Sean tapped her fingers against her teeth. This waiting was not going to make her nervous. Really. Her husband was off in another part of the Isle, checking out the riding gear or something. But there was something about this easter egg thing that was putting Sean on edge.
She wasn't sure what exactly it was.
It is just you being nervous, Ajandeykth commented, and rolled into the sun that streamed down onto her ledge.
"Oh, hush up." Sean said.
Eventually, after a couple days of this, Sean and Sapadt went to sleep and Sean's dreams were very queer indeed. She thought there were things slipping beside her, then running away, hiding.
When they were awakened Aja gave off a little trumpet. Today is the day the eggs will hatch!
"That's right!" Sean said, excitedly. Lucas, the guy in charge of having created these Easter eggs in the first place, agreed.
He paced around because the eggs were missing from their sandy nest - but Sean thought that might not be so out of the ordinary. After all she'd read up on the tradition, and someone must have hidden the eggs.
"So let's go find those eggs!" Lucas yelled and everyone was off in their own direction looking.
Sean found one after using her keen eyesight and spotting it among the grasses on the little isle in the lake. But how would she get there? She knew no one else had seen it, yet at least.
"Aja!" She called out, and the little Christmas dragon flew to her side. Perhaps others might think she was cheating, but someone else was using her flitter to search so this couldn't be out of the ordinary. "I need to get to the island in the middle of the lake!"
She climbed onto Aja's small shoulders, and they flew over the lake. There, Aja's small size came in handy as she delicately landed and Sean picked the egg up. But what next?
Sean was pleased when the egg broke in half, to reveal a cute red colored bunny-dragon! She was little, and Aja nuzzled her new friend.
I'm Sundai! The dragonet said, obviously female, and obviously pretty pleased about herself.
"Can you fly, Sundai?" Sean asked, but then realized that she didn't have wings.
Oh well. Nothing for it, but to swim across and hope that the bunnydragon could cross with her. Aja wondered why she didn't just have her pick the delicate hatchling up. But then both their worries were solved. Sean felt a zipping of motion beside her, and as she looked back, she didn't see Sundai at all - she only saw a blur. On the other side of the lake, back on the mainland, Sundai perched herself proudly and said, I can't fly, but I can bolt!
Sean continued to swim, getting her fur all soppy wet. Aja laughed, as she came across the lake as well.
I wonder what your husband will think of this development...
"I hope that he isn't bothered by me being one-up on him for dragons," Sean laughed, hugging the little red bunnydragon.
