::Aurthur was awakened by the sound of an eggshell cracking. Since his return home with his mate, he had stayed with her by the nest, his body curled protectively around her, the eggs, and their two newest hatchlings. Nudging his mate to wake her, he began the process of helping the hatchling into the world. When the first deep cracks began, he used the tip of his talon to carefully pull off tiny chips of the egg. It rocked wildly and finally shattered into pieces. Lying in the nest was a female hatchling of the purest white Aurthur had ever seen. He was amazed at the brilliance of her color, and as she began to cry, Aurthur crooned to her comfortingly and cleaned her thoroughly before tucking her under his wing so that she could rest safely after the exertions of hatching.::

One eye sleepilly drifted open as she felt the nudge, and she rumbled softly to her, mate, before turning her attention toward the nest and the newest hatchling there.

She'd missed the cracking of the shell having been sleeping in her mate's protection, but a soothing rumble was given to her newest daughter.

Just then, another egg started to shake, and the hatchling inside made a cry which she'd caught, lowering her snout, she gently helped the newest into the world, a blue male that looked similar to his father, though the male's belly scales were the lighter color of his mother, and he bore eyes the same color as his father.

::He watched the hatching carefully, his hackles half raised. He was aware of everything around him, even with the incredible emotions running through him of his children being born. He lowered his head to one of the last two eggs and nudged it gently with his snout.:: Come, my daughter.......it is time for you to come into the world. ::At that moment, Aurthur could not have told anyone how he knew it was a daughter, or that it was time for her to hatch, but just then the egg began to rock. With the strength inherited from her parents, the hatchling burst the eggshell into tiny fragments with her hatching, coming into the world with a hatchlings roar. Aurthur's eyes shone with emotion as he cleaned his newest daughter. She was truely beautiful, a mirror image of his wife. The exact color of her scales, the exact color of her eyes, any who looked upon her could tell that she was Icer's daughter.::

Arriving back at the lair, she rumbled softly, moving to nudge the last unhatched egg which had just started to tremble, then a tiny cry could be heard.

Soon with a little help, the dragoness lay coiled protectively around a little female that was the perfect image of her father. Purring softly, she gently licked her newest daughter clean, then she carefully fed the little one before falling sound asleep.
