Wild Clutch 2

The eggs are hatching. The thought vibrated through the isle in more than a few dragons, humans and odd creatures. It was not necessary to ask which eggs were hatching because an image accompanied the thought, a view of the ocean with four large sea dragons playing in the water, jumping and swimming around the four nekrat eggs that had been donated by the resident flock of unbonded nekrats.
The shores were nearly empty since all candidates for this clutch were water-dwelling. One mermaid there was and four sibling sea dragons that had come from Xidaver Isle. The only 'normal' human candidate that had been listed on this clutch had not shown up for the hatching claiming that since her clearvoyant winter ceadra had told her she would not bond today she might as well go watch the other clutch hatch. So you could hardly call her normal, though only 5 minutes after the nekrat clutch had begun showing signs of hatching, the two nebula's had also started bugling, leaving the bay void of spectators.
Not that anyone cared. the dragons were busy conversing among themselves and Penelay, the mermaid, was busy with Iyru and Relaynah, the first couple of bonded nekrats to have a clutch in the bay. 
Thus it came as quite a surprise when Akinna suddenly shouted: "One of the eggs has broken!"
7 pairs of eyes scanned the water around them, but they saw nothing, until bright blue tail lunged from the water, followed by the wet body of a female wave.
"Rothyst!" the wave shouted, "Look at me! No hands!"
The grey male dragon chuckled and said: "Let me see you do that without flippers."
"I will practice." the Wave said with a serious look in her eye, "But not now."
"No, I can feel you're faint with hunger. Let me catch you a fish."
Not much later all the water dragons were holding a fish or two in their mouths, ready to feed whatever nekrat wanted to come their way. 
Maybe it was the smell of fresh, raw fish, or maybe it was something else, but suddenly 2 more eggs burst, creating small whirlpools in the water where they had been. Had, because the nekrats inside, surprisingly three of them, were already on the move.
The first to reappear above surface was a bright red female coral. She made her way carefully toward her chosen, Penelay. When she got there she looked deep into her eyes and said: "I can find your family for you, but until that time, let me be all that you need. My family is big and they will help us whenever we need it."
"Farrah." Penelay said, "I'm so happy that you came to me, but I have no fish to feed you."
She suddenly felt a nudge on her shoulder and saw Iyru hovering above her shoulder, carrying a fish to feed Farrah.
"I told you my family is big. Thank you my mother's cousin twice removed on her father's side."
Meanwhile, the two others, one female, one male, surfaced from the water. They were headed for the three available water dragons, looking left and right to see which one of them they might pick. Finally the female Sand made the first choice.
"Kathyst." she said, "Chill dude! I'm just here to give you a good time, get you to more places, and who knows what the future might bring. That's too far ahead anyway."
Kathyst grumbled in protest at the so unlike him nekrat, but despite his efforts, the bond had been made and he was glued to the bright yellow female that immediately dragged her twin brother in front of Xithyst and said: "Now you."
The Purple Well looked hassled and was clearly not happy with how his sister had dragged him in front of a sea dragon just like that, taking his grand entrance away from him. Adjusting his finnae he finally said: "I did pick you, Xithyst. You are like a gentle anemone in a sunfilled ocean's morning. You should not hide yourself."
The purple sea dragoness seemed to blush as she crooned, dropping her head down, giving the fish to her still small companion. "Do you really mean that Anthon?"
"Of course, my lady, I would never lie. You know that don't you."
"Yes."
The last egg took it's time to hatch, but when it finally was ready, it made it's presence known by a huge splash of water, the nekrat inside jumping from the water until it seemed like it could fly. Floating down with all his flippers extended, the emerald deep sea, looking vaguely like Iyru, but greener as if he didn't come from the top layers of the sea, but from deeper, darker waters, swam toward the last remaining sea dragon.
"Zethyst!" he called to the indigo-blue sea dragoness, "I waited last to let you see that there was nothing darker in this clutch than me."
"That Purple Well was rather dark as well." Zethyst replied, "And what if someone else had bonded me?"
"That Purple Well isn't worth being called dark. He's a powerless, dareless teacher! And I told everyone that if they bonded you I'd hurt them. I told them of all the trips we'd make and that I would never take any of them along with me!"
"Such devotion..." Zethyst said, "You are the right one for me, Oliveren."
"Now feed me."
Zethyst lowered her mouth to feed Oliveren and wondered briefly if she would have to catch twice the amount of fish she was used to from now on.
"Not at all, this is just tradition." Oliveren replied, "I'm very capable of catching some on my own." his bright eyes glinted dangerously and his mouth grinned catlike, so ready to hunt that no-one doubted he'd have any problems of finding fish on his own.
