A second bronze and a dark blue climbed from their shells. The bronze was first to choose where to go. He snorted derisively at the candidates before turning to his parents. I'm certainly not going to share my mind with any old human. He said. My name is Helivath, I'm going to go to Draco's Inferno. The bronze left the sands with an arrogant swagger.
The dark blue seemed to roll his eyes at his sibling as he stepped forward. He crooned sadly when he saw there was no bond for him. My name's Celiodith. I guess I won't bond...I'll go to Dragonwillow Weyr.
The blue had scarcely turned to leave the sands when a large, gangly brown hatchling came running toward him. Wait, Wait for me! Celiodith, you weren't going to leave me, Thradith, behind, were you? The brown asked plaintively.
Celiodith blinked. I'm sorry, Thradith, I didn't see you!
The brown huffed. Aww, that's alright. Anyway, why don't we go get some food before we go to Dragonwillow? I'm starving!
