The next thing they knew, they were being herded into the hatching grounds. They glanced at each other then walked into place as the first egg hatched, placing a fairly large crimson red dragon out on the sands. That dragon strode right towards the male candidates and chose the feline scout, Morrir. They had had some contact with him, he was an interesting sort, and both had traded a bit of information.
The next two eggs caught his eye, as well as his brothers, from the alertness that he felt radiating from him.
Nunvael watched with interest as the two eggs shattered into pieces, hatching at the same time, as the two dragons stepped out at the same time. Identical yellow males, they stepped in time with each other and walked up to Nunvael and his brother.
My name is.... they both started. Then as one they looked at eachother and hissed softly.
I get to go first! I hatched first! said one.
No you didn't! I hatched first! I will go bond now! said the other.
The two dragons shoved at eachother as they turned back towards the twins. My name is Ruron. Nutik! I choose you!
The second yellow glared at the first then stepped up to Nunvael. Well my brother may have been first but I got to you and you are my bond and much better than that other one! By the way, my name is Riren!
Ruron glared at Riren. No! Mine is much better!
Nunvael grins, this was definately turning out interesting. He and his brother, and their two identical dragons Ruron and Riren, walked off the sands towards the kitchen, the two dragons still arguing.
Nutik laughs, "And people thought we were bad enough before, look at us now!" He gestures, taking in his and Nunvael's similarities, which are many, the two young dragon's similarities, and the two regal escape artist cats, who are perched up on a counter, cleaning their paws and whiskers.
Who are those two? Riren asks.
"Those are our cats, the one on the right is Cairin, who claims me as his, the other one is Kairen, who claims Nutik as his," Nunvael replies.
I don't want to share you with anyone! Not even a cat! Ruron grumbles to Nutik.
Nunvael watches Nutik bend down and start feeding Ruron and follows suit.
"They're useful in their own way, Ruron, trust me."
I will be more useful though! Ruron exclaims.
Nunvael grins as he feels Riren start sifting through his memories and continues to feed him.
I'll be faster than you, Ruron!
No! I'll be fastest!
Not with all that food you're stuffing in your stomach! You'll grown fat and lazy!
You're stuffing just as much down your throat! If I grow fat and lazy, then you will too!
Nunvael looks over at Nutik, grinning, and remarks, "I wonder if anyone in this place will be able to stand us now?"
Nutik grins back, and replies, "Only one way to find out, time."
