The hatching at Azon came quickly, and Duck was very very nervous. He was drinking coffee by the gallon and spilling it, so little Zam was getting much more than his fair share of caffeine. His nervousness and over caffinated jitters quickly wore away. The dragons hatching here were as spectacular as the ones from that Flurry Clutch. Duck wished the others could be there to see it.
From a small blue and green egg came a blue dragon with black wings, and horns. Later they'd discover that Dariack was a 'greenhorn' dragon.
A beautiful starry gold-black dragoness followed him, and chose Duck over all the others. Dazzelith was her name, and dazzling was definitely her name. Half Raylomic, half Dark, this one.
From a maroon and black egg came a stunning purple male - a true Firebite, so they said - maroon-white wings and stars, like Dazzleth. Kendrah was his choice, and she couldn't be happier! His name, Shantak
Later, when all the dragons were grown, they were gifted with earrings for their felinish ears, since they were the first dragons ever to hatch at Azon. Dariack didn't necessarily like his; he felt like a sissy, but Owen assured him that he was not, and that his speed and agility were much better qualities to admire anyhow. Why the goalie was chosen by such a speedy little guy, who knows? Perhaps it's because of the agility that goaltenders must have to prevent the puck from getting into the goal?
Perhaps it is because I was meant for you? Dariack purred into his riders mind.
Kendrah had found a happy medium - well, sortof. An alis gryph egg made it's way to her by special courier, and hatched into a stunning black male she named Ember. Much smarter than Duck's Zam, but she didn't rub it in... much.
Owen had yet to adopt a pet; his heart was set on a Danachian Gledog, but apparently they were incredibly hard to come by. In time he would get one, oh yes...
Time passed quickly for the trio of Dragons and their dragons at Azon, and soon enough they 'transferred' 'back' to Ryslen to be with their teammates - even after having been gone for quite some time, it was as thought they'd never left.
Over time, the dragons decided to be, well, dragons, and insisted on mating. How could their riders deny them? When word of the Rainbow Braethas Raug at Cathair Fionabhainn reached Kendrah, her Starry Shantak was set to leave that instant - as was Duck's Dazzleth. It didn't take long, and then they were off to Danach...
Kendrah's Shantak and Duck's Dazzelth are participating in the Rainbow Braethas Raug at Cathair Fionabhainn!
After a week or so, Kendrah returned to Ryslen, with a gift for Owen. The goalie was hard at work but she persisted in interrupting him anyway.
"Got you a little something." She said, holding out a wiggling bundle. Owen took it gingerly, and unwrapped it. A blue-gray colored muzzle peeked out, and with puppyish enthusiasm, wriggled further out so it could lick his face. It was longish, like a greyhound. Owen was pleased.
The pup scrambled out of the blanket, and revealed himself to be not a greyhound, but a Danachian Gledog - seeming to be part eagle, part dog.
"Wow..." Owen breathed. "How did you...?"
Kendrah almost blushed. "Duck and I charged the pack of sleeping Gledogs, and toppled them over. They sleep standing up, mostly. It was easy to get a pup for you then. What are you going to name him?"
Owen had had a song going through his head all morning, and had finally gotten it out when the Gledog's watery, smoky coloring brought it back full strength. "Smoke." he said, though the name seemed generic.
Kendrah laughed.
