I tapped at the eggshell with my little dragonet claws. I could feel my sister's presence, though I did not yet know she was my sister. She was just another dragonet who happened to be hatching on the same day as me.
The eyes watching me were not unfriendly. They gazed down with expressions full of love and hope and joy. I wanted to run into their wings. Though I did not yet understand the words the adult dragons were saying in their hushed voices, I could pick up the general message.
It was the youngest of the three watching dragons, apart from my sister and I, who spoke first. ❝Should we help him?❞ whispered the small dragoness. I could not tell this at the time, of course, but I would later learn that her name was Roach, and she, too, was my sister, hatched around two years before my life began. ❝He looks like he's struggling, Mother.❞
This time the adult female replied. I knew from the tone of her voice and the way she looked at us that she was the ❝Mother❞ my sister referred to. She shook her head. ❝No, sweetheart,❞ she told my big sister. ❝Your father and I have done this before, you know. All eggs hatch in their own time.❞
And my time is now! I decided. My claws scraped at the inside of my egg once more. Father's eyes widened and when I shook the last piece of eggshell off my snout, his warm gaze was right there to meet me.
My older sister gave a little chuckle. ❝He looks kind of like that spider we saw the other day, doesn't he, Mother?❞
Mother nodded, her eyes shining. ❝We'll call him Tarantula,❞ she decided. Father didn't complain, and she seemed relieved. ❝You can name the other one,❞ she said to him.
Father smiled. ❝Thanks, Sandy,❞ he said affectionately, brushing his wing against hers. ❝What do you think about Vespa for this little one?❞
My mother's eyes were filled with energy. ❝I love it,❞ she murmured, resting her head on my father's shoulder. Big Sister pulled Vespa and I closer to the family, and I felt warm in their wings.
