[center][b][size=6]THE BEGINNING: BURRIED EGG[/size][/b][/center] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49492343][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/494924/49492343.png[/img][/url] [img]http://flightrising.com/images/nests/1/1healthy_4dead.png[/img][/center] Quartz trudged along in the deep mineshaft, her now makeshift home. She inspected the furthest point in the cave where the walls felt fragile. She left out a huff and hit the wall with a great force. It crumpled to the ground, revealing a small hole leading into darkness. She hesitantly looked and regretted it. There was a dragon sized skeleton in small hole. She gritted her beak and brought her torch closer, examining the skeleton. It appeared to be one of a bogsneak. She didn't feel like doing anything with it so she examined the rest of the hole. Besides the skeleton was a pile of smallish pebbles stacked together. She gently nudged the pile, causing them all to break and roll off. Besides the few in the middle. They stuck together, looking like a ball made of rocks. [i]Earthshaker's grace…[/i] she pulled it out and rushed up to where her living space was. She gently sat it on her table, inspecting it for any signs of injury. It seemed to be perfectly preserved causing a rush of relief to fall over her. [i]You've been down there a long time… will you still hatch?[/i] She picked it back up and walked out of the mine into the sunlight. She held it from her body, allowing the light to reach it. She's been staying there a while, how long could they have been down there? Maybe they wouldn't hatch on their own. She decided there that no matter what, she'd help this hatchling anyway she could. Though there was no telling if she could help them, after what happened to her old clan. She prayed that it hadn't reach them. All those skeletons, how the earth broke and shook… She shook her head and looked back down at the egg. She then looked around, looking out for any onlookers. She ducked back into the mine and trudged back into her living area. She sat at the table and gently put the egg down. [i]This egg needs help…. I don't know if I can care for them if I do manage to help them…[/i] She walked over a few feet away from the table to her stores. She had an abundance of meat, thank the gods, but absolutely none other types. She wondered if they'd like meat. If they didn't she'd have to start a farm, fish, or learn to catch bugs. All of which sounded exhausting. She hesitated by the stores, looking down the way towards the hole. She'd have to cover that back up as soon as possible. Wouldn't help the young one to see that if they hatched. ------------------------ first update!! will the egg hatch? what happened to Quartz's clan? were there any onlookers? stay tuned! kinda unrelated, but i have a headcannon that snappers can easily tell what a skeleton or bone came from just from looking at them- ya know, cause of the Cairnstone Rest and their whole deal with knowing stuff. did you know that snappers actually have beaks? wild.

...is her abundance of meat and her clan's disappearance connected

mayhaps

Not a wobble or crumble; nothing. She considered traveling up the cliff to where the earth acolytes lived- but what was she going to say to them?[i] Oh hey, i found this egg buried with a dead body, can you make it hatch?[/i] As if she could get more than two words with them. Not to mention a few of them responded to her old clan when it hit…. They’d take any excuse to get rid of her. Despite that she still had a shred of hope for the egg to hatch. Everyday she’d carry it out in front of the sun, allowing it to bathe in the warmth. She was no caretaker but she knew that had to at least help them. She gently picked the egg up from the table, staring deeply at it as she was lost in thought. A crash slammed on the wall of her home, causing dust to go everywhere. She sat the egg down on the bed and ran to the opening of the cave. Above her head were too gangly mirrors darting form one side of the canyon to the other, slamming their bodies into the wall. Their arms, legs, and faces were covered in thick scales. “What in Earthshaker’s name are you two doing?!” she screamed at the mirrors at the top of her lungs, doubting they’d hear any other way. The mirrors stopped, one hanging onto the cliff side right above the cave entrance and the other midair. They blankly looked at each other in disbelief. Then the one above her snarled. “What did you say [i]snapper[/i].” the mirror crept further down, hanging their head inches from Quartz face. Quartz snapped her beak at the mirror, causing them to yank their head away. The other darting to her, landing just in the entrance. “I asked why you two are repeatedly slamming into the wall.” the one in front of her snarled this time, while the one above her looked into the cave. Their eyes widened, and darted pass her. “Wha- Chysio! What are you-” Chysio darted back out and behind the other mirror. “Look Hered! Remember when i told you yesterday and you didn't believe me! Here it is! How much do you think we could make off it?” Hered looked down at the egg they proudly showed off, then a wave of shock and disgust hit them. “Its not that I didn't believe you saw someone with an egg, it's that I didn't care. Do want to steal someones egg, Chysio?” her tone was flat and questioning but her face was filled with anger. “But we don't have anything-” “Chysio? Hered? Are you done yet?” all three looked up to the small child standing at the edge of the cliff above them. “Ceincy! Get back to camp-” Quartz yanked the egg back from Chysio while she yelled up at the mirror. “Hey-!” hered glared daggers down at her, silencing her. “Hello? Who is that? Do they have food?” the young mirror stepped closer to the edge of the cliff. “Ceincy stay there you can't fly yet!” the young one wasn't a good listener, and didn't notice the fragility of the ground beneath them. They took another step, and the ground gave way beneath them. ------------------- looks like there were onlookers! a couple of dumb mirrors spending their past time running into cliffs! how fun!

