The next two to hatch were identical yellows, brilliant as the sun and mirror images of each other, they, of course, chose the two twins.
Two other eggs hatched then, one 'dragon' a two headed hydra instead of a real dragon, the other, a flame marked green. As they chose their bonds and walked off the sands, another egg was trying to hatch.
This one was broken open by a grey feline who impressed the brown hatchling he had saved.
A very energetic green hatched out of the next egg, barreling over to its bond and just as quickly heading into the kitchen.
The next egg shattered explosively, revealing a graceful silver dragon who bonded with another feline.
Another egg wobbled and hatched, spilling out a medium sized red. The red turned and hissed at the eggs, almost like he was warning them away from his bond, then turned and headed towards the candidates.
I can sense your turmoil and it hurts me. Maybe there is a way that both sides can work together? The red dragon peered up at the half-angel half-demon.
"I do not think so, Kazirel," said Shian, "But I suppose that we can work together."
The dragon nodded happily. Good. First, lets work together to find some food. I'm so very hungry.
"Sure thing," Shian answered as he smiled, showing his pointed fangs.
They walked off the sands together, Kazirel leading the way.
Entering the kitchen, Kazirel picked his way across then chose a place and sat down to eat, Shian crouching down near him.
A flickering smile passed over his face as he watched his new bondmate eating, some slight bits of emotion showing through his mostly emotionless eyes. Both sides for once in agreement on one thing, Kazirel was a marvel.
I'm glad you think that, Shian.
He smiles again, "But how could I not? You're perfect."
Kazirel looks up from his food, Of course I am!
Shian laughs softly and runs a hand along Kazirel's back, memorizing the feel of Kazirel's smooth hide.
