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.
