The bronze dragon turned his head as the boy, Tarn, rushed forward onto the sands. The large proud dragonet's eyes turned a content blue color and he rushed forward to greet Tarn. ||T'rnmine! T'rnmine! Your Renth is here at last!||
The golden queen egg quiviered lightly, a spider web crack forming on its side. In mere seconds the egg shell was broken, the body of an elegantgolden dragon smashing through the shell, so ready to take her first breath of life and come to her mine's side.
The shell that stuck to her body slide off as she turned her head to the females, scanning each and every female with her content gaze. Yes, her mine was there. She raced forward, plowing down every female who dared to smile as if the queen were coming to her. No, she wouldn't be bribbed by the grins and smiles of those girls.
Finally, she was in front of a girl who had missed the touching. Neou. ||Neoumine! Neoumine! Your Elenath is here! Feed her before she straves and make all those ladies stop staring at her like she was theirs!||

((how do you pronounce his name shortened like that? every word or name has to have a vowel...I'm just gonna leave it...it's one syllable.shortening it wouldn't change much))
Tarn looked at the bronze-his bronze, his Renth- skeptically. "what do you mean, you're here at last? I'm the one who was late." He said with a grudging smile. he was the stubborn sort, who wasn't going to let anyone think he was ease and cheer. nope. not him. he hoped, though he would not admit it, that Renth would understand.
OK...well, I'm hungry, anyway!
"Ok. that, I can deal with. let's get you something to eat, Renth!" he said with a thingyy grin as he led his dragonet aside.

Rei's heart had risen when the gold had hatched. she had not smiled, but she had been filled with awe at that moment. she was beautiful. and just as easily as it had risen, it had fallen when she had seen the gold's choice. she then smiled, weakly, half-heatedly, only for the sake of the new goldrider. she clapped in the same manner. she felt glad for the harper girl...but as before, still jealous. no more and no less than with the others. just jealous.
Rei was now having a harder time staying calm. while her mind stell held images of peace, they were fleeting and moving too quickly to truly decipher. so instead her mind felt-wasn't, but felt- blank. the beggining of a headache, most likely caused by the tightness of the muscles on the back of her neck, was forming. all she could do was watch. she felt like she was going to cry. not from sorrow...but she was tired. her feet were hot and sore. everyone was talking and clapping and her head hurt-it was all a little much for her. it happened often, at gathers and such, that the crowds and noise would be too much for her, and she would start to cry, like a child. she hated that about herself. she usually fled social gatherings because of that.
She tried to truly blank her mind: no images of peace, no worries, not thoughts at all. she didn't move. she stilled both body and mind, and focused. thoughts fluttered around like butterflies, but she didn't chase them. She knew better. this was to clear her mind, so she couldn't worry about what she was thinking. She was a pot, and the space inside was being cleaned for a little whil. everying would be put back, but...she needed the blankness. she needed the space.

Tessa stood watching, a tear rolling down her cheek as she saw her sister Impress. She didn't think she would, they always wanted strong-willed girls like her sister, though Kandorlin was very bossy. Tessa sighed, watching the other candidates Impress dragons, staring at all the eggs, intigued by the silver queen, but knowing she would never get it. Her sister had always been better and things then her- running, swimming, and always made more friends. Tessa was friendly, its was just that she was, quieter then her boisutous sister, thats all. Tessa took out her sketchpad, determined to sketch the eggs even if she didnt Impress. She sat down on the hot sands, sketching away madly with a bit of lead, smiling with the finished product. "There" she said, to no-one in particular "It's finished." Tessa had drawn all of the eggs, most detail on the shining silver queen though as that was the egg that caught the soon and her eyes most. The picture was fascinating. Tessa was great at art, though her parents thought of it as a worthless skill, and punished her is they caught her doing it. Tessa sighed, getting up, standing with the other female candidates, though she would be suprised if she Impressed. She stood wtih her head tall, but eyes full of nervous excitement, drawn to all of the magical eggs.

Siera looked down at Chikath and smiled. "I'm not worried anymore." she said. "Let's get you some food. I bet you're hungry." she said leading him towards some food.

Taylun smiled, scratching Anuth's eye ridge, ||Come, we will go get some food...||
||Yes Taylunmine!|| They headed off for the feeding table.

