Writing
"Lin. Lin! Our eggs are hatching!" Pan called out excitedly, poking his head around the door to look into the main room of the treehouse, beaming excitedly before he disappeared back around the door, leaving the dragons in the main room silent for a moment as they processed what Pan had just called out.
After a moment of silence, Lin leapt to her feet and dashed off into the side room where the eggs had been kept safe, just in time to see the shell of the first and then the second egg splinter apart and scatter across the floor as two blue baby dragons tumbled out, both crying out as they entered into the world for the first time.
"Oh, they're beautiful." Lin said softly, crests trembling with emotion as she moved to sit by the hatchlings.
A moment later, Azami's head appeared around the door as she looked in herself, gasping softly as she caught sight of the hatchlings, and Pan very gently trying to encourage them to their feet.
The first hatchling who had tumbled out, moments before his sister, was a bogsneak, and just as big as Lin herself, and it had been suspected for a while that one of the eggs would turn out to be a bogsneak as the egg had grown larger and larger in size. The second hatchling was a tiny fae who was slowly making her way across the floor towards Lin, seemingly intimidated by all the huge dragons in the room around her.
"Oh my goodness, they're absolutely loverly!" Pan exclaimed, beaming brightly as he watched the bogsneak take a few trembling steps forward, claws hovering protectively nearby to catch him if he should fall. "What should we name them?" He asked, looking over at Lin.
"I want to call her Mariana, for being born under the strength of the water flight." Lin said, gently scooping up the fae into her arms once she'd crawled close enough. "And I think he should be called Atlas." She added, looking over at the bogsneak who was steadily exploring his way around the room, curiously sniffing at anything he could reach.
"They're lovely names." Azami chimed in from the door, smiling down at the scene before her. "And they look so similar to their parents." She added, seeing the little blue-coloured family together. Pan beamed happily from ear to ear as Lin's crests flared with pride and happiness.
"They're our children, our eggs hatched and we're parents now, Lin!" Pan exclaimed, almost a little tearfully as he gently guided Atlas towards himself, wanting to cradle the hatchling like Lin was doing with Mariana.
"They are. They're our beautiful children." Lin agreed, crests still trembling with emotion as she looked down at the tiny little fae in her arms.

Good news with hatching the nest today - both eggs survived the hatching and we have two new bouncing baby dragons added to the clan!
As for the writing, I think I'm going to get it written tomorrow as I don't want this post to become ridiculously long,and I've already done a decent amount of writing for today.
