There were less left now. Grenith looked sadly at her dwindling pile of eggs. But they did have to leave her. Three sons and two daughters had taken their leave, and now one more had to go. But which one? There were only five eggs left now, and as she bent her elegant head to nudge one, it began to move.

She instantly rolled it away from the others, but she needn’t have bothered. It hatched as soon as it began to crack, bits of shell exploding away, and the entire group of people watching were invited to wince as a piece of egg hit the dragonling squarely on the head.

The brown hatchling was still for a moment, looking around with awed, wide eyes. His eyes were, in fact, were visibly unfocused, and he made quite a comical sight as he blinked dazedly and tended his muscles, trying to see right. But he recovered himself quickly, hauling his chocolate-brown body to its feet, though he continued to look around as though dazed. Or amazed.

He was not a big brown – of the hatchlings so far, one could say he was large-sized, although he was small to middling by other comparisons. As he stood, his body swaying slightly, his paws began to steady themselves, and he pulled himself up valiantly to his full height, spreading his paler-brown wings with surprising grace and trying to look impressive.

{M’att!} He called, trying to focus his eyes. {It’s all so pretty…so many colours…but why are there two of you? And my name…my name is…Ashertith! Are there two of me as well?}
