Spineth

Deep Fog Egg

Soft swirls and tendrils of a fog-like grey, in the lightest of mists, soothes and surrounds this egg, lending an aura of mystique to the otherwise cynically dark charcoal tones. The mist parts to surround two other shapes, darker yet in co lor, but then it's gone again, hypnotic swirling striations in this egg deceiving the eyes, and leaving a vague bewonderment about the accuracy of your first impression.

Midnight brown hatchling

Slowly, deliberately, and painstakingly, the almost midnight brown hatchling frees himself of the remnants of the shelled womb which had harbored him safely so many months. His thin fragile wingsails extend tentatively, dripping and most w ith egg fluid. Unused to holding the weight of his head, the young brown's neck sags down. Pulling it back up with a determined little grunt, he finally opens his innermost eyelids, and takes a look at the world he's worked so hard at arriving into, pulle d forward by a hunger so intense it almost drives him back down to his knees.

Spineth the hatchling

A deep deep brown, rich and as full of life as the life sustaining earth beneath the rich evergreen forests of the north. Small and stocky, even fresh-tumbled out of his shell, the tracks the Dark Hardwood Brown Hatchling leaves behind in the sand ar e close together, as his steps are close together and deliberate. His proportions are perfect. An examination with a measuring tape and a record hide would confirm the classic desired relative lengths of limbs and tail and torso, all generously covered wi th flesh. His sturdiness, and a little dragonet-fat at hatching holds promise of an endurance and solidity in flight, once the flesh of his youth is turned into the muscle and power of his breed.
