EGG
Faded Trackmarks Egg
Average in size and average in shape, this egg is creamy-pale in hue, altogether uninteresting save for the detailed markings that seem to march in unison across the shallow curve of the shell. The first set, the most prominent, seem much like a solid band: a swathe of slightly darker cream that runs from top to bottom, then around and up again, made up of tiny shapes like trackmarks. The other set is more rope-like in design, an intricate weave of fine brown lines, running parallel to the larger band until even they disappear at last.

Inspiration: Right in the middle of the elementary school I attended for a few years, there was a tree. And while there were many trees in this school (it was built on a farm, with acres of land to go with it), this one was special: it was the tire-swing tree. So this egg is inspired by that tree, and by tire-swings in general.

DESCRIPTION
Rich, coppery bronze washes over this small dragon’s neatly apportioned form. Compact of build, his body seems to flow in a smooth line from headknobs all the way out to the tip of his tail, like the single stroke of ink and brush to draw an intricate calligraphic symbol. As unbroken as the lines of his musculature may otherwise seem, his hide’s coloration is not so seamless, with darker pools of russet gathering along his head and stretching down his neck, only to give way to pale licks of flame along trunk and limbs. The sweep of his wings bears a darker shade of burnished copper that is echoed in the curve of gleaming talons infused with smoke and an odd, single dot of charcoal on his right ankle.

PERSONALITY (Notes)
Bright, talktative, friendly, energetic, bouncy, cheerful, to the point of being overwhelming to a shy, withdrawn rider.

INSPIRATION
The magpie, bold and sociable and specifically the old nursery rhyme/superstition wherein magpies are counted and a certain number of them have meaning for the person’s life. Agrith’s line is number two, ‘two for joy’.
