Tauryn stepped onto the Sands, fully expecting everyone's eyes to be on her and her leg. But to her surprise, they couldn't have cared less. In fact, there were other candidates there, quite a lot more different than she was... two were semi-feline, one was blue and two were half-elf sisters. She knew what it was like to have people stare, so she kept her eyes averted. And then, the Hatching began. The first to hatch was a gorgeous blue. Tauryn had never seen such a beautiful, delicate creature hatch, so graceful, and so full of power. She gaped, and watched as the blue chose a boy. She suddenly heard words in her head, chiming like bells, melodic and beautiful.

"...and show you all the beauty you'd possess if you'd only let yourself believe..." [Sarah McLachlan- "Adia"] wove throughTauryn's mind, but her eyes were diverted from the eggs, so she didn't see that the next egg to crack open revealed a stunning light green. She stepped away from her shell, and cocked her dainty head as if listening.

Believe, Tauryn. Believe. the light green said as she wrapped herself around the slightly crippled girl.

"Lovanith?" Tauryn blinked in disbelief. The dragoness smiled at her bond.
