Mahiri was combing her short curls back with her fingers, tucking strands behind her ears and squinting as the remaining eggs began to hatch. A blue hatched and bugled quite loudly, boyishly tossing his head and muscling his way through candidates, until he stopped and Impressed a boy she did not know. Mahiri stuck her pinkies in her mouth and whistled sharply, loudly, doing anything to keep her thoughts from going back to that growing anxiety. She would not Impress, there were not enough. He bright green eyes scanned the Camdidates, some taller, stronger, better looking, brighter looking, more awake. She sighed and all but gave up, turning her eyes to the oddly colored egg putting on an acrobatic show.

Mahiri smiled as the egg continued its little dance, twirling and spinning on the sand until the hairline fractures running down the sides finally split to reveal legs sticking up into the air. The hatching was turned around and cracking out of her shell in no time, throwing up her dainty little muzzle and flaring her wings with a positive pride. The dainty, agile green shone with pride, her hide glittering in the sun, catching and throwing off that brilliant green color, with hints of something else. Mahiri caught her breath as she looked on at the beautiful little one. She had never seen such a green. She took her time deciding, and Mahiri watched as the young hatchling went back and forth, until her eyes locked onto....

Mahiri.

The young woman went slack jawed, crooked teeth showing slightly behind her lips as the young hatchling picked up her pace and came nose to nose with Mahiri. The little voice of the green was clear as the daylight around her. Nyraith. Mahiri started to grin, throwing her arms around the neck of the hatchling, stroking the green hide and laughing as she ran her hands over her eyeridges.

I'm hungry
Alright, the hatching feast will start soon, we'll get you food, and then get me food.
That sounds wonderful

Mahiri sighed, looking around. In the rush she had completely missed all but the tail end of the Queen Egg hatching, and stopped a moment to watch the last egg hatch. She had awaited this moment all day, seen every hatching. And now it was done. Mahiri grinned again, looping her arm about the neck of her dragon, and together they left the hatching sands.
