Chapter 1 ~
It was a cold chilly night, and Saphira and Infernal were sitting in their hut, looking proudly over their eggs. Saphira licked them clean as they warmed up beside the fire, making them glow bright and radiant. She sighed wondering what ever will they be like and what they will grow up to be. ''i cant wait'' smiled Saphira ''what do you think they will be like?'' she asked Infernal.
Infernal smiled. ''I dont know'' he replied. ''Hopefully great and strong little dragons. Anyway i'l be back, i'm going to get some food.'' he said as he flew off into the dark and cold night. Saphira lay down and curled herself up beside her eggs, just waiting. A small blast of wind blew through the window and caught Saphira right in the shoulder, she shuddered. Her emerald green eye's sparkled in the moonlight and were feeling very heavy. They slowly closed and Saphira drifted off to sleep.
During the late hours, the weather had slightly improved, but was still rather chilly. Infernal had just arrived back from his search with a large basket of fish. He dropped the basket in the corner and walked over to a sleeping Saphira. He lay down beside her and nuzzled her. But suddenly he heard a crack and shot his head up. He carefully looked around the room, making sure it wasn't an intruder, but then looked at the eggs again as he always did before he went to sleep and noticed a large crack on the yellow egg. The crack became larger and ran all the way around the egg, making the small hatchlings eye's slightly visible. ''Saphira!'' shouted Infenal. ''Saphira! Wake up!'' He nudged her and Saphira shot her head up.
''What is it?'' she asked sleepily. Infernal pointed towards the nest.
''Look'' he smiled. ''They are hatching'' Saphira's eyes widened as soon as she heard what Infernal said. She got up, as quick as the speed of light and ran over to the nest, Infernal following. The egg by this time had fully cracked, and the top half was moved off, allowing Saphira and Infernal to get a good look at their hatchling. It was a lovely Female Electricity Dragon, very clear to recognize by the little lighting bolt marking on its back. Saphira picked the little dragon up and nuzzled it affectionetly, the hatchling let out a small burp. Infernal looked at his daughter with a smile, proud to be the father of it. Meanwhile during this emotional time, being unoticed the other 3 eggs had started to hatch. Saphira didnt notice until she handed her newly born daughter over to Infernal. The green egg had rolled out of the nest for some reason and dropped onto the cold ground. Saphira quickly picked it up and cracked the top of the shell allowing the small creature to get its first gulp of air and to look upon his parents. The blue egg managed to crack its way out of the egg by itself, and just lay in the nst waiting for his parents to notice. But for some reason the last of their eggs, the red egg hadnt hatched yet, although a crack could clearly be seen, but no movement after that. Saphira picked up her hatchlings and put them on her bed, while Infernal just stood looking at the remaining egg. His heart was made up of mixed feelings, both delight, joy but the other half of dissapointment and sadness. He nudged the egg hoping for a little movement, Saphira looked over and drooped her head, she knew her child was gone. Infernal picked up the egg and carried it over to the well outside, he knew this was going to be difficult. But just as soon as he raised his paw holding the egg. The top of it had fallen off and inside the egg revealed a radiant and beautifull little male fire dragon. He gave a little high pitched cough and looked at his relieved father. Infernal took his son out of the egg and held him close and tight. He walked back into the hut proudly holding his newly born miracle son.
Saphira was lying beside her hatchlings and was greatly relieved when she saw Infernal walking back into the hut holding a dragon. Infernal lay the little dragon down beside his brothers and sister, looking at Saphira. A dragon of each element had been born an electricity dragon, an earth dragon, an ice dragona dn of the course a fire dragon. ''What do you think we should call them?'' Saphira asked smiling. Infernal took a look at each of them, thinking of a unique name for each of them.
''you pick'' suggested saphira. ''i cant think''
Infernal looked at the yellow hatchling, and it looked back a him. ''Trina'' he said smiling. He walked over to the green dragon.
''hmmmm, tricky one'' he thought. ''what about.......Terrence? or Terry for short?'' It was also trouble for him thinking up names, but he knew he had to, he glanced at the blue hatchling. ''Cylon'' he smiled. Then last but not least he glanced at the lucky dragon, who he held in his hand during its birth. ''Comet'' he smiled.He picked it up and nuzzled it, it seemed he had a special connection with this dragon for some reason, although he did love the others equally. Infernal walked back over to Saphira holding Comet, Trina, Terry and Cylon in his arms. They looked at their children proudly.
''Thos are lovely names'' commented Saphira.
