Maku shivered as she stepped inside the Hatching Cavern, out of the biting wind. A blast of warmer air swept over her as she stepped onto the sands, and she was glad that the sands underfoot were heated for the benefit of the eggs.
She shuffled her feet nervously as she stood with the other candidates; as usual, there were more candidates than there were eggs, and several people would not be Impressing this time around. Maku hoped she would not be among them.
A hush fell over the crowd as the first egg cracked, revealing a bright blue dragon. He shook himself off, then went towards the boys, and picked out his bond.
Two eggs trembled, and from one, a green leg emerged, from the other, a green snout. Both greens hatched at almost the same moment, but the larger of the two sat down to clean herself off, the smaller bowled her over in her haste to get to her bond. As the smaller green bonded, the larger picked herself up daintily and shook herself off a second time. She studied the girls, then walked up to Maku.
That was uncalled for, wasn't it? Kokochith grumbled to her bond.
Maku smiled at the hatchling. "I think so, Kokochith, I'm pretty sure that we should stay away from them. I'm kinda glad they'll be in the boys' dorm..."
Kokochith agreed, then asked patiently for her food. Maku lead the hatchling away, still smiling.
