Subject: Nervous...

The female candidate enters, scared and nervous. Fidgeting and starting to panic, her eyes widened. Where were the eggs? Was she too late?
Looking around, to her releif, there were still three left. Three gorgeous eggs.
Which didn't help on her nervous system.
Hopping from foot to foot, a queazy feeling in her stomach, the green haired girl shook her head. Maybe I should go home...?
Silently, she chided herself for such a notion. Don't be such a baby! Don't pout, don't whine, be brace, be strong, and just wait to see what happns. I wouldn't be surprised if no dragon took yo, thanks to those childish and selfish ideas.
A slow smile crept accross her face, and she, despite her troubles, began to sift through old memories, having the need to calm herself.

The tomboyish girl looked around the corridor, then whispered to her older brother, Keal. " Where are they?"
They left, turning the corner to the outside. Turning back to her, he shook his head in authority. " Shush. You'l scare them away."
Nodding, the girl reminded herself that if she really wanted to see them, she'd have to learn to stay quiet.
The beach was not far from her home, and instatnly, in the pale moonlight, she could see the flash of green, gold, blue, bronze and brown.
Firelizards.
It was a hatching, and although they had no intent on taking some of the eggs, afraid of what thier parents would say, they did have a notion to watch the blessed event.
The gold, hovering protectively over her seventeen eggs, creeled as the first egg spilt open.
A small, bronze colored dragonette, eggshell still in it's wings, feel crying to the ground.
Bronze, Kashna remembered, in a dragonclutch, would mean good luck and a good turn out with the clutch.
Kashna couldn't help but wonder of there had been a bronze hatchling first, so that it too, could give her good luck.
Turning eagerly to the eggs, she sighed dreamily, hoping for a chance to recieve one of the precious eggs there.
All, to her, was silent. She had blocked out all sound from her mind, her thoughts concentrated on only the eggs.
And again, she couldn't help but wonder, if indeed a bronze had given her luck, would it be enough to recieve any egg?
