[Creatures of Nature - 5th Period, 8/06]

[whathasbeenlost.livejournal.com]

When the class had filed into the room, D had several tables, each laid out with an egg, each one in a box and swaddled in a blanket for warmth. The room itself, in fact, was overly warm as well, though it didn't seem to bother D any.

"Today we will be looking at dragons," he said. "Or, more correctly, we will be looking at several types of creature which are likely to be called 'dragon', though the name may not be wholly correct in each instance.

"For this exercise, you will split into groups, each with an egg, and then deduce which type of 'dragon' comes out of it." D gestured to where each table had a stack of books on it. "Those will help you to figure it out, as long as you look carefully. Please be very gentle, but know that dragons, even small ones, can bite."

[OOC: Split up into groups of three, if you please. The egg will begin to hatch as soon as someone touches them and each comment will give a clue as to what type it is. OCD is coming up.

ETA: Commuting home now, will respond to tags ASAP upon getting home. HOME NOW.]

Isabel was proud of herself for not facepalming or headdesking given her own almost forced marriage to Kivar. "Happily ever after is good."

"I don't know. But I'd watch your fingers."

Troy nodded. "Good advice!" He grinned. "I guess now we wait?"

The egg shivered and wobbled slightly at being touched, the golden color of the egg seeming to glow a little.

She was tempted to touch it, but pulled her hand back. It was a dragon after all. "Looks like it'll be a short wait."

Troy was enraptured by the moving egg. "It's glowing!" he said. "Look! A little bit, anyway."

The egg twitched and spun in place slightly, glowing a little more brightly as something inside it twitched and pushed at the shell, breaking it in pieces, but not yet shattering it.
