Aria and Jade's Rocky Start; The history between Jade and Aria

The Hatching was about to begin, the dozen Candidates for the Queen were lined up in a row along the side of the cave. The male candidates were by the other eggs, but Aria only knew her job, to make the Queen's Candidates happy and ready. As she stocked bandages and brought water and treats over to the girls, she recognized one from earlier in the week...what was her name, Aria couldn't remember. "Excuse me, miss, I seem to have forgotten your name, I do apologize." Aria said softly, bowing her head in remorse. She was here to be a helper to those, not a Candidate herself, so she was on a lower ranking than most here. Not a dragonrider, not a Candidate, just a lowly staff/healer.

She glanced around the sands, at Shadanth, the mighty dragon simply watched her, Aria wondered if the old queen could hear her thoughts. How weird would that be? She sighed and turned back to the girl, offering her water and waiting for the answer.

Jade stood there bored, thinking about how much longer she had to wait. Jade was wishing she could go fishing like she normally would be doing right now. She then heard the girl next to her that was just about her age, maybe a little younger and smiled, taking some water and some of the goodies she offered. "My name is Jade and yours is Aria correct?"

Aria blushed softly, "Yes, miss Jade." She glanced back at the gold egg, "You are lucky to be a Candidate, this is Shadanth's first queen in many clutches, from what I've heard below." She sighed, thinking upon her denied request since so many Candidates had already been found. by the time she had gotten the nerve to ask.

Jade saw Aria looking wistfully at the egg. "Maybe someday you will get your chance," she said, "You know what, why dont you stand behind me when the eggs start hatching? This way you can get a first hand look at the hatching. Just keep serving then as soon as they start hatching, quickly get behind me and no one will notice you in the excitement."

Aria looked up at Jade, "Really? That would be most kind..." She paused thinking about it, "I'll go hand out treats to the rest of the girls, and waters. Last time we had a Queen egg, I hear two of the Candidates fainted, that's why they sent me up here." She let the gossip out to Jade, and then ran back to the far end of the sands to go gather more waters and treats.

Jade saw her run off and start handing out snacks and water to the candidates while sat there thinking about what Aria's back story was. The next thing she knew, eggs start wobbling and a silence fell over the Hatching grounds. She saw Aria just freeze and whispered for her to come over. The other eggs started to crack, hatchlings fell out and started to look for their other half.

Aria hurriedly slipped behind Jade, whispering a quick, "Good luck!" to her through the noise and excitement. Peeking over her shoulder she watched as the Queen egg started cracking, and then a nose popped out, forcing away the prison of its body, and tumbling into the sands. She was such a cute, awkward little baby, and then she looked around at the Candidates. When she started running towards Jade, Aria got excited, her new friend would be staying with them at Bendan! She was pleased to have a friend who was such a lucky person, and not just one of the kitchen staff.

Jade saw the Queen egg finally hatching and her body started to tingle with excitement. The little queen came out of her shell and started wobbling around and finally heading towards her. Jade was so excited to see the queen, thinking that she was meant for her. Alas, it was not to be. The Queen went around Jade and straight into Aria's legs. Happy for her new friend, but disappointed that she wasnt picked, Jade turned around and smiled at Aria, so happy for her.

Aria looked down at the little dragonet, who was weaving herself in between Aria's legs, then glanced up at Jade, "I'm so sorry...I never thought..." Aria wore a sad face, and was about to start crying out of wounding her new friend's feelings, but then the little dragonet looked up at her, questioningly and announcing itself while asking why her rider was saddened. Aria held her hand out for Jade, half expecting a rejection, but hoping there wouldn't be one.

Jade heard Aria and saw her stick out her hand. "Don't worry, Aria, there is nothing you can do to stop a hatchling from making their choice." Jade then put her hand in Aria's knowing no matter what, they would be fast friends forever.
