Clutch 29--Avodoth and Vheyth
| It had been a week
and a half since Teah's death, and the Dragonry had returned mostly to normal.
Except for the Weyrleaders. "We cannot keep ignoring it. We've got to form
some fighting wings, or something!" Rahel snapped at the Weyrleader. A'ra
replied stoicly, "There's no way of knowing that those...creatures-"
"Deingons." Rahel interrupted. A'ra snorted and continued. "Deingons,
then-will ever attack again." Their arguement likely would have continued in
this manner for quite some time, had Avodoth's ringing bugle not announced the
hatching of her clutch. As it was, they shared exasperated looks with each other
and strode to the Hatching Cavern. Avodoth was flitting around her rocking
eggs nervously, her rider trying to calm her down, but it wasn't until the
candidates filed in that she settled down, spreading a wing over her clutch
protectively. The eggs began to hatch, regardless, and in a flash, there
were three broken shells and two more already cracking. The first hatchling was
a large, brightly colored red who would likely rival a bronze in size, once
fully grown. His two siblings were a shy, navy blue female and medium-sized
purple the image of her mother. The two females were first, and the female
blue strode over to the candidates, while the purple sat where she was,
uninterested. Lezly! I'm yours now, and you are mine!
I'm your Chifoth! The blue exclaimed proudly. At the same time, the
purple spoke up, talking to her parents and the Senior Queen of her plans.
My name's
Eraneth. It's okay, I'll be fine on my own,
so I'll just go to CloudFire City, alright? With no objections, Eraneth was lead towards the
kitchens, followed by Lezly and her blue Chifoth. Next the red made his
decision, cocking his head to one side good-naturedly. M'name's
Marreyeth, and I'm going to
Cy
Dragonstake. He
said with a nod to his parents, and he, too, took off for the kitchens as the
two eggs which had cracked earlier broke open. A pale green tail emerged
from one end of the larger egg, and a light green female appeared, large for her
color and closer to the size of a Pernese blue than her hide color. Her
green-sized brother, on the other hand, was a deep, mahagony brown tone. They
both nodded to each other, and headed towards the female candidates. The
light green picked out Farnera from
the crowd, and placed her paws on her chosen's legs. My name's
Atheyth, Farnera. You look interesting, but
I'm hungry right now, so can you get me some food? The brown hung around Farnera and Atheyth, shuffling
slightly, until he spoke up. I dun wanna bond, but can I go with you, anyway? I'm
Juiuth. The last egg wriggled and rocked, and finally, an
over-sized pair of red wings emerged from the eggshell. With a little more
effort, a dark red dragonet climbed out of his shell, peering around the
Hatching Cavern. He crooned when he met Autyr's gaze,
and stumbled over to him. "Thueuith! You look hungry. Come on, let's eat." He laughed,
helping his dragon towards the kitchen. With the hatching officially over,
Avodoth crooned and stretched her limbs, glad to be off the sands at last. She'd
seen enough drama over the last few
weeks. |