"Elenath?" Neou's voice was incredilous, as if she could not believe her luck. "Of course I will feed you. And they cannot help but stare. You are beautiful. Are you truly mine?" Of course I am Neoumine. It is foolish. Would I choose any of those who stare so openly? They are silly. They all think I am beautiful, but they don't know. The golden Queen's tone was imperious, as all who were of the hue tended to be. Grinning broadly, Neou moved as if in a trance, almost gliding forward. She could not believe her luck, could not believe her incredible good fortune. Neou had not even had a chance to touch one of those pristine shells, had not even been at the Weyr a full day. "Well," and she gave a slight laugh, "At least I do not have to move into the Candidate Barracks. But I am not sure I know my way about the Weyr." Elenath, having spotted the feeding tables, suddenly dashed forward, all joy. The Queen almost started gorging before Neou herself made it, but the girl stopped her over-eager dragon just in time. "Wait for me love. Come now. A piece at a time."

Mat hurried down the corridors as quickly as his long legs would take him. He had been caught in the bathing pool when the Hatching began, leaving him only enough time to pull on his long white robes – too short for him, though – and sandals only suitable for wandering around the weyr in. They were most certainly not made to withstand the heat of the Hatching Grounds, but if he was going to Impress a dragon today, then he had better be on time. He was going to be late, anyways, since he'd been caught with cleaning-stuff in his black hair, but he’d have to do. If a young dragon was forced to go between through the fault of Mat… The young Candidate shuddered, and ran on, attempting to flatten his black hair in vain. He ran onto the Grounds, blanching as he saw Candidates - no, weyrlings! - leaving with newly-Impressed dragonets, and bowed deeply - if as quickly as possible - to the golden Queen and the Weyrwoman before joining the half-circle that had formed before the clutch of dragon-eggs. His breath caught as his sea-grey eyes fell on the shrinking clutch of mottled eggs – some of the dragons had already hatching from their shells [and[/i] Impressed! Here was his future, perhaps, caught up in the delicate threads of Impression and fate. He shook his head disgustedly; he sounded like a philosopher, nattering away on the purpose of humankind. That was not his duty – it was to become a rder. He had been Searched, after all, and found worthy. Certainly he could do this. It was just taking him a bit longer than most.
((Sorry sorry sorry I'm late! -dies-))

A taller boy was on Matrim's heels as he too ran to the Hatching Grounds. How could he be late?! His feet pounded frantically on the ground, the thick weyrhide boots not sheilding his feet from the sting. Miraz scrabbled at this mat of white blond hair attempting to straighten the unruly curls.
What had he been thinking about before he had fallen asleep earlier? Oh yeah, how Impression might feel (He was hoping he wouldn't be left on the sands again.), and was wondering what type of dragon he might Impress. And he had fallen asleep and almost missed the Hatching. Shells, he was smart.
Nodding to the Weyrlings as he passed he bobbed a bow to the Queen dragonet and her new rider. He stumbled onto the hot sands, almost falling. Then pushed into the group of male Candidates. His light brown eyes flicking nervously to the queen.

The Hatching...the Hatching! He was going to be late! Frantically another Candidate rushed onto the Sands,hastily adjusting his candidate robes as he went. Ketran could hardly believe that he'd spent so much time getting onto the sands,this was only the most important day of his life! He felt immensely stupid,because he had forgotten that he had to wear the white Candidates Robes and,when he was halfway to the Hatching grounds,had needed to go back to get them,thus missing the beggining of the Hatching! Running as fast as he dared to the clutch,he nearly trippeed himself a few times. Worse yet,he was shocked at the heat of the sands,even though he'd felt it before at the egg touching. Eventually he made it to where the Queen and her clutch lay,and bowed quickly before joining the semicircle of male Candidates.
Once there,Ketran began to calm down a bit,wrapped up in the excitement of the Hatching. He was actually here! Glanicning around,he saw the already hatched dragonets,and was surprised he didn't faint with amazement. So,they weren't quite as regal as the adults,but they were still quite impressive. Especially the Queen! He wished that he could've seen her hatch...but there was still the silver. Not like that was of too much concern to Ketran,who was just as much interested in the Bronzes. Looking at the clutch, he saw a few large ones that he thought must be Bronze eggs. Of course,Ketran certainly wouldn't mind any other color...as long as it was a dragon! Actually,it was not only the largest eggs but also the smallest one that drew his attention. The small egg seemed to be a bit away from the others(excuse me if I'm Godmoding here),and was a strange gray color. Ketran wondered if maybe it was a white. So rare! He hadn't heard of many Whites,they must be very special.
But what if he didn't impress at all? On one hand,it would be quite the tradgedy for him...but on the other hand,he'd still have Mosaic,his flitt,and the Hatching was a great experience no matter what. Ketran decided to just enjoy himself,and let fate-and the dragons-decide the outcome.

