Lian was snoozing in the library when the hatching call
came, and it came in the form of a palm slamming down into the table beside his
head. The junior archivist jumped up in alarm, then wilted under his Master's
stern gaze. "You’re supposed to be in the Deep Caverns right now documenting
the draklings' choices." The Master Archivist growled. "Kimechash has announced
her eggs' hatching. Well, what are you waiting for? Get down there!" "Y-yes
sir!" Lian stuttered, gathering his books and pens together and practically
running towards the caverns to escape his Master's ire. He grumbled irately as
he took a seat by the door. The four aspirants were already waiting, the girl,
the two boys, and the strange blue furry dragon as well. He readied his pens
and his paper to record the pairings, just as the proud mother entered with her
four children. There was only one female, a dainty ore running eagerly ahead of
her mother, while her three brothers--a desert, a mud, and a night--trailed
behind. The outgoing ore was the first to move, and she walked to the young
girl, Lythia. "My name'ssss Leeyawsh!”"
The mud, meanwhile, was looking curiously up at the blue dragon,
K'lemia. "You'rrrre funny-looking. I like you. I'm
Shynnshaw." The desert drakling was having a great time
stalking around the caverns, until he bumped into Yzheie, and
grinned up at him toothily. "Ssssorrrry about that. My name's Neeshaw."
The male night was more withdrawn, unwilling to leave his mother's side at
first, until, with an encouraging nudge from Kimechash, he took a few tentative
steps toward Greg. "Grrreg? Errr, my name'ssss Vorshaw." He
purred contently as his new partner stroke his furry head. All the pairings
were duly recorded by Lian, and the young archivist set off back to the library,
complaining about having to do all the gruntwork. Overall, however, the hatching
was a success. | |