Quartz hurled herself past Hered and Chrysio under the falling hatchling. They collided midair, Quartz catching Ciency and holding tight to the egg. They rolled down the cliff side, the two mirrors darting towards them. They eventually stopped rolling, the ragged earth cradling them. Nor Quartz or Ciency moved. Hered and Chrysio nearly ran into each other trying to get to them as fast as they could. Hered gently flicked a claw at Quartz’s face. No reaction. She heaved her own off the small egg and took it from her. “Hered are we-?” she shot daggers at Chrysio, than handed the egg to her. “Take the little one back to where you found it. Now. then come back and put Ciency inside the cave.” chrysio widened her eyes, then reluctantly flew away with the egg. Hered looked back down at the mirror and snapper. With her second set of eyes she could clearly tell they were still alive. The impact must have knocked them out. Chrysio flew back, shot a glance at hered, then flew off with Ciency. Hered took a deep breath, then began trying to heave the massive snapper up. She became enraged with every time she had to try again. “Chrysio! Come help me with this snapper!” she darted down towards the two and pulled on Quartz. They tried like that for a while, but both fell and sat. “Ugh, your even skinnier than I am, we can't get her back up there…” they sat in silence, staring at Quartz. “I dont want to keep watching a dead body all day. I'm gonna go collect up the camp.” hered waved her hand as Chrysio flew away. “Need some help, Plague Spawn?” Hered jumped and looked up at the large spiral. It was the size of an imperial, definitely not a normal spiral. Their eyes were glazed over with tiny stones encircling them. “Who- what-!” the spiral rested on the ground infront of them. “Calm, spawn. I see this aged boulder isn't doing so good. Oh, and I am Artaios.” the spiral easily hefted up Quartz. He flew towards the cave entrance, hered right on his trail. He gently sat quartz on the entrance. “Could you bring me that young pebble?” she backed into the cave, keeping an eye on Artaios as she went. She shakily handed the egg to him. He balanced the egg on a single claw, closely examining it. He then clenched his fist around the small egg nearly giving hered a heart attack. He then sat his other hand on Quartz. He held his hands still for a time, then handed the egg back to Hered. “Keep an eye on this one, okay little spawn?” She nodded in shock. Artaios flashed a tired smile then trudged away, his feet shaking the ground as he walked off. ------------------ Nothin like getting visited by god in dragon form, huh?

Quartz still laid, motionless. [i]Crack…. scrape …… crack….. [/i] She jumped, looking around for the source of the noise. Her heart fell when she realized it came from the egg. “No no no! Don't fall apart, stay together!” The rocks crumpled off, and she stacked them right back on top. She kept at it till the young hatchling licked her hand. She nearly dropped them from shock. “Oh you hatched! Er, are you a dragon…? You look like a fatter Quartz….” she held the hatchling close to her face, trying to recognize their breed. It licked her again. “Stop it, no licking!” She walked over to Quartz, kicking her foot into her side. Quartz groaned and glared up at the young mirror. “Your alive, thank the Plague Mother!! Heres your kid!” Quartz stared up at her wide-eyed when she sat the dragon on her. “What.” “They hatched! And thank you so much for trying to save ciency from falling, he's not a very good listener…” she crouched down to be at eye level, genuine gratefulness in her eyes. “Their not- wait, is the mirror- Ciency? Okay?” Hered blinked, then stood and rushed down into the mine without a word. Quartz heaved herself up, careful not to jostle the young hatchling too much. She ran after Hered, slowing down when she saw her crouched at her bedside, Ciency whimpering and holding his arm on it. She crouched down besides hered, looking at Ciency’s arm. “Hello… Ciency, can i look at that arm real quick? Looks like you scraped it.” he vigorously shook his head, pulling it closer to his chest. “I had Chysio carry him down here, sorry… we can go and deal with this.” hered went to stand but Quartz put a hand on shoulder. “Woah there, where's your clan? No one travels through here anymore. If your parents are near ill escort you there, that one can't fly and it's not safe.” hered eyes widened. “....were traveling alone. Our parents left us a long time ago when Chrysio got sick, and we've just been traveling around….not a lot of clans want mirrors…” “... Im sorry. Thats a horrid thing to do. Is he your brother too?” hered shook her head. “No, we found him while we were still in plague. Plague eggs actually look a lot different from earth eggs…” “Well your not gonna keep traveling around, i know you don't much ‘cause of your sister,” Quartz paused, “...you can stay here with me, if you want. Theres gonna be rules, but…. Its kinda warm, i can easily make you a few beds, and ill have food most of the time.” she looked at her, half expecting her to say no. but Hered’s welled up in tears, and she gave the tightest hug she’s ever had. She sobbed thanks you into her shoulder. She awkwardly patted her back, while looking down at the hatchling in her lap. “...alright, first things first, i need to see your arm, kiddo.” Ciency backed up scared. “Its alright, Ciency, she wont hurt you.” “...” “Ciency please, it wont stop hurting if you don't show her-” “... i cant move it.” ----------------------------------------- [emoji=guardian sad] lots of talking and crying, but an official move in!
