The crimnson eyed, blonde haired girl entered, hot-footing it out onto the Sands, and seeing, in mild surprise, that the hatching had already started. shook her head, a goofy grin plastered on her face.

The girl was of tall stature, with muscled arms and legs- the results of scaling many a cliffs, along with her younger twin sister.

She smiled. She hoped Sacriaye would be alright on her own. After all, the twins were always meant to seperate on thier own paths oneday- but not so unexpectedly.

Sundrae smiled, watching the eggs with fascination, eyes widening at the gold. A gold! The girl couldn't beleive her eyes. She had only seen a gold egg once in her life- herself being Weyrbred- and it continued to fascinate her.

She remembered, once when just a little girl, a gold firelizard. She had found it, wounded and alone on the cliffs, and she and her sister took the dear thing in for awhile.

It was wild, and the girls had hoped to tame her, but alas, it was not to be.

Fate, it seems, stole the sickly lizard away from the two children and left them heart-broken, but this made the golden-haired one even more ambitioned to oneday helpsomeone, help something. Be of use to a person.

She looked to the eggs, hoping with all her might that her destiny be in them. "If not," she added, "I can always try and be a healer. After all, healer's help many. And healing isn't such a bad pass-time."

Sundrae sighed, hopping from one foot to another, eyes widened at the heat of the sands. Why was it so sharding hot here? Sure, warmth was nice, she rather liked it, but this, this hurt almost!

Still bouncing from foot to foot, the girl shook her head, and for the third time upon entering, her gaze fell on the eggs.

She watched as the queen dragon curled protectively around the golden orb, and she smiled. A mother's instincts were often the best ones.

Her mind wandered into thought, and the girl, slipping into daydream, dreampt of the day that she could do something that would leave a mark on Pern, a wonderful, unforgotten mark.
