Only an owl made noise in the middle of the night besides the dark dragon. Otherwise, the night was like a heavy blanket, muffling any noise.
Only she was awake. It was time for her eggs to be deposited on the Sands. The Glitter hadn't bothered waking her rider; as Weyrwoman, Kila needed to sleep off her stress. The queen, egg-heavy, paced around the rim of the Grounds. Already three eggs had been laid.
The largest was a dark gray, rippling with black fire. Both delicate and pretty, it seemed marbelized with silver and dappled in a red-maroon. The second largest was swirled in a light brown and a dark orange, speckled with lighter shades of peach, while the smallest was a bright, light blue with a very slightly misted surface.
Kila had been asleep, but now slight tendrils of pain were sent to her by her dragon. Alert at the thought of Cralinth being hurt, she jumped from the light sleeping furs. But no sign of her queen was in the Weyr. Crlainth.... Her thought was panicked. Are you alright?
The Black Glitter was caught. Come. She finally said. The Weyrwoman was sent an imgae of the Hatching grounds, and quickly changed into more suitable clothes. When she finally arrived at the beginning of the clutch, two more of the fragile eggs had been laid. One was quite large, creamy with a pale green sheen, and the other was smaller, a pure emerald color with dark green dots.

Fayt sat on his bed, thinking over the Queen who was currently on the Hatching Grounds. "I hope I get a Thunder. That would be nice." He pulled his hair into its ponytail and stood from his bed. He walked out of the room he had been in and headed for the Hatching Grounds for a walk on the warm sands.

Come/
That thought rang in Inuna's head as she sat up, rubbing her face, her hair messy. Quickly she looked over at Kary, who was sound asleep. The cheetah had grown a lot since her birth, and was now about twenty pounds. She hadn't made that though... Dragons. It had sounded like a dragon voice. Quickly she got out of bed, carful not to desturb her companions, and shuffled into her sandles, and threw some clothing on. Muttering and still rubbing her face, she proceeded to the hatching grounds.

Luxa's head popped up. She had been sleeping, but something woke her up. She didn't know what it was, or why it was happening, but it was there. Her dark blue eyes darted this way and that, looking for whatever it was. She stepped out of bed, using a small candle for light. After changing into her regular clothes, she stepped out the door and into the hall. Walking as quietly as she could, she listened for any sounds as to what it was. As she got closer, she felt more and more scared. She didn't say anything, but her face showed so much emotion, she thought she should go back to bed. But no, she would find out what it was. It was when she found the sands she knew what it was. She wiped a bead of sweat of her brow. It was always so warm here. She peeked around the corner. She saw the black glitter named Cralinth. And then the weyrwoman, Kila. Cralinth was... clutching. Luxa swung herself back against the wall, away from the eyes of the two. She wasn't supposed to be here.

Candidates, Come. She commanded. Her rider was here, and she ignored Kila. She paced the perimeter of the sand again, before convulsing, and another egg, maroon with a yellow band landed softly on the ground.

Fayt heard the voice in his head and he continued his walk to the Hatching Grounds. On the way he saw Luxa and he nodded in hello to her. "We should be going now," he said as he walked by her, towards the Grounds.

Luxa, knowing her prescence was sensed, walked in. She looked at the ground, saying nothing. Was she in trouble, or supposed to be here? Only Cralinth knew and she was probrably going to find out.

Nera was up, doing gods knew what. (Aka you don't want to know...) When she heard the call, her head snapped around, the butterfiles that had landed on nher head and shoulders rising in a great cloud. San cocked her head to one side, then took flight, leading her bonded out toward the sands.
Yane yawned, opened one eye, glared at the ceiling, then got out of bed and tossed some clothing on, before turning and tripping over a skin which had landed on the floor. The crash was enough to wake the entire Weyr, and indeed alot of the girls jerked up in bed.
Sanara awoke to a crash and a call. Grimacing, she shoved her three flitts off her chest, and looked up at Yane, who was getting to her feet. "Clutching." Yane enplained before dashing from the room, limping slightly on her foot. Sanara blinked, then scrammbled out of bed toward the door, managing to get a robe on somehow.
Kiken had jumped up at the Crash, a hand flying for her belt before she remembered she was in the Weyr. She turned in time to hear Yane say clutching, and dash out of the room. Her eyes widening, she got to her feet, and picked up Nin, who opened one eye at he, before climbing onto her head and falling asleep. Kiken rolled her eyes, and ran from the room.

Oren was up, reading a scroll in the library when the call came. Looking up, her put the scroll aside, and got slowly to his feet. The eggs would be there for a while, why rush it? He found his place in the scroll he had just put down, marked it, before going to put it away. Once that task had been completed he ammbled out of the library, toward the hatching grounds, his hands behind his head, staring up at the walls.
Zaben had been asleep when the call came, and when he awoke, it was because he had fallen out of bed. "Scort-Ow...." Rubbing the side of his head, he pushed himself off the ground, and untangled the mass of skins from around his body. "Why di-" He stared at some of the other boys for a second, all of whom where rushing out of the room. Then his eye's wided in understanding, and grabbed his robe (Not the white one) and ran for the hatching grounds.

Kila walked towards her dragon, carefully inspected the eggs from a distance. No queen eggs yet, unfortunately. And it was unlikely that there was one in the clutch at all. Preoccupied with thoughts, she tripped over something in the ground.... Her mouth formed an o and her violet eyes widened when she saw what had been in her path. It was round, and the same color as the sand around it. And by the feel when her hand touched it, something....alive was in it. An egg. One that looked ready to hatch. How long it had been there; she wasn't sure. But Cralinth started humming while walking around, and by the fine lines etching themselves down the shell, it was hatching.
((Savona, remember how we tlaked about this?))

"Yes," Luxa asked quietly from where she was standing, which was the edge of the sands. Was she in trouble? Only time, and Cralinth could say that. She looked around at all the other candidates. There were many of them, along with her.
