Inali tossed for the twelfth time that morning. Cuddling in closer to her Weyrleader and werymate T'rian, the newly named Weyrwoman sighed. It'd been only a month since her gold had risen and his bronze had caught her. Yet, they'd known each other for turns before that. Pulling her body out of his arms, Inali pushed back the dark hair from her face. The Weyrwoman's quarters were even larger than the normal goldrider's one she'd been in. Honestly, she didn't even know what to do with the difference in size.
Looking out the little doorway leading to Loraketh's cave, Inali searched in the dim morning light for the pale golden hide. When she didn't see it though, Inali pulled off the covers. Lore...where are you? Searching out for her gold, the Weyrwoman finally found her and gasped. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Racing down the stairs that wove throughout the Weyr, Inali didn't care who she woke up. Wake up the entire Weyr if she had to! Finally, the Weyrwoman reached the hot hatching sands, and hanging on to the wall, she caught her breath.
There in the middle of the sands was her gold Loraketh. The lightly hued dragon raised her head and held out her wings showing off how her underside was more of a burnt orange. Well, it is about time you awoke and came down here My Lady. Snorting quite unlady-like, the gold shuffled around again. Inali smiled wide as she approached the Queen carefully. Even though she was Lore's rider, the Weyrwoman had heard stories of Queens turning and snapping even at Theirs.
Oh seriously? Like I would ever harm you LiliMine! The gold did snap at this, though Inali knew that it was only due to her own stupid thoughts. "I'm sorry my wonderful Loraketh." Inali peaked over her dragon's front leg where she lifted her wing to show her rider the eggs that had already been laid. There were already five on the sands, two of which she'd nudged over closer to her side even though they didn't glow like Queen eggs did. "What's with those two Loraketh?" Inali pointed to the two eggs in question as another was put onto the sands.
Hissing, Loraketh nudged her rider from her two precious eggs. Does a mother always know why she feels her children are special? Shaking her head, Inali agreed with the dragoness. It was Lore's first clutch and no doubt she was just letting what obviously would be the two largest eggs take the place of the gold egg she had not laid. The gold always had been motherly and protective anyway, so Inali didn't think twice against what her gold reasoned. Instead, she just leaned against the dragons side as the gold let out another two eggs. By the end there were fifteen in all. "Not bad for a first clutch Loraketh." Not bad? I'd say it is amazing My Lady. They shall be wonderful, absolutely wonderful. The gold leaned over to turn her eggs slightly, pausing to croon affectionately to the two larger eggs.

The 15 eggs:
1) Black and White egg-
The Black and White egg is exactly that. Half of the egg, the right side, is white, while the other is black. It seems almost as if a split personality even comes from this egg. One second it is happy and excited to have someone touching it. The next, it repels you and wants nothing to do with anyone or anything at all. It would take a large heart to love this dragnet and have the patience to deal with it, it seems.
2) Red Speckled egg-
The Red Speckled egg is a light blue egg with rusty red spots all over it. It's one of the medium sized eggs in the bunch, and has a fairly normal personality. It doesn't stand out too much, and yet it doesn't disappear into the background either. However, because this egg just has to be confusing, it also gives off a feeling of in-satisfaction. It doesn't like that it's in this middle-ground, and it hates its spot. Being too indecisive though to know which way it wants to go, it stays stuck in the middle. It often will bring similar feelings to the person who touches it.
3) Gray Dawn egg-
This egg is a grayish pink color. It's one of the two large eggs that Loraketh watches over protectively. Something calming comes from this egg, yet also calculating. The dragnet inside seems to be very quite as well, almost like there is an absence of speech. Amazingly, if it weren't for Loraketh being so protective, one might even not notice it despite its size. It seems to blend into the shadows and disappear especially next to the equally large Luminous Light egg.
4) Green Swirl egg-
The green swirl egg is another one of those eggs that jumps out at you. However, it isn't because of the color of its shell. In fact, the color is very saturated and dull. Being only a light and pale pink with a green hue swirling through it, it's one of the ones that tends to fade from your vision. However, the feeling from this dragnet's egg is what makes it stands apart from the rest. It is very fearful, so much so that it can be felt across the sands.
5) Midnight Bliss egg-
The Midnight Bliss egg is a very dark blue, to black shelled egg. It's ovular in shape, being more like a normal egg than a dented mess or sphere. It seems proud of this as well. In fact, the entire egg seems to be a creature made on pride, and pride alone. If one were to even whisper to it that something is wrong with how it looks, the shell will lurch up to the hand in defiance.
