Welcome to Gaia! ::

The midday meal was coming to a close in Malvren, the dining hall still full of the hustle and bustle of this typically busy time and everyone was looking forward to the little bit of free time they would have before afternoon chores picked up again.

Chatter throughout the dining hall was animated and cheerful and Mercy found herself having quite a good conversation with one of the local blueriders when Aerith suddenly piped up in her mind 'Mine...some of the flits are showing me images of an abandoned flit nest on the beach' The white dragon inferred with a tinge of worry in her voice. 'I'm sure the mother will look after them...' Mercy responded in an attempt to sooth her dragon who had a soft spot for the little flits.

'They seem quite upset mine' The white added quietly..which Mercy took to mean that something had certainly happened to the mother of the clutch. The blue rider she had been speaking with took note of Mercy's dismay and asked what was wrong. Jostled out of her own private thoughts Mercy responded to the rider just as a lull in chatter hit the dining room

"Aerith says there is a flit clutch on the beach which has been abandoned..she's quite worried about the eggs" She stated, her voice carrying easily over the quiet room.




Lucky you, you've managed to find the nest! Go ahead and pick out the egg of your choice, the mother is no where to be seen and rumors abound as to what might have happened to her - one thing is clear though without a mother to protect them these little eggs won't last long on their own!


Teal/Cream striped egg - Clearly the largest egg in the clutch, the other's are all nestled against it like children at the feet of an older sibling. - Found by Zeren, Revel1984

Purple//Blue Splotched egg - On the medium to small side of things this is none the less an attractive egg that's sure to draw peoples attention.

Blue/Black speckled egg - Also on the smallish to medium size this eggs pattern is quite unique compared to others in the clutch.

Crimson/Grey striped egg - this egg is hands down the smallest egg in the clutch, it looks positively minuscule compared to the teal/cream egg. - Taken by Janeallia - Vampire-Dragon-Lover

Mottled purple egg - On the small side of things this egg is clustered into the center of the clutch - Taken by Morgaine (She-ra of Etheria)

Red/Purple egg - verging on the medium side of things but still fairly small this egg looks like its shell has a bit of a rough exterior. - Taken by Wykla - magnadearel

Green Flower egg - This egg is definitely one of the larger eggs in the clutch it's similar in size to the Blue/Purple swirl egg - Taken by Ashmere - The Anesthesia

Green/Brown splotched egg - This egg could either be medium sized or a rather large small egg depending on your particular point of view. It's coloring is fairly unique though its less bright exterior might make some people over look it. Taken by Fick - Tawny

Purple/Blue swirled egg - This egg is of medium size but could still be seen as one of the larger eggs in the clutch. Taken by Z'el - Wotcher

Rikki heard about a flit clutch on the beach somewhere. She wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to look for it. Phro never said any different about how she felt when the flits came down to the beach and helped with scratching. It might be a good thing to have one around, possible send a message if they find something important while out in a search.

Well..she certainly hadn't meant to yell it out like that, she was just used to having to talk a bit louder then normal in the din of the dining hall - ah well...surely now the situation would take care of itself..Mercy knew of a lot of Weyrfolk, candidates and riders who were always willing to take on another flit. 'did they tell you how large the clutch is?' She asked Aerith in response to Wykla's question

'they are too agitated to give me anything but fuzzy pictures...I can only see that it looks to be on the beach' The white responded mournfully 'but quite a few I think..lots of brightly colored eggs'

Shaking her head slightly at Wykla, Mercy shrugged a bit "Aerith says they aren't being very clear..but she says it looks to be on the beach and seems to be a fairly large clutch"

Janeallia was still eating her food when she heard someone saying something about fire lizard eggs on the beach. Her interest was peeked, she'd always wanted a Flit, she found the small creatures charming and beautiful, though not as awe inspiring as their larger cousins. She refilled her water skin from the pitcher on the table and stood up walking out of the hall. She wanted to find those eggs, she'd only take one, she didn't need or want a gaggle of the winged beasts, one would make her happier than two.

Wykla gave her fellow rider a knowing grin. "Well at least they told you about the nest." She looked out over the cavern. Was there enough volunteers to go hunt for the nest. Boreal cheeped questioningly in her ear. Fescues flew around squeaking and ended up by Ashmere, gossiping with her two flits.

"I'll look Boreal, relax." It looked as if she wasn't going to get out of it. Wykla nodded pleasantly to Mercy and turned to head out of the cavern. She paused to glance toward Kameth. You coming to help look? No I think you will have plenty of helpers to look. I will lay here in the sun. The blue dragon rumbled softly.

Zeren had already left the dining hal by the time Ashmere spoke up, if he'd heard her at all he gave no sign but then, with four flits chirruping, or grumbling in Grym's case, it was hard to hear a thing, he would crtainly have buddied up with Ashmere if he had known. He was already headed out of the caverns and down tot he trail that led to the beach, he liked the beach, he'd been there when he'd Impressed Viska then had found Grym when walking with one of the Wherhandlers, Mud he'd IMpressed after finding a clutch with a friend and Draska's egg he had found sloppily hidden after being pestered by the others about a clutch and it seemed he wasn't about to let this chance for another pass him by if his four had anything to do with it.

Janeallia moved quickly across the grounds to the beaches, the thought occurred to her that there were several people looking for the eggs if not the entire weyr. If she didn't get there first she might not get an egg at all! She made it to the beaches and headed for some of the least populated parts for no wild flit would lay her eggs close to where human activity was common. She would have liked to search with a friend, but she was still rather new to the weyr and hadn't made any friends but she liked to people watch and had noticed several people she'd like to at least talk to. She knew she'd need to try soon.
