Sarina blinked and yawned, stretching. Her parents were gone by now, and she got up to make some hot chocolate. She was halfway to the door when a loud crack sounded behind her. Whirling around, she swore loudly, and in the next moment thanking the stars that her parents weren't home.
The egg was hatching. Hatching. Why was it hatching!?!
Curiosity drew her closer and she crept quietly nearer. Then the eggshell shattered. Sarina's jaw dropped, all thoughts of hot chocolate wiped cleanly from her mind. The figure that sat in the middle of the fractured egg, covered in thick egg fluid. A dragon... Sarina's eyes turned slowly to her computer wallpaper, glowing on her bed. The creature flying was almost identical-though obviously older - to the creature that was now beginning to wail unhappily. Black scales? Check. Yellow eyes? Check. The only difference was the thin band of red around each of it's ankles. "Night Fury." She whispered, staring.
A particularly loud cry shook her out of her trance. Of course, it was hungry. Vaguely, she remembered that there was salmon and halibut in the fridge from last night, and canned tuna in the pantry. Running to the kitchen, she quickly unloaded all the halibut she could find. Pausing to grab a couple of towels from the hall closet and a few spare bowls from the kitchen, she reentered her room and created a makeshift nest right next to the dragon, patting the center. She moved with a timid wobble, but finally made her way over to the soft heap. Smiling, Sarina put the fish in one bowl and filled the other with water. Using a bit of the dragon's bed to towel her off, she sat for a while, thinking, while absently stroking the dragon's black scales. She couldn't really explain why she felt so strongly now about caring for this dragon- but she knew that she didn't want to give her to a shelter or a carehouse, or anywhere else. Her mind strayed from that thought and to the concern of a name. Lilith? No, that was a villain in Dream It... Kyran? No, that was a war hero in Two Sides of the Law... Brynhilder? Maybe, but it was rather a mouthful.
Then she thought of her What If for Lord of the Rings. The main characters were Kleia, Anora, Kazryn, and Sarinn. Kazryn... it was a nice name, belonging to a small dark-skinned girl with a bow and arrows who was catapulted into the wrong world and proved herself up to the challenges that awaited her. Just like her and the dragon now gulping down the fish she'd laid out for it. Kazryn...
Sarina looked at her new dragon. Yes. "Kazryn." She said. The dragon turned her head towards her. Apparently Kazryn was just as intelligent as a human. And so much earlier...

Kyle couldn't help but notes a couple of things one was the dragon was a night fury. Two the dragon had purple eyes and three the dragon also had some bits of gray on its wings, back and its head. As he though about those qualitys he looked at a picture of a dragon he drew which look identical to the dragon infrunt of him.
After opening its eyes the night fury looked up at Kyle and tried to get of the remainder of the egg to get to Kyle
Kyle looked at the dragon and sore that it was struggling so he picked the dragon up and then realised that it was covered in some sticky slime "Looks like someone needs a bath" he said before taking the dragon in to the bathroom and started to run the water in the sink which was just the right size for the dragon. As Kyle was washing the dragon who wasn't enjoying the wash Kyle thought that the dragon was a boy he wasn't shore why he thought that but he did and he stuck with it he also thought about the other eggs were they night fury's too he would of thought more about it if his dragon cry which made him come back to earth and notes what was going on, he was scrubbing too hard "Oh sorry" Kyle said before getting a towel and started to dry the dragon off making shore not to do time too hard.
After Kyle put the dragon on his bed and sat next to it and said "I will name you Darkender" just like the dragon he drew.

Matt was snapped out of his daze by the dragon's whine. He realized how weak it was; it was less than a minute old, and it had just fought its way out of an egg. It was frail and weak, covered in slime, and confused. And to top it all off, its eyes weren't even open yet.
Matt quickly opened his bedroom door and ran to get two towels. He ran back, shut the door, and locked it behind them, then set to work on cleaning the hatchling off. He carefully rubbed it down with one towel, and then wrapped him in the other. Gently, he picked it up and cradled it.
The hatchling gave out a high-pitched whimper, and then curled up in his arms. Instant love and affection for it spread through Matt's heart. He was glad he had kept the egg.
It wasn't long before it fell asleep. As it slept, Matt thought things over. How the hell is this possible? was one question on his mind. Along with many others. Where did the mother go was another. But since he could answer none of those questions, he decided to examine the dragon.
It was a regular black night fury, and it looked to be male. Matt smiled as he thought of just what to name it.
Shade.

