Candidates! This will be your only chance to meet the Eggs before the Hatching, and it will be a brief encounter only! The twin Queens are agitated enough sharing their Sands with each other's Clutches, without the added stress of children running amok amongst their eggs. So step lightly and be careful not to incur their wrath. Already, the air is full of the sounds of hissing, as the two Queens ward each other off. Enjoy the eggs, but be cautious!
DEEP OCEAN CLUTCH
Swiftly Swimming Egg - This massive egg rests near the back of the Clutch, setting a stunning backdrop for the rest of the eggs with its vivid blue and yellow patterns. It has a watchful air to it, as if it is the guardian of its Clutchsiblings, and there is a quiet threat in its emotions for any who think to try something stupid. This egg is bold but lacks bravado, a strong and commanding presence without the need for showing off. It knows that everyone can't help but notice it, and this is only right.
Branching Reef Egg - Unlike its far larger sibling right beside it, the Swiftly Swimming Egg, the Branching Reef Egg is not a powerful presence in the slightest. Its position at the back of the Clutch seems more fitting for one attempting to hide behind a crowd. Its feelings are mixed, though a dominant emotion is a certainty in its own significance, for it believes that it lacks the qualities of its Clutchsiblings that make them all so wonderful. This is the contradictory thing about this Egg, for its shell is actually quite stunning and may be the most beautiful in its Clutch. Don't try telling that to this Egg, though, for it won't believe a word of it. It seems determined to doubt its own worth.
Deceptive Calm Egg - Sliced in half, with a deep blue at its lower end and pale blue washed with white near the top, this medium-sized Egg is interesting to look upon but rather dangerous to view up close. Those approaching it would feel a strange calm flooding their minds, and it seems to be quite a pleasantly lethargic feeling, until one gets too close, that is. Suddenly, the storm breaks loose, and the Egg unleashes its fury and outrage that any should dare to come so near to it. It is powerful, confident, and headstrong. This Egg will bow to no one's wishes, and it throws up a wall of emotion to guard against its fear of this happening!
Long Dive Egg - The Long Dive Egg is of medium size, but one of the more attractive, drawing eggs. It seems to be fickle, with a darting impatience and humor that seems to not be able to focus in one general direction. The egg is slightly confusing, for to some of the candidates it will swarm around with a cool touch – to others it seems to be this big cloud of anger and threatening fear that pushes them away. Some swear that if you look at it out of the corner of your eye, the black slashes on it seem to move.
Gentle Ripples Egg - This egg is the darkest on the sands, and from a broad over view seems to be the gloomiest. But as you walk closer to it, you realize it isn’t gloomy – it’s just there. It gives off the feeling of cool relaxing air and swaying lips of water that brush up against your bare feet, just lipping the toes and giving you a sense of security. It isn’t a bold egg, nor does it yell and draw attention – but those that find it see the hidden treasure.
Rushing Current Egg - All day and night, this large Egg seems to hum with energy. Never taking a break, never slowing, it releases a steady flow of power and strength. Its call is intoxicating, and those who approach are very much in danger of being swept away by it. This Egg exudes an aura of wisdom; it would never jump rashly into anything, nor do its emotions change rapidly like some of its fellows. The Rushing Current Egg is patient yet determined, as if a long journey awaits, and it is not at all perturbed by the distance or time required.
Stormy Sea Egg - This egg is one of the smaller eggs in the clutch – however, despite its size the egg seems to take hostility to the next level. The blue has been touched with white all over, and seems to be very rough, although the touch is much smoother than you would think. The egg gives off the air of untapped power, wary of people and ready to open up thunder and rain on your head if you tick it off.
Foaming Shores Egg - The Foaming Shores Egg is a smaller egg, and decidedly cheerful. It is a happy little guy that just wants to be friends and welcomes any and all to it’s embrace. Cooler to the touch, it likes making people feel good and is anxious to accept anyone into it’s embrace, not caring about what may have happened in a past. It’s just a happy little guy who wants everyone to feel good, and that’s what it does, soaking over the person touching it with a soothing motion.
