That night they ate their food and fell asleep on the pile of hay ashes as they always did, but something else happened while they were sleeping. Something that brightened the world and their lives, for that something would be destined with a life of sorrow, misfortune, adventure, life, death, and greatness. One of the three eggs shook bumping into the others. The bright blue egg rolled over, out of the nest and onto the cave floor. It cracked. The crack ran along the side of the egg slowly and gradually becoming bigger and bigger until it covered the entire egg, then the egg burst. Out came a tiny dark blue dragon,but the strange thing was that it's wings and legs were dark green and it had golden eyes. Its nest mates hatching soon after. Of the others were a light grey dragon with red eyes and a silver dragon with green eyes. All three of them wobbled over to their parents and started nibbling on various parts of their face and neck. Firetallon was the first to wake up. He opened one eye startled, then he saw the hatchlings. He shook Diamond with his tail careful not to make any noises. She sleepily opened one eye and looked at him. He motioned with his head at them and she looked at him full of pride. They slowly sat up and Diamond grabbed the newborns, then she noticed the spike on the blue and green one's crest. "The first hatched," Firetallon chuckled "She's a lucky one, I know it."

"What shall we name them?" Diamond asked, affection in her voice.

"The red one, Torcher. The grey one, Stormyheart. The blue one...." He trailed off. "You should name her," he suggested to Diamond.
"Let's name her Skye," she said.
