Trinale watched as there was a commotion at the entrance and saw Saul 
push a young woman into the hatching cavern. The young woman almost 
immediately joined with an orange/yellow dragon. Trinale chuckled "Trust 
Saul to make an entrance!" she thought then her attention went elsewhere 
as there seemed to be some commotion near the stands.

She turned in the direction of Lord and Lady Blacken, Corina's parents, 
again and saw that an ashe black dragonet was making its way up into the 
bleachers by about three rows. She smiled, knowing that the dragonet was 
after the boy who stood there in the crowd. People parted as the dragonet 
made its way up and watched. Suddenly the boy looked and seemed to 
realize what was happening. He looked totally shocked and appeared to be 
trying to get back down out of the bleachers when he ran into one of the 
men trying to bring him a bowl of meat. The meat went flying everywhere, 
and Trinale giggled when she saw that as well as covering the boy, a 
number of the nobles had also gotten raw meat splattered on them. The boy 
appeared to be unconscious and Trinale watched as B'ril hurried over to 
check on him, while the boys dragon ate the meat off of him.

Her attention was then captured by Lord Fowler's son, Jared, as he joined 
with a large crimson dragon. "Firefly" he called out, his face beaming.

Then one of the wild eggs cracked and a grey dragonet poked out and the 
newcomer, Hugh, cried out "Korl!". Trinale was happy to see that the 
situation had worked out. A number of other dragon eggs were cracking and 
joining and she had noticed that the other wild egg was cracking.

Then her attention was drawn to the metallic egg, the Queen egg. The 
girls, who had not joined yet, clustered around the egg. Then as the egg 
began to crack, she saw the bard from last night, Merissa, come through 
the crowd, and throw her arms around the beautful metallic purple 
dragonet. "Chrysthal!" she called out.

Trinale smiled. She now had someone to help her with the duties of 
running the warren, and Merissa seemed very nice. Then Trinale heard 
voices calling in her head.

"Come back. Don't become enslaved by these humans. Come join us." Cricket 
roared as she also heard it, as did the other dragons in the area.

Wild dragons, calling to the dragonets. The ones joined would be fine but 
the others could be in danger. She saw the other wild egg crack, and a 
bright emerald green female come out. She saw it turn its head towards 
the cavern entrance and Trinale's heart dropped. It heard the wild 
dragon's. Candidates stepped near it, hoping that if they were meant to 
join with her, that she could be stopped. She stepped around them and 
continued towards the caverns entrance. Then it stopped. Trinale waited 
breathlessly.

A pale yellow male dragon, made its way towards the entrance also. "Come 
on, they are waiting for us, Beamer" Trinale heard.

Cricket roared. "my baby. Beamer is going because of that wild one, 
Emerald. No, he can't go, he can't!"

(Cricket, you can't stop them. If they are not meant to join, they will 
not join. You know that)

The cavern had grown quiet, with the occasional call of joy from other 
still joining candidates. Trinale's eyes were on Beamer and Emerald as 
they followed the voices out of the cavern.

(Come, come join us. We are waiting) the wild dragons called.

Tears flowed down Trinale's cheeks as she wondered if she had made the 
wrong decision with the wild eggs. But then she saw Hugh with Korl, and 
knew she hadn't.

She reached out to Beamer and Emerald (Be happy little ones)

As all the candidates fed their dragons or started for the hatchling 
barracks she called out "The feast is starting! Everyone have fun!"

She then turned her attention towards Cricket and hugged her."You did 
wonderful, darling. Now I need to go meet the riders of your children, 
and check on the boy that fell earlier. We will go hunting later today.
I will slip away from the party after awhile."

Cricket seemed a little forlorn but understood that Trinale had to do this.

Trinale approached all of the riders and congratulated them on joining 
and showed them where the hatchling barracks were, an area right off the 
hatching grounds. She also informed them after they got their dragons 
settled in they could come to the party for awhile. She told them the 
trainer would come through tomorrow and show them how to care for the 
dragons.

She then headed for Merissa "Congratulations Merissa. I am so happy you 
joined with Chrysthal! Now I have a jumior Queenrider to help me!" 
Trinale was very happy. "Let's get her settled and then we need to go 
join the party. I mean, politics is what being a Queenrider is all about"

Tag: Arlene!

Everyone: you will be shown to the hatchling barracks and then you can 
join the party later. You can write your conversations with Trinale if 
you wish.

Also, there are 9 eggs left, so if anyone wants to write npc's joining 
with these eggs that is fine. Just save 1 or 2 in case someone joins 
Whiteriver soon and wants to post themselves part of this hatching.

Trinale will be at the party for at least awhile if anyone wants to talk 
to her or anything. She will slip away at least for awhile around dusk or 
so.

Feel free to create npc's & suh...just send me bios when you do!

Kevin: Trinale will make a special point to meet with Tucker in the morning.
