There were Hatchlings...not everywhere. Each color caught her eye, whether bronze, brown, blue or green, they all had their strengths and would be beneficial for the Weyr. She honored that fact by exa

The Endless Sky Egg was near Truenoth’s tail. It started to rock hard from the moment of first movement, rocking back and forth until it crashed into the bronze’s tail and smashed open. The bronze fel

At the breakfast as Rennitz ate, she made sure to spoil her two firelizards with their favored foods and gave them more whenever they asked whie she herself ate. The girl watched with tender and also

Mendl itched to go to the other Hatching Cavern, but Foreth had insisted she be up here. On the one hand, she was chuffed that Foreth thought she was worthy of one of her golden daughters. On the othe

Warning: abuse If Garatt was being honest, it was maybe the best time he’d had in sevendays. The Barracks was quiet, everyone else had gone to the Hatching. There was only him -- oh, and Asheran’s fir

Normally there was a big feast after Hatching. The people who had watched needed to be fed and loved ones wanted one last chance to see the new Weyrlings. Not this time. After everything that had happ

OOC: Night of explosion Of the Candidates brought back to the Weyr after the Caverns, only Kassia’s family was among them. Kashara was left feeling alone even among her family. She wanted to talk to K

Asheran had made it onto the Sands. He had pushed his way to the center of the group as best he could, keeping his head down, throwing conspiratorially glances toward Lerian, Ronhim and Luicion, who h

After M’gal left, Kassia was left with her own thoughts again. She kept replaying the images that the dragons had shared with her in her head. Somehow the whole thing felt surreal because she couldn’t

Near Truenoth, the Stoic Pebble egg had been sitting unassuming and likely overlooked as first one crack appeared in its surface and then another. More and more cracks rippled through the hardened egg

Despite the horrendous start to the whole affair, the Healers bustling the mangled body of the Candidate away behind the covered screen of their own bodies and ushering the other Candidate who had got

Getting Basilith to the wallows after feeding time had been an ordeal. The willful blue had wanted nothing more than to plop down asleep where he was after eating and Rennitz had to work hard to convi

(( Keep away! )) Dardueth shrieked at her brother, throwing herself down to the sand even as he lunged towards her. (( The creature is mine! )) With a guttural hiss of noise, the green flailed and as

The keening cry of steel parting the air disturbed the silence of the early morning with a conclusive crack of impact against the abused surface of a pockmarked training dummy, scattering birds with s

Watching and not moving was maybe the most difficult thing Cremsden could ever do. Healers got trained for this, Healers practiced this, Healers reminded each other of this before every sharding Hatch

The hum from Foreth went up and then caught through the Weyr as night fell around them. The time was weird, but more than that it was inconvenient. Kassia had been battling headaches and the pain in h

The sounds of the humming jolted Kashara out of her sleep. She wasn’t the only one scrambling to get into her robes as chaos went up all around her. The eggs were early and Hatching at night. No one h

Kashara couldn't believe it. Her sister's arm had been broken. Again. She stepped forward as it to help, but then she heard a voice in her head. The sweetest sound she'd ever heard in her head. But wh

Zosime had been standing in the middle of a fairly decent sized clump of candidates, peering into the dim sands to see what, if anything, was happening. Of course these babies just had to decide to ha

IC Date Reference: Set in the hours during the Hatching and early hours of the following day. Whilst the Hatching continued, there was a bustle of activity in the Infirmary. Almost immediately, it had
