       Elask looked down at the egg in front of her. This was.. a tough
       one. She had been on the fence trying to decide who could
       really... handle this baby. Nudging the egg forward, she gazed
       over the group left before her then turned towards Diarmid and
       rolled the egg over to him.
       " Good luck.. you gonna need it." She said, chuckling to
       herself. Farenth help this handler.
       Before the egg fully got to Diarmid, it burst in a shower of egg
       shell and goo.

       A blue!
       The wher looked at his future handler with suspicion but did not
       move... staying in place almost.. stubbornly.

       Whercandidate Jamie
       No...! No...! Am I too late?!? Will Elask still consider me...?
       Did I ruin it...?
       Jamie had accidentally - purely by accident, the poor thing was
       in tears now as a result - missed Elask's call to be present for
       the hatching. Hastily getting dressed - but still careful to
       look presentable enough - she all but flew from her chambers,
       tearing through the night and to the wher dens. She hastily
       dried her eyes - Faranth help her if Elask saw her crying - and
       dipped her head politely to the clutchmother.
       "Elask, I am so sorry for being so late...! I wasn't trying to
       miss your call, I can assure you of that...! Please forgive
       me...!" The lass pleaded, her short dark hair just a bit
       windswept from her mad dash to the dens, but it was... oddly
       enough, attractive. Pretty.
       "It was an accident, I was sleeping... I'd stayed up all night
       because I was too excited... I'm so very sorry..." Jamie
       continued to apologize, feeling tears well up as she heard a
       snort from the sire of the clutch, Karask. Clearly, he was
       annoyed and disappointed by her absence.
       Looking around at the chosen handlers, the poor lass felt her
       hopes waver. Zakaria, Diarmid, Diaval, and Aylee had all been
       chosen. Fine handlers, the whole lot of them... would she have
       her turn? Or was she too late? A failure, that's what I am...
       She thought to herself, her heart in her throat.

       Wherhandler Diarmid of Bronze Diarsk - Open, Reacting & IW Midsk
       He was hopeful for a moment as Elask's gaze moved towards him,
       but it seemed as though that egg in particular was not meant for
       him. Instead, the night-painted shell was rolled over towards
       Diaval, another wherhandler, and from the shell hatched out a
       lovely little green. Once more he offered his congratulations to
       the pair before he again waited to see what Elask would do.
       Diarmid was honestly prepared to go through a few clutches more
       until an egg would be chosen for him. It happened before with
       Diarsk. Elask, however, apparently had saved a particular egg
       for him. Her wishes of luck as she rolled the egg could only
       mean one thing; another challenging wher for him to work with
       and train.
       That point was made even more clear when the egg burst open and
       a stubborn yet utterly beautiful blue was left a small distance
       from him. He for a moment thought he might come closer, but
       rather the little dear looked at him with suspicion and stayed
       where he was. Well, as cute as that was, Diarmid couldn't just
       let him have his way. The handler made an odd sort of compromise
       in return, shifting to pick up the blue wherlet before moving
       back to his spot and setting the surprisingly long wherlet back
       down gingerly. Diarmid really didn't want to just give in to the
       stubbornness, even if it meant making him not so happy.
       Structure was important!
       Diarmid then took the blade offered to him and sliced a small
       cut into his left hand before placing it on the forehead of the
       small wherlet. He shifted to then let the blue lick the blood
       from his hand and immediately he could feel that weird, cold
       sensation coming off from such a tiny thing.
       "Why aren't you just a hidden gem? Don't worry, Elask, I'll look
       after him. Can't be any more stubborn than Diarsk as a wherlet!"
       He spoke to both the new wherlet and Elask. He was grateful that
       they thought he would be a good fit and he wouldn't let the
       clutchmother down.
       "Diarsk right here! Can hear that!" The bronze commented to his
       handler, face scrunched into a huff as he watched Diarmid and
       this new addition.
       A short chuckle left the handler as he moved to gently pat the
       top of the blue's head, ignoring his other wher's words for now.
       "We'll have fun, small darling. Me and Diarsk will look after
       ya. It'll be fun." He assured softly.
       "... Midsk... accepts this..." The blue finally spoke with an
       oddly deep sound for a wherlet. Strange, yet matching with
       Diarmid's own deeper voice and the cool, business tone was a fun
       mix-up from the temperamental sound of Diarsk. Yes, the
       wherhandler could make this work.

       Elask looked up as the candidate came racing in. Late.. hmm. She
       then looked down at the Lone Grove egg that seemed to not be
       cracking yet.. and huffed slightly. Her answer was a slight
       wiggle from it but it was soon forgotten by the loud splintering
       of the  New Day egg. It seemed this wherlet was just tired of
       waiting. A snort of amusement came from Elask and she looked
       towards someone.. the right someone. This would be good.
       " I hope you well rested for this.. you gonna need it." She said
       as she rolled the egg to Jamie and it hatched in an explosion of
       eggshell and goo.

       A bronze... a female bronze!
       The wherlet then took off at a fully run, making little yipping
       sounds until she skidded to a halt.. right into Jamie's legs.
       She seemed stunned but then looked up at the human she ran into,
       her tail swishing like a hyper canine.. how odd.

