?
Lykingthoskydsth felt how the words came from the deepest place in his body,
towards his mouth, and screamed KAWAII! But because of those words, attention
was drawn to him.
"What are you doing here?" A tanned girl with pearly white teeth asked
him.
"I just wanted to see the eggs.." Lykingthoskydsth answered softly.
Feeling sorry for the fact he had screamed and by that making the conversation
with the small one very short.
"You aren't signed up jet are you?" The tanned girl with blond hair
said to the large bronze dragon.
"N... No, Can I?" He had never though of impressing a small hatchling
himself. Although he knew it would grow, he would love it just the same, with
all his heart, and protect it against everything it was scared of.
"Of course! Follow me." The girl turned around and walked slowly to
the exit.
"I'll be back sweaty.." The dragon whispered quickly and turned his
tail around the eggs and squeezed it softly. A small thump from inside the eggs
made it clear that the hatchling was waiting impatiently.

The soft summer breeze gently caressed the trees on tree peak isle,
lingered for a moment before dieing down and letting the sun take up her
reign again. Cyan let her face bask in the light for a moment before she
left her greenhouse and headed for the fazzle garden.
The usually lively garden filled with it's living flowers was bustling
with life even more today. Cyan scanned the waiting crowds and headed over
for Lucas who was too busy with the last preparations to notice a bomb
exploding next to him, let alone her walking in calmly.
"Are you sure you're ok with the eggs
hatching here?" she asked.
It had been her suggestion to leave the holiday cavern once and have the
summer hatching outside. Maybe last year's run had influenced her, she
couldn't be sure, but somehow summer festivals should be celebrated
outside in stead of in a cool shady cavern. She shrugged, besides,
butterflies looked great with flowers.
"You were right about the fazzles, they do
seem to be interested in these eggs." Lucas said, "If
only they'd keep away from the eggs. I don't want any impressing a
dragon."
"They won't." Cyan reassured him, "They
just want to look at all the pretty colours that are going to hatch."
Cyan sighed, "That's one thing they have in
common with Trix, the brighter the colours, the prettier she thinks they
are. Have you seen what she has done to the records room? That's just too
much yellow." Cyan shuddered.
Lucas smiled, "There's nothing we can do
about that, so don't get worked up about it. Today at least you're outside
among the greenery you love."
"That's true." Cyan sighed, "Zaranyth,
how long?"
"They are getting close to hatching."
the sun dragoness spoke back to her rider, "It's
fun getting to see a holiday hatching again."
Certainly, the holiday cavern would have been cramped again with the
candidates that had signed up for this year's clutch. There were two
dragons, neither of them the general small size of Lantessaman dragons who
would have certainly felt cramped inside the tiny underground cavern. With
them inside there would hardly be room for the humans, elves, faes, imp
and butterfly shifter to also find a comfortable place to follow the
hatching from, let alone enough airspace.
Out in the open, everyone had plenty of room and none of the
candidates had to worry about not being able to see the eggs that were
laid out in a casual pattern. In between the smaller and larger eggs,
fazzles were indeed crawling, walking or dangling, as if they thought the
meadow wasn't colourful enough for these eggs. Flowers in all colours
seemed to have sprouted overnight and them moving only made the whole feel
more like a magical forest. Maybe the summer imp Ha was responsible for
the sudden bloom in flowers, or for the eggs' sudden eagerness to hatch.
Maybe it was the elves, or just bad timing. Either way, it didn't seem
like Lucas would be able to finish his decorations before the first egg
cracked it's shell.
Pulling Lucas' pants, Cyan whispered: "Get
down, it's starting." as the first of the eggs made a
sudden lunge. Being a center egg, it's movements caused quite a stir. It
had been one of the bigger eggs, making it's shattering strength enough to
knock over several smaller ones that had been around it. The first-born
purple-orange female butterfly blinked as she was suddenly surrounded with
a flock of rainbow-coloured flit-sized butterfly dragons.
Lykingthoskydsth stood a bit lonely at
the far edge of the meadow, hidden partly by the shadows from the first
trees of the forest. Though some had approached him at first, his love for
cute things was easily misunderstood. He could not help himself but to
look longingly at all the hatchlings that were on the meadow and all the
eggs that still held promise. But what hatchling would approach him
knowing that the larger they got, the less cute they would be, and thus
the less desirable in Ly's eyes.
"I think you're pretty cute too."
a soft voice hesitantly spoke, "I like your
bells."
Ly brought his front paws up to his head, catching a yellow male
butterflyt. While the small body felt warm in his clutches, Ly could not
stop the bells and horns going of in his heart and mind.
"You are so cute, Haruka."
he whispered.
Two more butterflyts, females, one orange, one pink, flew closer. But
before Ly could look at them, Haruka squirmed free and fended them
off.
"Away! He's mine."
"Don't you want more friends?"
Ly asked, all the other flyts had gone of in pairs, well aside from that
one that had been dragged by the pink beauty.
"I don't want you thinking of others."
the yellow sobbed, "Only think of me."
Leaving the unlikely couple to talk things over for themselves, the other
two butterflyts flew around aimlessly. They had not been too interested in
the big dragon, but they had wanted to make friends with their
brother.
