Two medium-hued dragons climbed from their neighboring shells, a blue and a green. The smaller green dragon giggled before throwing sand at her brother. The blue plopped down in the sand with a snort, pawing at his face with his paws. He growled at his sister, who squeeked and ran away towards one of the candidates-another male.
Ceroh found himself standing between two arguing dragons, and even as he watched, the green poked her head out from behind his legs and blew a raspberry at her brother. No fair! I don't have a bond to help me out, how come you get to use yours? That's cheating, it's two against one!
The green only laughed and nudged Ceroh, before leading her rider away from her brother before he could retaliate.
The blue huffed and kicked at the sand with his feet morosely. He looked over to his dam, who was pressing him for information. Oh, my name is Rynenth. I guess I'll go to Nidus Otykaii. I sure wish I had a bond, though... Rynenth strolled off sadly to the kitchens, but he soon got into a food fight with his sister Vaodeth, and his bad mood was forgotten.