This way, yes, it was this way, she was SURE of it this time! The girl poked her head into the opening of the Hatching Caverns, peering around to inspect the area about her. Yes, yes, this was it! This was where that clutch was that everyone had spoken of! Beaming with arrogant success, the girl strode confidently into the 'Grounds, bowing her head but not her body to the Weyrwoman. Bowing one's body was what a drudge did, to her mind, and she was certainly no drudge. A lady would curtsy, but she was not that, either. She was herself, an entirely new type of being. There were no rules as to how the Ynahis in the world had to style themselves to live. That was the glory of it: they couldn't make rules for the Ynahis, because then the Vadrinoses and the Tynokis, and all of the others of the world would want their other factions of the rules, too. Fate had deemed making such small sects of laws too much trouble for their worth, and so the rare individuals like herself were free to do as they liked... or so she thought. After all, she reasoned, it wasn't as though the Weyrwoman could berate her for not bowing... bowing was a sign of deep respect, which is something one can earn, not receive. “Fair day, Lady,” she said politely, smiling her most charming, “I'm a dear little holder girl so pleased to be here” smile. Her high cheekbones made her smile seem even more endearing, or so her mother enjoyed telling her (and you know how mothers love to dance about the truth at times, so whether it does or not is fair game). The firelizard chittered from atop her shoulder, twisting her head to get a better look at Ikynath, for she had never seen a dragon before as she was out hunting when the searchrider declared the girl worthy of candidacy. The small being was fascinated by the gold, and continued to chitter at her indecipherably.

Thank you Shena! ^_^
--------------------
Another egg spilit apart, sapphire blue hide of a blue dragon glowing brightly in the strings of sunlight that mangaed to creep across the sands. His eyes were already blue, mine chosen minutes before, and wings folded neatly on his blue body. K'tranmine! Your Rhiroth hatches! (font color=blue)
In mere seconds 3 mores eggs had shattered. From one came a beautiful bronze, hide a perfert bronze shade and wings spread out to show off his great power. He slowly edged towards the male canidates, eyes scanning them. Then, he dartted towards his mine. M'razmine! Your Inuth has come! ((color=bronze))
From the second egg came another blue, hide bright and a sky blue color. He showed off his beauty, proud of his color and wings. Then, he moved over to Tessa. Tessamine, might you feed your Skiroth? ((color=skyblue))
The final of the three was green, hide a lime color. She tore from her shell and rushed to Ynahi, looking to the girl proudly. Your Limith awaits food. ((color=lime))
A tiny egg was shaking, but failing to hatch. Its shell trembling and struggling cries leaking through the shell. The little dragon inside twisted and turned, trying despratly to free itself from the shell...
The silver egg shook, shell crumbling under the might of the queen inside. Yes, she was ready. Ready to begin life. Her head poked out of the shell, wings spreading out and tossing the rest of her cage in every direction. She turned her head, eyes searching amoung the females for hers. There you are, Reimine! Finally! Your Kertinath is born and hungering![/i]

The blankness shattered like glass. She looked at the silver, who was gazing at her with loving eyes whirling a blue/yellow combination. hungry, yet glad equally. "me?" She mouthed, her eyes wide with shock. the silver had picked her? Kertinath looked at her cynicly. {Do you honestly doubt, Reimine?now...on to food.} as the two went towards the food bowls, Rei smiled to herself. boo-yah! take that, fate! Rei did a little dance with her arms as they walked {mine? is it really nessicary for you-} "yes. yes it is." Rei quickly fed the silver, and the two left.((I'm awful at departures))

A girl hurredly runs onto the sands. Her face was flushed from running. "Oh no. I've already missed it." she said to herself. She bowed her head to the weyrwoman and queen and took her place amoung the rest of the female canadates. Her name was Mellody.