       Songs of the Seasons [Hatching]

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Diaval of Brown Valsk and Green Diask - she?
       Diaval jolted from his thoughts once again as he saw an egg
       rolled before him, shifting his gaze to Elask. "Me?" he asked,
       eyes wide in surprise. But Elask had decided: this egg and its
       occupant was for Diaval. Swallowing down his fear and
       uncertainty, he crouched before the egg as it wobbled and split,
       praying to Faranth that Valsk wouldn't charge in and trample
       someone in his excitement. Keeping a firm mental hold on Valsk
       to keep him in his place, Diaval's breath left him in a gasp as
       the egg revealed a gorgeous little green, as green as pale as
       mint and just as sweet.
       But as she reached out to him, apologized for keeping him
       waiting, and told him not to be afraid, Diaval began to cry.
       Accepting a belt knife to cement the bond, Diaval made a small
       cut in his palm, but hesitated before he could press it to the
       green's head. About to rise and ask Elask once again that she
       was certain he - some aging wherhandler from a distant Northern
       Hold - was her choice for her daughter, the green rose and
       pressed her own head against his hand, stealing from Diaval his
       breath, his words, and his heart. But how could Diask steal what
       was given willingly? Turning her gaze to her new handler, she
       gazed at him quietly as the bond between them meshed them
       together, as well as molded to fit with Valsk's large presence.
       At last, Diask had settled into a place in Diaval's mind that
       awaited her for so long, even as Diaval himself hadn't known
       what he'd been missing.
       At last, Diaval rose to his feet, Diask held close in his arms
       as he turned from the eggs and toward waiting bowls to feed his
       wherlet. It was here that Valsk nudged and shouldered his way
       in, intent to see the newest member to his small family. As
       Diask stretched her short neck out to sniff at the bowl that
       Diaval set before her, Valsk pressed forward to see her.
       Distracted from her hunger for a moment, brown and green
       familiarized each other, Valsk's huge tail thumping rhythmically
       against the floor in his excitement. Valsk greets little Diask!
       he boomed. Am Valsk. Most pleased to meet young one! Diask,
       Diask responded, eyes warm. Diask not intrude, no?
       Never! Valsk cried, as Diaval reassured her "Not at all." Diask
       seemed relieved, almost. Good, she added as she turned and began
       to eat, finding herself rather hungry after emerging from her
       egg. Valsk planted his rear on the floor, intent on staying
       right there with his littlest companion until she was satisfied.
       Diaval, for the first time in ages...felt almost whole, one hand
       on each wher he called bonded.
       [hr]
       Whercandidate Mackenzie
       "Oh, no! Oh, no! I'm late!"
       Mackenzie made great haste to Elask's quarters, his short blonde
       hair still dripping wet from a hurried bath, hauling a
       nice-looking sweater over his shoulders. Was he too late? Were
       all the eggs gone? Served him right, for getting so caught up in
       his thoughts that he didn't even register Elask's summons.
       Smacking himself internally, Mackenzie skidded to a halt just
       outside Elask's quarters. Seeing such a large crowd beginning to
       disperse, his heart sank...but he padded into the room
       regardless. One egg... At least, Mackenzie could watch the last
       egg get matched out. Biting his lip, he crept into the room,
       standing in a far corner and withdrawing his prized sketchbook
       to begin sketching. Yes, he might've missed all the previous
       Impressions...but at least he'd capture this final one upon
       paper.

       While Amisk ran about like a startled pack animal, the Lone
       Grove egg quietly began to split and Elask looked to what was
       left of the group.. who would she deem worthy?
       Reacting to the outburst of another late candidate, Elask
       snorted then rolled the egg towards Mackenzie. " You late.. so..
       you will be getting this baby. Good luck.. you will need it."
       She said as the egg bumped his leg and split open.

       Another blue!
       The wherlet looked up at Mackenzie... and promptly seized his
       sleeve in their teeth.

       WherHANDLER Jamie of Bronze AMISK - A FEMALE BRONZE?!?!?!?
       Jamie was left in complete shock. Before her, butting into her
       legs, was... a bronze. A beautiful little bronze wherlet...
       A beautiful, FEMALE bronze wherlet.
       The world around her seemed to freeze. She wasn't even aware of
       the others bonding with their partners. All she could see was
       the little bronze before her eyes, zipping around and making the
       cutest little barking sounds. She couldn't be bothered to sit
       still, but Jamie figured she'd try to get her to, anyway.
       "Hey! Come here, now! I need you to hold still!"
       Not want sit still! Want go! Go! The wherlet retorted playfully,
       her voice musical to the lass' ears.
       "Sit still for just a moment, and then we can go. We have to
       bond first."
       Taking the knife that was offered, she sliced her palm open, the
       blade slipping and cutting a bit deeper than she'd wanted. A
       yelp escaped her, but it was short-lived as the wherlet lapped
       at the wound and nudged her hand so that it rested atop her flat
       forehead.
       No hurt now. We go! Am Amisk! You, Jamie, mine! Go! We go
       together! Run fast, run far, run strong! Never stop going! Chase
       sun! Race stars! You and Amisk! Forever!
