Two firelizard eggs was at least one more than Terlara had expected to claim. And now they were on the very edge of hatching, set down next to her cot. One was a little bigger than the other. A brown and a blue or green? Maybe?
It was the smaller one that seemed in the most hurry to Hatch, though. The egg rocked, shivered, and then cracked right down the middle to reveal a wet, dark blue hatchling. Terlara grinned, starting to feed it with her other eye on the second egg. A blue! She loved blues...she wanted to be a bluerider, even if not many women did ride blue. It could still happen.
Then the second egg exploded, a shard landing on the blue's back. He squawked in surprise and Terlara's eyes widened at the greenish-metallic sheen. A bronze! A healthy little bronze, too. The hand not occupied with the blue offered him meat and he snapped at it. "You are both absolutely perfect," she told them, feeling the edge of their hunger in her mind and doing something about it as quickly as she could.
She had names in mind right away. The blue was very dark. "Dusk," she said, because he resembled the sky then. The bronze...he seemed to know exactly what he wanted. Nothing shy or scared about this one. "And...Bold."
