As surely as the ocean waves pound the shore came the hatching of
Bularith and Syrenth�s great clutch.
The humming began with a calm like that found before the devastation of a
tsunami, then grew gradually like water whispering over rocks to the
full-fledged roar of a waterfall. This wild natural sound brought the
candidates to the sands garbed in robes as white as the foamy crests of
waves, fourteen in all.
The first egg shivered, and shattered releasing a crystalline blue
hatchling, reminiscent of a clear day over the bay. He moved with
serenity, and strolled directly to Janakis. You must be J�nak, for I
am Degath. The blue said and the first impression was made.
A brilliant green and a full-bodied brown made their appearances. The
brown charged across the sands, skidding to a stop near a boy.
Eup�e! the brown roared. �Jhulsanth!� the new rider roared back. In
the midst of this, the green chose a girl from the fringes and they
slipped out without fanfare.
A dark bronze exploded from hi shell, flaring his wet wings and roaring
at the indignity. �Iryntesalth! Calm yourself!� Kitterick yelled across
the sands and the bronze�s eyes turned to him. K�teric. the bronze
said calmly joining his bond.
Bularith looked smug as the golden egg began to rock ferociously. It
still had splatters of green paint gracing the shell, vandalism from an
unfound blue firelizard. The tiny queen, unaware of the state of her
shell, burst forth, a rare and radiant beauty. Calmly she made her way
to the girls gathered together for her convenience. Without warning, she
viciously charged, and most of the girls scattered. Quelara flinched,
Anique took a step back, but Lela didn�t move. �Gimuth,� she said, �what
was that all about?� Testing them, Lela. Testing. the gold
responded.
The scattered girls repositioned themselves among the boys as a blue
hatched. He was large, healthy, and proud. He swaggered across the
sands. One boy heard something whisper quiet that sounded like �I rock?�
Ibilrok blinked. �I�rok.� He confirmed, touching the dragon. �and
Prakraith.�
A smaller egg hatched, revealing a refreshing apple-green dragonet. She
emerged from her shell gracefully and swept across the sands like a
seabreeze. Kyllina. she murmured. �Croabeth.� The girl returned.
The next dragon parted from his shell with a flash like lightning on the
water. Harper Sagion mused, and was soon amused to find the bright
bronze lounging at his feet. Sing about me, S�io. Write my praises so
the world might hear them. S�io laughed long and loud. �Vanity suits
you well, Beilyaoth.�
Another egg rocked sharply, splitting to reveal a dainty green. She
floated across the sands, bumping into one boy. He would have been happy
to impress her, but she kept moving. Janaki? she said, lost.
Where are you? Janaki blinked. �Here, Jinnith.� The girl said,
stepping towards the dragoness.
A large egg split decisively, and revealed a brilliant brown dragon. He
knocked against another egg, and it cracked, revealing a blue dragon.
The brown walked towards the candidates. The girls moved back -- all but
one. �Dadremeth.� She said, bolder than any other. Anique. the brown
said. The crowd gasped. Browns didn�t Impress females! In the midst of
this excitement, the blue made his choice and they triumphantly left the
sands.
Three eggs remained, and their inhabitants fought to get out. Two greens
broke free, followed by a brown. One of the greens pranced right over to
Larani. �Hello Kitteth!� she said with a laugh.
The other green stood her ground and glared until the brown chose Danein.
D�nein, why is she so mean? The boy was quick to reply. �Like
rider like dragon Rysendith. Look.�
The feisty green marched right up to the last girl. I am Feith, and
you are mine! Quelara grinned.
And so the eggs hatched. Bularith and her mate were happy - it was the
perfect ending to an incredibly long day.
