They were laid, and then eventually they had to hatch. Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Ista has yet to be determined. Ellamariseth made a grand show with her humming, gaining a large crowd to watch as the ten ugly blobs on her sands started to shake and hatch. Among them was the nervous Weyrwoman with the Weyrleader. Ysa's disappointment in the ugly eggs only grew as the first egg hatched a very very ugly green, followed quickly by nine more ugly things that immediately paired off with their riders without too much of a fuss. The new weyrlings in the barracks have settled, but the gossip has not. The ten new pairs are as follows:
Herdbeast Patty Brown Fusarith and G'ram (Gramin)
Dragged in by Felines Brown Klaikoth and T'by (Torenby)
I Hope That's Mud Brown Terseruth and R'fal (Corifal)
Pool of Stagnant Water Blue Asperth and Gill
Shrivelled up Blue Claviceth and P'rea (Purprea)
Is That Meant to be Green Bretteth and Tawen
Food of Indeterminate Age and Origin Green Metith and T'rob (Tyrobin)
Oozing Ichor Green Myxath and P'oly (Poralys)
What did She Step in Green Puccinith and Trici
Something Died In Here Green Setankth and Melamy
The all chromatic ugly clutch of the Leaders have caused quite a stir, but no one will dare talk about how old dragons might be producing bad clutches in front of Weyrwoman Ysa, seen drinking off on her own by Ellamariseth on the beach after the hatching.
