When a shuddering egg gave a mighty crack, the song of the dragons went silent suddenly. Two other eggs shook themselves loose from the sand, rolling about. Three dragonets burst from their eggs at once - but the one who certainly took the greatest praise for a moment was the first to show himself fully.

A bronze, brightly colored and quite large, lept from his shell with a dramatic creel. His voice did not give out, he wanted to be heard! The blue and green who hatched shortly after him gave this big boy a very wide berth. He did not move from the middle of the egg pile, instead, he climbed atop another pair of eggs and spread his wings.

...

Once [he and his bond] had cleared the sands, it was the blue and green's spotlight. The blue was obviously from the smaller green's clutch, being nearly the size of his sands-sister green. They met up on the dune nearest the group of candidates, and began looking them all over.

We have been conversing in our eggs, said the green to Pyotr, and we decided that you and your brother are best for us.

To Ilviylir, the small blue announced, I am Malmth, and my sands-sister is Steinspruth. We will be happy to aid you in your travels, if you wish.

"Il'ya," said Pyotr, "did you hear that?"

"I did, P'tr," the new blue rider said, grinning. "It looks as though we're proper riders and crafters now."
