Aicha was as stunned and excited as most of the other Candidates when
word came around that they had to gather on the Hatching sands.
Nervous wasn't quite the right word for what she was feeling, though.
As she threw on her white robe and followed the other Candidates out
onto the hot Sands, Aicha was more than a little on edge with the
thrill of her first ever Hatching, and that meant she couldn't keep
her hands or feet still. She kept twitching the hem of her robe, or
fidgeting with her hair, or biting at her fingernails. No matter how
today turned out, she would never forget the feeling of just being
able to Stand.
As the eggs began to rock and crack, all attention was on the clutch,
and Aicha was just as entranced as everyone else there. She was
enrapt, completely enthralled.
When the hatchlings began to find their intended Riders, cheering
could be heard as each match was made. Aicha found herself with grin
had no end, though she was also looking at each of the hatched baby
dragons, with the hope that she would make a match for one of them. It
was even more exciting than watching the birth or first steps of a
newborn runner.
And then came the glorious moment when she heard a voice in her head,
pleading for Aicha to show herself. }:MINE! Your Luranth needs you!:{
Aicha turned toward the voice, stepping forward, then falling to her
knees, reaching toward the rather sizable green hatchling that called
herself Luranth. Aicha's eyes widened with elation as they made
contact with the whirling rainbow facets of Luranth's gaze, and the
only thought on Aicha's mind was the miracle that such a glorious
being would be sharing her life.
Luranth surged forward when Her girl reached for her, a whine of
combined happiness and hunger escaping. }:MY GIRL! You are MINE! Do
you have any food?:{
Aicha blinked away tears of joy as she knelt in front of the green
hatchling, holding her arms out to gather her in. "Luranth, my
beauty." It wouldn't have mattered in the least what color the
hatchling was, not after hearing that voice in her mind.