About an hour had passed and Misael was still sitting on his bed, with the hatchling cradled In his arms. He spent the whole time thinking, trying to get out of his confusion and try to figure things out. He failed in doing so, however.
He looked down and the small night fury and gently caressed her forehead as she slept. Everything just felt like a deem to him at the moment. He rwalzly couldn't believe this was all real. To the point where he did a couple of 'reality checks' a couple of times to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
Not long after he began to get lost in his mind once more he felt the dragon moving in his arms. She stretched her arms and legs a little and let out a small yawn as she seemed to wake up, once again not opening her eyes. Misael was wondering about when she would. Most animals are born like this and open their eyes a few days after. He wondered if it was the same for Silvermoon, as he called the female hatchling.
At first, she didnt move at all. she just lay there, limp with one arm hanging over Misael's. And then she started wailing slightly. Not as frequent as before, but a couple of times every once in a while. And heard a quite rumble come from her stomach. It meant she was hungry.
"Crap..." Misael said to himself quietly. He remembered that they still had a bit of meat in the kitchen. He gently lifted Silvermoon and carefully placed her in front of him, and then he stood up. He looked back at her. She was still whining quietly, but he hoped she wouldn't start crying loudly again because he was gone. He exited the room and went downstairs.
He filled a small bowl with water and cut off piece of meat andput it on a plate. He was about to go when he realized something.
He didn't remember seeing any teeth in her mouth. Of course, this also meant that they're born toothless just like animals as well. She wouldn't be able to even chew on the meat at all.
He got a knife and look another ten minutes or so chopping the small chunk of meat into small pieces. With his hands hacking a little, he went back upstairs.
When he entered the room he saw that Silvermoon was no longer in the blankets he had put her in. She had crawled out, and was blindly making her way to the edge of the bed.
He gasped slightly and put the things on the table and hurried to his bed, catching her right as she yelped slightly anc she started sliding off his bed. He had made it just in time. He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her again. He put her down on the floor for a moment and came back with the plate and bowl.
Misael sat down and carried her onto his lap, gently. Figuring out how he was going to do this, he grabbed a few pieces of meat and brought them to her mouth. With his other hand, he carefully opened her jaw, and placed the meat inside. Her whining seemed to calm down a bit as it looked like she was actually chewing and tasting it, and then she swallowed it. Misael continued doing the same until the plate was clean.
As for the water he slowly lifted her head upwards and brought the bowl, opening her jaw a bit again and allowing some of the water to pour into her mouth, slowly. He took a couple of breaks so that she wouldn't start choking o the water accidentally. And after a few minutes, he was done with that as well.
"Phew..." Misael said. Taking care of a pet wasn't his thing...and feeding her was a little tiring. But now it almost looked like she was smiling, and once again she started to fall back asleep. Misael smiled and left for a moment to bring back the things and was them.
After he was back Silvermoon was already fast asleep again, letting out cute an quiet snores. Misael smiled as he carried her onto his be again. He sat down and placed her by his side. Then he turned on his laptop. He was starting to like this and really felt affection for the fragile being by his side. For now, he just needed to clear his mind a little before he got too excited or even more confused. He was already imagining what it would be like once she opened her eyes, learned to walk, and whatnot. Or when he would start calling her by the name he gave her.
He made sure He could easily see Silvermoon were she to wake up. Once the laptop was booted up, he plugged in his headphones and started to play Portal.

Belatedly, Sarina noticed that Kazryn was gumming what remained of her fish. She winced, silently berating herself for forgetting that animals weren't born with teeth. A definite screwup on her part.
Kazryn looked sleepily up at her. "Good girl, Kazryn." She whispered, scratching the hatchling's head. The dragon made a sleepy, happy growling sound in her throat and closed her eyes again. Sarina was vaguely reminded of a Terrible Terror after being fed. Cute, sweet, and puppylike. The difference was that Kazryn would grow up to be 40-ish feet long with a 40 foot wingspan...a Terrible Terror, on the other hand, was much smaller.

Kyle looked at darkender and sore that he was sniffing around and licking his lips which was a sign that he was hungry so Kyle got up and said "wait hear darkender I'll be right back" then Kyle went downstairs and into the kitchen to look for a fish because Kyle knew that dragons love fish. After he found one he got a bowl and filled it with milk for the dragon. As Kyle was walking though his living room his dad asked him why had all that stuff which he quickly replied" im just having a little snack that's all"and ran upstairs into his room. As Kyle entered his room darkender's head shoot up in a excited way and sore what Kyle had in his hands. Seeing happy darkender was to see him Kyle put the bowl on the floor, picked up darkender and put him on the floor too then knowing that darkender didn't have any teeth Kyle took a small bite out of the fish, chooed it up, spat it in to his hand and gave it to darkender who looked like he enjoyed it.

As Matt was holding the dragon, a thought came to him. When the hatchling woke up, he would probably be hungry.
He placed the towel on his bed and draped the comforter over Shade's small body, leaving his head uncovered. The dragon murmured in his sleep, and stretched out over the mattress. Matt smiled, and then left, leaving the door shut.
He went downstairs to the fridge, and was greeted by his mom. He greeted her back, and opened the fridge. What should I give him? he thought. He looked through the meats he had, and pulled out a few slices of ham. Making sure nobody saw, he put it in his pocket, and then shut the fridge. To disguise his trip, he opened a drawer, pulled out a bagel, cut it in half, and put it in the toaster.
Then, he returned upstairs and locked the door to his room. Shade was still sleeping soundly. He waited there until he heard the toaster pop, and then he returned to fix himself breakfast. He brought it back up and ate it while watching the dragon.
A long time passed, until Shade finally woke up. The dragon mewled, and tried to walk forward. Matt caught him just as he was about to fall off of the bed and held him.
The Night Fury looked up at him and opened its eyes for the first time.
Matt gasped. It was beautiful. The eyes were a bright, emerald green, and they looked up at him. He met them, and saw in them the personification of all innocence. He became lost in those eyes, and was only snapped out of his trance when Shade mewled again.
Then he saw something else in the eyes. The hatchling was hungry.
Matt laughed, and pulled out the ham. "I don't know if you'll like this," he said. "But it's the best I could do." He fed him the strips, and the dragon gobbled them up eagerly.

