It came as something of a surprise, then, when she'd stumbled upon a gold fire lizard's nest. She quickly ran and grabbed one of the largest eggs, hardly thinking about what she was doing. Maly was growing quickly, already several times larger than she was as a hatchling. Nevertheless, Seda was sure she'd have enough time to care for a flit. Her only worry was whether her demanding green dragon would allow her to have another companion.
Seda smiled, thinking fondly of her small green. Demanding as the little green dragon was, Seda wouldn't trade her for anything. She glanced down at the egg in her hands, as it started to rock quicker.
Malyjednoeth looked up as Seda entered their weyr, grabbing a bowl of meatrolls as she prepared for the new flit hatchling. What's that? Maly said, rainbow eyes swirling jealously. The green weyrling stretched sleepily, gazing at her bond.
"A fire lizard egg." Seda answered.
I thought you said flits were nothing but trouble? Maly said indignantly.
"Oh, hush." Seda said. They both watched as a golden muzzle poked through the top of the egg, and a large golden fire lizard fell into her arms. Seda grabbed a meatroll and began breaking it into smaller peices, which the gold eagerly gobbled up. The little gold flit yawned, and flexed her wings before settling down to sleep.
Maly stared warily at the hatchling flit. It's not even a full gold! It's wings are purple.
Sure enough, the golden flit had bright purple wing membranes. Seda laughed, glancing at her dragon. "From what I can tell, gold-purples are supposed to be even better than golds. After all, the senior queen is a Gold-purple." Seda reminded her jealous green.
Hmph. Seda, I'm hungry. Forget about the weird fire lizard, and help your poor, starving dragon!
Seda laughed. "You're hardly starving, Maly!" She said as she stood up, placing the gold-purple flit gently beside her. "Let's go, then." She followed her insistent green to the feeding grounds.
