-The femme walked onto the Sands, green orbs shining brilliantly in the afternoon sun. The heat burned through the thin wher-hide sandals, practically radiating through the soles. She grimaced but kept walking, each step seemingly more bearable as she neared the eggs and the massive Queen. Staring in awe, she remembered her manners and bowed, the yard-long braid flipping over her shoulder. Flipping the brown tail-looking braid back into it's original place, she surveyed the eggs, Harper eyes veiwing each, trying to pick which color each would be once it had hatched. The youth gave a small amiable smile as she came to the queen egg. To think, Impress a queen? What an honor that would be to her family. Thinking back to when she had left on the green...Path? Wasn't it? She grinned and let her thoughts turn back to that day.-

=Her little brother and sister, twins, were the only to come and see her off. Orsaron and Ralkira, both to headed but green eyed. Her mother was at some odd Hold, weaving baskets for a coming Gather, and her father thought it a pure disgrace to have a dragonrider in the family. Still, her siblings simply adored the dragons, and her parents consented, letting the femme do as she liked with the rest of her life. At 16 Turns, she was able to decide for herself exactly what she wanted to do. The twins sat with her in the Courtyard, asking questions, with Delphi smiling and answer each in turn.=
"What are you gon do dere Delfwi?"
"Well, first I get to stand at a hatching. Where the dragon eggs are."
"You gon wide an egg?!"
"No, Ralkira. The eggs will hatch and dragons will come out and choose who they want to ride them"
=The twins answered in unison=
"Ohh. Ok!"
=Soon after, Path arrived, rider on her back, and the brown haired femme got up to leave. She felt a tug on the end of her braid and turned, seeing Orsaron standing there, braid in the 4 turn year old's hand=
"Can I come wif you?"
"No, but I'll visit"
"Awight den."
=She mounted behind the rider and disapeared Between=

-Delphi opened the iridescent green oculi to gaze once more upon the shells, which would soon hatch to reveal the magnificent dragonets. She kept her stare affixed to the largest egg...the queen egg, her hopes and anticipation both rising to its point.-
