The first of Zaranyth's eggs hatched, and Evelia gasped along with everyone else to see the pretty little purple-cream dragon bond. Three more eggs followed, hatching into a blue, a green, and a silver. The silver chose her bond first, and the green and blue followed suit.
The next egg, a rather large one, hatched to reveal twin coppers. Evelia watched wistfully as the copper brothers Impressed.
Another large egg shook, and a pair of pale green wings appeared. Evelia was about to dismiss the hatchling as another green, until the egg split open, revealing the hatchling's body to be bronze. She watched in interest as the bronze-green male looked over the male candidates, scoffed, and approached the girls. Evelia watched the odd bronze curiously. What was the little dragon doing?
Looking for you! Evelia!
Evelia stared down at the green-winged bronze. "Zein?"
That's me. Do you want to be my bond, so we don't have to be alone ever again?
Evelia couldn't speak for a moment. "Yes." Was all she managed to say. She needn't have bothered. He knew what she would say already.