Misael had played for another half an hour when Silvermoon woke up once again. At first, she only stirred. Misael paused the game and closed his laptop again, setting it aside as he waited for her to wake up. She yawned and moved her head, laying it on his leg. Misael smiled and scratched her neck soflty. As he did so, The hatchling slowly began to open his eyes. Misael stopped suddenly as he watcher her open her eyes for the first time, speechless. Her eyes were beautiful. Same shiny green as Toothless had in the movie. But seeing them himself in person, they really looked wonderful. For a few seconds he stared at her directly in the eyes, deep in though. She was staring back at him too. They were only like half open, and it almost seemed like she couldn't see exactly well, as she kept on moving her head slowly. *Misael smiled without knowing, and then Silvermoon turned to another direction, looking around the room, quietly making strange noises. Misael pat her side gently, and laying her head back on his leg she let out a sigh, looking back at him for a moment and closing her eyes once more. Misael was still lost in thought after that beautiful moment. He was sure that was certainly something he wouldnt forget in his life. Silvermoon didn't seem to be falling asleep, but she still lay there, calmly breathing and occasionally opening her eyes again for a few seconds. Then Misael thought it was time to call one of the others. Without moving too much, he reached for the table and grabbed his phone. He entered Matt's number and called, waiting for an answer. "Hey, what's up? I just wanted to ask...Do you want to come over? There's something I want to show you. I think you'll like it." Silvermoon twitched her ear a little and lifted her head again, staring back up at him. Misael pat her once more on her forehead, and she lay back down with her eyes closed. He remained on his bed, waiting for Matt to arrive. ((Hope you're okay wit that Shade ))

A thought occurred to Sarina. The other eggs- if Kazryn had hatched, then the others probably would have too. Thanking her lucky stars-again- that her parents weren't home, she reached for her cell phone and dialed Misael's number. "Hey Misael?" She said as the phone stopped ringing. "It's Sarina. I've got some news about the eggs...though come to think of it, you probably know already..."

(It's fine, T11, don't worry)
"Okay, I'll be right over," Matt said. He hung up the phone, and then thought about how to smuggle Shade over there. He eventually decided on emptying his backpack and hiding the little dragon inside.
When he got to the bottom floor, he told his mom he was leaving to go to Misael's house, and then left. He walked down the snowy street until he got to his friend's house, and then rang the doorbell, taking a deep breath.

(Thanks ^^ and again, happy birthday Dorano! Not long after he hung up, Misael got a call, This time from Sarina. He answered and they greeted eachother. He listened as she told him about the eggs. "Yeah I do, actually..." he chuckled. At this point Silvermoon was already looking up at him again. "Hey listen, I just called Matt...Hes on his way here. I don't know...If you want and can, you can come over to my house if you'd like." Misael said. After a little more talking, they hung up. Silvermoon was staring at the other side of the room with a sleepy look. Misael pat her head gently and she lay her head down, closing her eyes again. A couple of minutes later, the doorbell rang. Misael quickly got out of bed and put his slippers on. He had only taken one step when he heard some whining behind him. He turned around and saw that Silvermoon was crawling after him, almost falling off the bed again until he caught just In time, putting her on the floor. He scratched her head and then, even though he felt odd for doing so, said "Hey don't worry...I'll be right back right now." with a calm voice and a smile. And as if it were magic, the hatchling seemed more calmed. Misael was amazed of the intelligence she had. He exited the room, closing the door and standing beside it for a little. He did not hear Anthony. Then he proceeded to going downstairs, and opened the door. "Hey Matt!" he greeted his friend.

Hey everyone Pretty cool story you've got here. I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if I might join in? I know you mentioned that it's just the four of you but I think a new character would really help to develop the plot. Perhaps I could join in as the person who sent you the dreams, somebody who knows about the dragons and made sure you found the eggs to keep them safe? I could arrive at the house you're all gathered at to bring the group information on what to do with your dragons or something? That way I could just post occasionally when you need help with the dragons as they're growing up or you have a problem that you need help with - that way i wouldn't be too involved and it could still be mostly you're story! Just an idea as this seems like a fun RP forum Let me Know, L x

(Just so you know, talk in parenthesis when you're not RPing. Also, that might be good, but we'll have to see what everyone else thinks. Welcome to the forum, though )
