Subject: *At last, the much-awaited movement of the queen egg!*

*Kylith, seeing the gleaming golden egg stir between her forearms, croons reluctantly and rises, revealing the oddly large egg behind her. As she steps back to allow the few Candidates left to approach the queen egg, she noses the other egg forward, to within a meter of its sister-egg. Then, all focus settles on the furiously moving golden egg.*

*Healthy and large, the egg seems determined to keep the golden treasure inside for a while longer, for no cracks trace the glimmering shell. However, the dragonet within has other plans, and a finely sculpted muzzle is thrust through the shell. The jaws open a little and emit a creel, as musical as any note strummed on a Harper's instrument. Then, a tail shatters the rest of the shell, sending shards scattering into the sand. Before everyone's eyes stands a proud golden hatchling, her stance regal and her eyes whirling rapidly. Kylith croons to her daughter, pride in the brassy voice, and the little queen replies in a sweet creel. Hunger and intent bring her faceted gaze back to the Sands, and she immediately spots the two girls left. Careful not to stumble, the little gold steps towards them, her wings upraised to help dry. Hide wet, as all dragonets' hides, and shards of her golden shell clinging to her, nonetheless this hatchling's beauty is a mirror image of her mother's, and she promises to be a large queen indeed. She halts, a few meters from the two girls, gazing on each of them. Kylith's short, brassy trumpet seems to encourage her daughter to choose one, and the shining gold dragon heads for Kalya. Reaching her, she nudges the girl's shoulder, at eye level with her chosen human. My name is Layath, Kalya. You Impress me. A sudden rumble from the queen's stomach reminds her, and her eyes whirl redly. And I'm starving! She croons, already immensely attached to this girl in white.*
