(excerpt from hatching, Clutch #3 FRW)

     There was lull in the hatching, as one egg and one candidate remained. Kacai watched the rocking egg expectantly and as it cracked and chipped bit by bit, she held her breath. Suddenly the egg just fell apart, revealing a beautiful ice dragonet, who looked about her in genuine confusion.

     Tears streaming down her face Kacai started forward, then stopped, for the ice wasnt looking at her. Instead the dragonet picked herself up and stood tall, looking about with a determined gaze, her shinning eyes identical to her fathers.

     I am Nylave, and until I find who I seek, I shall remain riderless!

    The Ice proclaimed to all, proving that the ice had a firm control over her remarkable telepathic abilities. Copper sighed, and watched as the ice moved off to join her gold and silver brothers and Rath near the entrance where the black adult dragon was making sure that the three riderless dragons were getting cared for properly. Then her eyes went back to Kacai, who was on her knees in the hot sands crying, oblivious to the searing heat or the murmurs flying through the assembled.

Somehow, Nylave has found her way to the otherworld flights and sands at Fire Ridge, and asked Coper, rather loudly, to sign her up for a flight. Naturally Copper was speechless, and security measures were taken at the Nursery to keep the young dragons in place, but Nylave did get her way.
