K'tran's first reaction was surprise,then pure joy. He had impressed! But,no,it wasn't just the Impression,but Rhiroth himself. His dragon,companion for life,his bond! For a few moments,K'tran was dumbfounded,staring at the young Blue like some sort of dimglow. He had impressed! What seemed like a thousand different feelings washed through him...but above all,hunger! Mine,are you alright? Rhiroth is sooo hungry!,Rhiroth complained,prodding K'tran with his head. Then K'tran snapped out of it. Grinning from ear to ear,he led Rhiroth off the Hatching Grounds to where food was waiting. ------------------------------ And then,there was Tara. She walked calmly onto the Hatching Grounds as if she narely noticed her lateness,head held high as if she were above everyone on the sands. Picking her way delicately to the line of female Candidates,she bowed briefly to the Weyrwoman and Queen(after last time,she didn't dare be disrepectful to the Gold),and then turned her attention to the eggs,as calm as ever.
Tara was good at hiding her feelings. Inside,she was feeling as if she would burst with nervousness,excitement...and sadness. This reminded her so much of the four other times she'd stood...and failed to impress. It was too much for her,and she'd actually attempted to steal an egg last time. Tara almost visibly winced at the mere thought of that occasion. How could she have been so stupid! She wa slucky she wasn't dead...only the mercy of the Weyrwoman had saved her. Not that her firelizard had gotten out of it...her Blue was between now,and she was left without a friend in the world. Touching the scar on her neck-a result of the egg stealing incident-she began to think back to the fateful day. But then she quickly stopped herself,knowing that negative thoughts were not good at a Hatching. She of all people would know. But it was good to remember...maybe it would keep her from doing such a thing this time around.
Then her gaze fell on the small egg who's prisoner was struggling to escape. She had more kindness than anyone knew for creatures,especially the dragons. Tara felt true pity for the dragonet inside the egg. Did it need help? Almost without thinking,she took a step towards the egg,thinking to give it some aid,but then immediately changed her mind. She couldn't get herself wrapped up in that,she could get in trouble...again!

||Terramine! Help your trapped Ikonath!|| Screamed a vocie from the unhatching egg |Please! I am the egg wiggling but failing to hatch!||
An egg shattered, a new color ripping apart the shell. It was a purple hide that flashed, young female dragon stretching her wings. She was, at that very momment, the only of her kind. She folded her wings and moved quickly to Mellody, bumping into the leg of the girl and looking up. ||Mellodymine, Violith is here and as pretty as any silver or gold!||
((Color=purple))

Mellody looked at the purple and smiled hugging her. ~Oh Violith, I think you are much better than any gold or silver.~ she told her in her mind voice. ~Yes Mellodymine, I hunger now.~ Mellody stood up and led Violith to the feeding tables.

Tara almost screamed back when she heard the voice. Had she impressed? Where was the dragonet? And then she realized what was going on. "I'm coming Ikonath,hold on!",she yelled,and ran towards the small egg. All but pouncing on it,she tore at the egg ,trying to pry the shell off. It wasn't working,the shellw as too hard! Tara felt fear as she had never known. What if she failed to get Ikonath free! Standing,she started kicking at the egg,hoping to weaken the shell. Hitting and pulliung and scratching with all her might,praying to anyone that would listen that her dragon would be able to get out.

Finally, the little white dragon pushed through its shell and looked at Tara lovingly, glad that its mine had come to save it. ||Thank you Taramine! But I hunger now!||

(Is the White a he or a she? Or neither or both? I sort of didn't get what the dragon color info said) Tara stopped her struggle to free the White and watched as it emerged from the egg. She wa smore ahppy than she had ever been. Fifth times the charm...she had finally impressed! Nearly crying with happiness,she scratched Ikonath's eye ridges lovingly and then led the White to the feeding tables. She was in near disbelief that she'd just saved a dragon's life...she who often didn't care for anyne but herself! Would this signal a change in the egoistic Tara?

Jertan ran and ran. Having recently been droped off by the blue search dragon, he could tell he was late. The halls were quite, without the hustle and bustle of everyday activity, only the soft humming sound. Pulling on his white candidate robe he ran into the hatching sands. Hair dischevled, he bowed to the queen and her rider before taking his place in the male's semi-circle. He did not try to straighten him self up like other boys would, he knew his bonded would not care what he looked like.

(x-x; Look what I missed. Peh.)
M'raz grinned at the bronze dragonet. Reaching out he stroked its eyeridges affectionately. "Oh Inuth!" he muttered to the bronze. "Oh-" His mutterings were cut off by a rather persistant thought.
Is there food? Inuth is hungrey, Mine!
M'raz laughed, leading Inuth from the Hatching Ground to the tables.

Two more shells trembled and from them sprung browns. The first brown's hide was very pale, a wheat color, while the other had a more average brown shade for his hide.
The two hurried towards the male canidates, mines already picked. ||Matmine!!! Where are you?|| The paler one called, searching around. It bumped against the legs of Jertan and the other brown made a growling noise. ||You dare touch the legs of Memoroth's Jertan?!|| Cried the brown as it moved between the wheat brown and his Jertan. ||Jertanmine, please feed yours!||
The wheat brown moved away and cowered behind the legs of Mat. ||Please feed Jinoth far from his clutchmate.

Teesa's face lit up as she realised that she had Impressed. She approached the little blue and led it off to get it some food, followed by Tessa with her little green. Both were so happy, it was one of the best days in their life!

Matmine! Matmine! Mat looked around, then his grey gaze landed on the smaller, wheat-colored dragon making its way towards him. Feed Jinoth away from his hatchmate, Matmine. ~I will,~ Mat promised heartily, leaning down to scoop up the small brown. A brown! A brown! He was filled with exultation, because, at long last, he had Impressed, and he was a brownrider! Well, not a rider yet, but he was a weyrling, and soon enough he would be a brownrider, able to chase the Queen, and... Matmine, don't be making plans for Jinoth, already, the brown in Mat's arms said wryly. We have not even flown, yet. ~We will,~ Mat swore. ~We will, Jinoth, and we will fly higher than anyone else.~ The brown moved a bit, the burden of scales and wings becoming heavy in Mat's arms, so the weyrling set him down. With the dragon at his heels, he made his way towards the feeding tables, still half-giddy with joy. He was M'trim to the other riders, of course, but he was his Jinoth's Matmine. It was bliss.

A black-haired boy stepped onto the sands. the white robes were too big for his frame, so the billowed about him like the sails of a ship. the grey-eyes candidate looked over the eggs, and felt guilty, knowing so many had hatched. he didn't even understand...what the searchrider had seen in him. he wasn't much of anything, and he knew it. he was the weakling, the coward, the fool...what would a dragon see in him?
he stood near the eggs, bowing and feeling sheepish that he was late. he had hoped to watch the hatching. but he couldn't, because it was pretty much over. he had even forgotten his sketchbook.

Lent was late usual, Slumped form hardly fitted her white robes and scowl was on her features. Unlike the rest she didn't want to be here.She thought wistfully back to the hold she would have one day governed. But dreams had been shattered by the darned search rider who had snatched her off without a word. The burning sands were ignored and she continued forward, head lowered so she bumped into a few others though she did not bother to be humble and admit to being sorry. The eggs were ahead and so were the many hopeful candidates and the many newly impressed but she glared at those that had impressed and smirked at those who were still standing. None of them deseverd to impress and she didn't care if she didn't know any of them yet, She hated them all the moment she laid eyes upon them.