Tidal Pool Egg - One of the larger eggs in its Clutch, the Tidal Pool Egg has an intriguing feel to it, and viewers can't help but be drawn to investigate it. Its quiet yet strong presence seems to be hiding something both mysterious and exciting, and one can't help but search for the secret of this Egg. It can be cool and slightly vicious, while other times warm and inviting, but the Egg generally favours attention.
Wave Dancing Egg - This Egg is a free spirit. Large and carefree, one might almost expect it to start wiggling around on the spot, moving to its own beat. If someone approaches even closer and places a hand on its prettily striped shell, they would feel it humming with repressed excitement and energy. Unlike those small eggs who try to act big, this Egg almost wishes it lacked the bulkiness of its size. It wishes to be graceful and fluid. Despite this and its knowledge that it may appear gawky to some, this Egg cannot be restrained!
Rising Tide Egg - Like a slow and unstoppable force, this Egg's emotions sweep through everyone who even steps onto the Sands. It is an average-sized Egg with bland colouring, but it makes sure that it doesn't get lost in the crowd. Its touch is beckoning, pulling others towards it with warmth and invitation. Other times, however, it seems to be pushing away, for it likes its distance, too. Not wanting to be the centre of attention, this Egg still wants to be noticed. It can be quite selective, drawing some and rejecting others, but it still needs someone to be with it.
Breaking Surf Egg - Small and shy, the Breaking Surf Egg sparks everyone's curiousity. One can't help but approach this Egg, quietly and gently of course, only to find oneself tackled by an excited bubbly welcome. It's almost like this Egg is playing hide and seek, quiet and reclusive at one moment and then popping out with a blast of warm emotions to surprise everyone. It is innocent and lacks all traces of malevolence, for everyone in the world must be its friend.
WINDY DESERT CLUTCH
Barren Earth Egg - This average-sized Egg has a great thirst in its questing touch. It reaches out to everyone who passes near, running its thoughts over them as if searching for something. Its thoughts seem slightly desperate, as if it is parched and lacking something it needs. Thus, it takes what it can from everyone, for it never seems enough to fill the void. Love, affirmation, assurance of its worth; this Egg needs all of it. Its touch is not gentle, though; it almost seems greedy as it takes these things. However, this may simply be a reflection of its great need and not a demanding attitude.
Desert Flower Egg - Set slightly apart from the rest, this large, colorful egg is certainly an eye-catcher. It is perfectly inviting to all, although it seems to be too dignified to actively try to draw the attention of those visiting. It has a strong presence, noticeable presence without being obnoxious, and when one draws close, it seems sweet and glad of the company. Nice as it is to everyone, it is hard to tell who, if any, it prefers, but with its sweet aura and lovely shell, it is truly a gem of the clutch.
Desert Sunset Egg - Although small, this Egg is radiantly beautiful. Rich reds and oranges dust its shell, creating a perfect blend that isn't chaotic or too bold. This Egg knows how attractive it is, and it basks in the attention it gets. However, it doesn't simply take from those who approach, it also gives back. Warm emotions seep into those nearby, and this Egg especially loves finding someone who needs its help. If anyone it senses is feeling sad or lonely, this Egg will shine even more brightly with a warm glow to cheer them up.
Rising Thermals Egg - Those that wander near this fairly large egg will feel the effects of its emotions almost instantly. Hope and purpose seem to rush from it, washing over the viewer with a gust of warm confidence. It thrusts its feelings at the world with eager interest, curious and ready to face the challenges life has to offer. It seems to accept that there will be lows now and then, but ultimately strives to move past the bad, and encourages others to do the same.
Rolling Dunes Egg - One of the darkest eggs in the Clutch, the Rolling Dunes Egg does not invite visitors. It is standoffish but not aggressive, so, at the very least, it does not attack those who come near. It simply prefers to brood in isolation. If this Egg had its way, it would not be surrounded by Clutchsiblings as it is, but it seems more pouty about this inconvenience than angry. The barrier it has up against the approach of others may be interpreted as haughtiness or protection from the chance of getting hurt, but one will never know unless it decides to share!