6) Luminous Light egg-
This egg is shining and golden, however not quite as much as an actual gold egg. Some do speculate that it holds a Queen, however with the way Loraketh acts around the normal looking Gray Dawn egg as well, no one is sure what will come out of it. The egg starts with a golden bronze color and lightens as it nears the top, being an almost off white hue. A strange feeling comes from this egg. It's quite....loud. One can hear it across the sands really, or feel it is more likely a better description. When anyone nears the egg, they can't help but want to admire its beauty and feel compelled to comment on it.
7) Tranquil Blue egg-
This egg is well, calm. Not quite calm like the Gray Dawn egg, but just a serene sweet kind of calm. Being a soft shade of periwinkle blue, it is speckled with silver dots from the top to the bottom of the shell. Anyone who comes around the egg generally wants to stay and sleep near it. Not only is it a relaxing presence, but also one that makes you tired. The dragnet inside also seems concerned about the people it meets. It makes them reflect on their lives and look at all the good memories.
8) White Dancer egg-
The White Dancer egg is softer and more, for lack of a better word, more lady-like than the Sky Spirit egg that it's next to. Seeming to have taken after its mother, the egg is crisp and clean and yet full of energy and a strong-will. It's perfectly round, no nicks, no scratches or rough patches, no discoloration to it at all.
9) Sky Spirit egg-
The Sky Spirit egg, like the White Dancer egg, seems kind of airy and light in personality. However, at the same time, the egg seems to have a sense of being almost too sweet. Not the good kind either. It's almost sickening how much it tries to kiss-up to the person who touches it, tempting them with feelings of happiness and love. It obviously will be an interesting egg to most because of the various reactions it will receive. The shell is a black, very black color even being one of its only stand-out features. It's tiny too, only rivaled on size by the Jumping Yellow egg.
10) Jumping Yellow egg-
The Jumping Yellow egg is just that, very, very yellow. It's bright and out there and is almost as loud as the Luminous Light egg despite being the smallest of the clutch. Being a complete hue of just banana yellow, it even hurts to watch it for long. People in fact normally cannot stand around it without getting a headache, however something compels you to stick to the shell. It's sweet in a childish way, and most love that. Not everyone will of course though, people that are less gentle or patient will hate the yellow egg.
11) Rainbow Love egg-
The Rainbow Love egg is sweet and caring. Though not as in your face as the Pink Heart egg, or even as excited as the Jumping Yellow egg, it is what it is and content to be just that. It's an egg that starts with a light red color at the top, going through all the colors of the rainbow as it moves to the bottom. It's not the smallest egg, but not the size of one of the medium eggs either.
12) Pink Heart egg-
The pink heart is a creamy color that has little reddish, pink markings on it in the shape of a heart. It's an interesting little egg, one that stands out for such a small specimen. It's perfectly round and smooth, not having a single place where it's rough or dented, however something still seems wrong with it. Usually a candidate touching this egg is washed over with
a strange feeling of loneliness and despair. The dragnet inside isn't so much frightened as just worried and longing for the passing candidates.
13) Dark Desires egg-
This particular egg is a bit unsettling in that it makes you think about everything you've ever wanted. However, these desires that are brought forth are not happy ones, it's every secret thing you're ashamed of wanting. Covered by a shiny slate gray shell, it has a blue sheen and perhaps could be called the prettiest egg of the bunch. It's also one of the largest eggs, though not larger than the Luminous Light or Gray Dawn egg.
14) Protective Warmth egg-
This egg portrays not really a protectiveness though as a possessiveness. The dark reddish brown shell is even dented in a few places, but it still reaches out to the candidates as they pass by. It seems to want, want you, want the person next to you, want the person that never came by, It longs for any attention it can grab, and brings forth insecurities in whoever touches it. It's not a happy little egg, but a sad one.
15) Wise Elder egg-
The Wise Elder egg seems exactly like its name. It's a protective and intelligent personality that radiates from the shell in waves. Instead of being cocky and showing off its intelligence though, it is docile and a bit stand-offish. The shell is a light brown, tan that darkens to a mahogany color at the top and bottom. The whole surface seems to pulse with a steady rhythm as well, calming the individual touching it.
Looking out the little doorway leading to Loraketh's cave, Inali searched in the dim morning light for the pale golden hide. When she didn't see it though, Inali pulled off the covers. Lore...where are you? Searching out for her gold, the Weyrwoman finally found her and gasped. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"
