The dragons hum had started in the late evening and the Weyr had gathered quickly. The eggs indeed where taking there own sweet time to hatch. It was now sunset, almost an hour from the time of when the hum started. Most people where starting to want the last meal of the day. As the last rays of sunlight touched the eggs the first egg hatched. It was a small brown. He plopped headfirst in to the sand. Then following suit 2 other eggs hatched. A bronze & green.

The bronze and green quickly headed toward the candidates. But it seemed the little brown was some what disoriented after his fall but soon saw his brother heading toward the boys and started crying out in dismay thinking his brother would talk his chosen one. Rushing as fast as he could toward the candidates the brown took another nosedive in to the sand. Many candidates rushed to help him while others found them selves being judged by the bronze. The bronze just sat there looking all confused, as if he didn’t know what boy was his. The elder boys took a step forward.

“Hispith are you just going to sit there?” Whusper asked the bronze, first impression had occurred and the two soon left the sands to eat. While this had happened the brown had found his chosen one with in the boys that had helped him. To say the least Cynonix had been caught off guard by his new brown Ishioth.

Now the green was being a little more choosy then her brothers. She had looked all though the female candidates and not a one had been the one she wanted. By this time two more eggs had hatched and the two blues had already made there way to the male candidates. The larger blue had quickly pounced on Kudron. And the other blue was trying to make the chose between the two candidates from Black Night Weyr. The green was crying by now but soon stopped when Kuaith nudged her daughter toward the male candidates. She soon had tackled Jmenkal leaving the blue no choice but Pater.

After this happened many eggs shattered at once revealing two more bronzes, another blue, two greens and a brown. The first bronze seemed quite sure in who the wanted and marched up to Halaze telling him he wants to be feed. The greens had soon gotten in to a fight in whom got Tsukiya but was soon settled when she told one of them to stop fighting by name. The other green had ended up backing up in to Mikela and the two ended up impressing. The blue Ciwyth soon found the young harper, Lartic.

The bronze had searched the boys but the young bronze seemed not to find the one he wanted. Then ran off the hatching sands trying to find the young man who’d be caught on the hatching grounds only a day before. It was a shock to all that the Trader, Sokosar raced to the bronze reassuring his Istath that he want him. The brown had taken off toward the girls and soon was siting in front of Meag wanting to know if she wanted him or if she’d rather wait for the queen. Meag soon hugged the little brown telling him she’d rather had him then any snooty gold.

Two of the smaller eggs rolled into each other to reveal a white & a small little Rainbow colored dragon? The two had entangled one another and cried for help. Leyken & Tenjaray came to the two’s rescue. Tenjaray kept telling her little rainbow ‘Liuath’ that she was the best dragon on pern. While Leyken kept repeating his whites name until ‘Releith’ told his rider he knew his name and he was hungry.

Every one was still quite she shock when the queen hatched. But the little queen a small replica of her mother was quite annoyed with the fact no one was paying attention to her. And started complaining that she was just as good no better then the white and rainbow. Now only on of the candidates heard this and soon Kadessa was reassuring her little queen Qianith she was loved and was just as good as her clutch mates.

Only 5 eggs remained and there where six candidates, as three of the last eggs hatched they reviled another egg burred in the sand. This was a shock to every one even the Weyrwoman had not known of this egg. All three hatchlings scurried toward the remaining females. The blue was the first there and first to impress. He’d caught Shianna quite of guard but she soon through her arms around the little blue. The smaller green knocked Hullina out of the way to get to Reilani. Though unhurt Hullina soon had the larger green worrying over her. She soon realized the green had chosen her.

The last three eggs started to shudder then the largest of all hatched. A large proud looking bronze stepped from the remnants of the egg. Then started poking at each of the candidates. When he poked Kararin, the youth snapped at him, “ Ith I’m not a sack of grain!” Kararin shocked both the bronze and him self. After Ith and Kararin had left the sands the left only Rictar and Cavorkian. Both wondered what colors where left in the two remaining eggs. The eggs then rolled in to each other revealing both hatchlings where two quite large browns. The browns quickly got to their feet and rushed toward their life mate. Once they’d left the sands the people started to clear the sands, heading for the lower caverns. Not just the hatchlings where hungry during this hatching it seems.
