As the sun rose over Fort Weyr this summer morning, there was a surprise on the Sands: six bright and variant eggs, a veritable garden of color, along with an exhausted queen dragon and a Weyrwoman who had literally fallen asleep against her lifemate's snout.

Kouzevelth clutched slowly and fussily all night, but she and Velokraeth have produced six healthy eggs as deemed by Fort's dragonhealers. Between Inri's uncharacteristic tiredness and Kouzevelth's work overnight, there's not a celebration just yet — but Fort's Weyrwoman insists that there will be a party soon … and she seems to have the entire upper echelon of Haast Wing coming on and off the sands for discussion.

The galleries are open for a few people at a time to come take a look at the gorgeous eggs, and within a few days will be open to all.
