Caia watched as her 23rd and 24th eggs hatched.
Nests were almost routine to Caia now. She knew how it worked. The egg would shake and cracks would crawl across the surface until a hatchling finally crawled out. She was used to this by now.
But Caia turned her attention back to the hatching eggs. Just because she was used to her eggs hatching didn't mean she should just stop paying attention. And watching her eggs hatch was always special.
The first egg, which was slightly larger than the other, was almost done cracking. Chips of its volcanic surface had fallen into the lava nest, and dark cracks had spread across the surface.
Any moment now, the hatchling would crawl out.
And then the hatchling did. She was a Mirror female, with gray striped scales, icy blue wings, and a murky green belly.

She crawled over to Caia's side, curling up in her mother's warmth. Soon, she fell asleep, breathing steadily.
Caia checked on her other egg. In the time that it had taken for the little Mirror hatchling to sleep, almost nothing had happened. Only a few thin cracks marred the surface of the smaller egg.
But eggs took different times to hatch a lot of the time, so Caia patiently waited for the hatchling to finally make its way out.
A while passed, though, and the egg remained only slightly cracked, rocking back and forth gently. Caia was starting to get worried. None of her other eggs had taken this long to hatch. Was something wrong with this hatchling?
After a few minutes, Caia decided to go get Mudsplatter. Perhaps the Hatchling Caretaker could help.
When Caia got up, though, disturbing the first hatchling, who mewled slightly, the egg began to rock wildly. A web of cracks raced across the surface. And with a small explosion, the egg cracked open.
Embers rushed out of the egg, dancing in the air for a few seconds before settling down around a plump Snapper female. She had a dark, almost black, body, with moon-colored wings like Caia's moon-colored scales. But her most striking feature was her bright yellow underbelly.

Caia was startled. Nothing like this explosion had happened in any of her other nests.
But she took the hatchling away from the dying embers and tucked her under her wing.
Then she began to think of names.
She quickly decided Aridatha for the Mirror. She wasn't sure why, but she liked the name.
For the little Snapper though, Caia puzzled over a name for a few seconds. She finally decided on just calling her Brightbelly, for her colorful yellow belly.
Tucking them closer against herself, Caia couldn't help but think that this was the most interesting nest she had had so far.

Caia wondered who she should take as her 9nth mate.
She was running short of options. Many of the males in the Clan were either related or had a mate already.
Well... There was Kinseeker. But he spent his time burying his snout in books and scrolls. Caia wasn't sure he would be interested in a mate.
But there were no other viable options.
Caia sighed and began walking up the corridor that would lead to his rooms.
A little bit later, Caia stared down at a three egg nest. She couldn't help but wonder why there were so many nests of three eggs. Every nest in the hatchery currently was a three-egged nest.
But still, three eggs was better than one or two. And soon there would only be 73 hatchlings left to go.

Caia looked down at the three eggs laying in her nest. All three were shaking, almost ready to hatch.
The first one was almost ready to crack open. A dark web of cracks had spread across the egg and it was rocking back and forth wildly.
It soon cracked open and a male Mirror crawled out. He had gray, rippling scales and pistachio wings with a pink-colored underbelly.

The second egg was shaking back and forth as well, and Caia figured that it would soon hatch.
But after a while it had made little progress. The second egg's smaller sibling was almost out by now even though at first the second egg had been almost ready to hatch.
The third egg splintered open, and with a shower of brilliant orange embers, a small male Coatl tumbled out. Caia stared in surprise. With most Coatl - Mirror pairings, all hatchlings were Mirrors. Getting a Coatl like this was unexpected.
This hatchling was a pale silver gray with dark green feathered wings. A brilliant yellow-orange underbelly was showcased on the hatchling.

Caia pulled the silver Coatl to her side and glanced at the last egg. Finally, it was hatching. A small Mirror snout poked its way out and another brother crawled out of the egg.
He had striped scales the same color as Caia's, and spearmint-green stripey wings. His underbelly was the color of tarnished metal.

She pulled all three brothers to her side, tucking them under her wing as they slept. She looked at the first.
"I'll call you Teon," she decided.
Then she studied the Coatl hatchling, who was rolled over onto his back, legs in the air. "You'll be Chance, for the tiny chance that a Coatl would hatch."
Finally, Caia looked at the third hatchling. "I'll call you Thore," she decided after a few moments of deliberation.

It was time for a new nest for Caia.
She really was running out of suitable mates. She would need to find more mateless males to father her eggs if she wanted to complete the challenge and become hatchling caretaker.
But two travelers had arrived into the Clan, to stay indefinitely. A female Spiral... And a male Wildclaw.
Caia had set her sights on the male Wildclaw, whose name was Xavneiros. He and his companion, the Spiral Aerita, were staying in the Clan of Falling Embers to replenish their provisions and would soon leave for the Shifting Expanse.
But before they left, Caia was determined to have a nest with Xavneiros.
She approached the golden Wildclaw as he collected meat bought from the Clan's hoard for he and Aerita to eat as they headed for the Lightning domain.
"Hi," she said, startling him and causing him to leap into the air for a few moments. "You're Xanerios, right?" she asked.
"Xavneiros, actually," he corrected, although he didn't seem annoyed. Perhaps he was used to correcting others. "How can I help you?"
Caia hesitated, then plunged on. "Well, I was wondering if you'd be interested in alternative payment for that meat?"
The Wildclaw stared, confused. "Alternative payment?" he asked.
Caia nodded. "Something other than gold. You'd probably rather keep your coin, am I right?"
Xavneiros stared at her for a few more seconds, then shrugged his wings slightly. "Tell me about this alternative payment method," he said.
[center][img]http://flightrising.com/images/nests/11/2healthy_0dead.png[/img][/center]
Later, while Xavneiros was back to packing the supplies needed for his and Aerita's journey, Caia watched over two new eggs.
It wasn't much, but soon, at least, there would be twenty and six out of a hundred hatchlings.

Caia impatiently watched the nest between her and Xavneiros shake. She was not in a good mood today.
She looked at the egg that was further along as it shook and trembled. Caia, after all these nests, knew when an egg had not long till hatching. She could tell that this egg, which was smaller than its nestmate, was nearing that time.
Unsurprisingly, she was right. Not long after, perhaps a minute or two, and the egg burst open. Bits of shell sprayed everywhere, most landing in the lava of the nests.
A firey Mirror female crawled out from the nest. She took more after her father in coloring, with a fiery orange body only a bit darker that her father's, gold wings like both her father and mother, and a pale green belly only a shade or two off from the blue spikes her father possessed. Her patterning, though, was just like Caia's.

Caia pulled the orange female close as she looked over at the larger egg. While she had been studying her new-hatched daughter, the other egg had progressed further. It was rocking back and forth as the hatchling inside fought to get out.
It didn't take too long for the egg to splinter open. Out came a cinnamon-toned male Mirror.
He, like his sister, was closer in color to their father. His body was more of a cinnamon spice color than his father's gold with pink accents. His wings, like his sisters, were the gold of their mother and father. He had turquoise spines, which were all his father.

Caia gently pulled him out of his shattered egg as well, looking over the two firey little Mirrors.
"Welcome to the world, little ones," she crooned, nuzzling them gently.
She thought on names for a while, and then finally decided on Hearthside for the first, because of her firey tones, and Spyke for the second, because he had his father's turquoise spikes.
That was 26 hatchlings now. More than one fourth of the way done.
Edit: They are both up for adoption!
