Bonded At Morning Star Weyr
Then, agitated calls from the hatching sands brought the weyr alive. The candidates for these four big special eggs were brought down, even too late for the first to be bet upon! There was already a large bronze out of his shell!
He sat down, and watched. The other candidates filed in, and at last Miamar couldn't take it any more. There was an itching in his mind, somewhere along a wing ridge that he himself didn't really have.
"Were you going to just sit there and stare at us, Kiloth?"
Yup, the dragon chirped happily. He was obviously glad that Miamar had found the courage to come up to him. Good thing you came and got me, huh?
Nadeen grinned from ear to ear as her brother took the new hatchling off the sands.
But it took quite a long time for the other eggs to spill out their contents. Though there were only three more eggs, there were many candidates. Nadeen watched a brown and blue bond together, to other twins. Then, a black and white pair bonded to their own twin siblings.
The last egg broke open and there were not one but two beautiful golden hatchlings gleaming on the sands. They were small, not even really proper gold sized, but they were both just simply beautiful.
One of them looked at Nadeen, and crooned at the red-headed girl. I think that everyone is disappointed! I am only one dragon, and I choose you, but I think those others would really love to be bonded too...
"Oh, no Zixath, we're not disappointed, not in the least. Just shocked, that's all!" She was right, for no one could have expected there to be two golds! Perhaps a gold and a green, but... The other two girls left on the sands had to be chosen among, but even then, Nadeen hardly thought about it. This was a moment for her -- and Zix, and Miamar, and his lovely Kiloth!