Serene Oasis Egg - Off to the side as it is, the Serene Oasis Egg appears to watch silently after its siblings, it never intrudes but neither does it seem removed. Certainly, it does not bear the often commanding presence of many of its clutch yet one will be surprised to notice that its quiet purpose has been present since one steps foot on the sands. Those approaching it will be encased by peaceful, patient emotions, often blocking out the chaos of the other feelings around it. This egg is in no hurry to draw attention away from the other eggs, but its calm, sure serenity seems to speak for itself.
Shady Evening Egg - While easy to miss among the surrounding labyrinth of its clutchsiblings, the Shady Evening Egg provides a calm respite from the sometimes turbulent emotions of those around it. It is smaller than the others and has a far less powerful aura, at least, from a distance; and one is unlikely to notice anything at all from it until they are close enough to touch the shell. Then, it exudes a tranquil, softly inviting air, as though welcoming one to sit beside the lovely, blue and green striped shell for a while.
Stone Sentinel Egg - Standing at the outskirts of the clutch, this egg is set a bit apart from even those closest to it. It hardly seems aware that the other eggs exist at all; rather, it almost seems to be watching the rest of the hatching sands, in a quiet, unending vigil. One can feel this egg’s influence from a surprising distance, although it isn’t always noticeable at first. Just the quiet, uneasy sensation of being watched, and the feeling gets stronger the closer one goes to the Stone Sentinel Egg. However, when one touches the egg, any sort of aura disappears from the egg entirely. Is it playing dead, or just totally uninterested once it knows what something is? There is no way to tell for sure.
Endless Sands Egg - Although this egg is one of the larger ones in its clutch, it doesn’t appear to occupy much attention. When one gets near it, the emotions of the Endless Sands Egg seem distracted and dethatched, as though it is dazedly focused above the viewer’s shoulder into the vastness of the universe. This emotional presence can be almost disturbing, as it feels preoccupied with its tiny place in the world. When someone is, however, able to catch this egg’s notice, it seems to jump suddenly to attention, as though startled from a dream or guiltily caught in the act of nodding off.
Cracked Soil Egg - The combination of its smaller size and unremarkable shell make the Cracked Soil Egg easy to pass over. This is made even easier by the timid, ‘please don’t notice me’ aura it projects. It almost seems to cling to the Rolling Dunes Egg it rests against, as though looking to the larger egg for protection. If anyone does approach it, fear will be its dominant response, although patience and persistence with this egg is rewarded. It can acclimate to someone if given time and encouragement, and be quite happy for the person’s company, but this egg’s trust is difficult indeed to win over.
Seething Sands Egg - Easily among the largest of the clutch, the Seething Sands Egg demands to be noticed. It does not, however, seem to want to be disturbed. It fends off potential examiners with a flurry of angry, volatile emotions, which only increase in intensity if someone actually dares to go near this proud behemoth. However, there is the possibility that such courage will be appreciated by this egg, and the anger may quell, leaving a hint of smug toleration. With this egg, it really is calmer at the eye of the storm.
Sleeping Serpent Egg - Near the edge of the clutch, but tucked safely back behind the Stone Sentinel and Shining Mirage Eggs, this mid-sized egg seems perfectly content with its location. Close enough to the center to be safe, yet far enough away that it can enjoy the quiet, the egg seems to slumber on in peace and contentment. It does seem to notice when it is approached, although any interested candidate receives no more than a languid, cursory glance before being totally ignored. Is it simply lazy, or is there a ripple of danger in its aura as it bides its time until hatching day? With this difficult to read egg, it is anyone’s guess.
Shining Mirage Egg - The Shining Mirage Egg’s bright yellow shell serves as a beacon to anyone around the eggs, loudly drawing all toward it and basking in the attention. However, once one is closer, it becomes more coy than exuberant, making one wonder whether the powerful aura really was emanating from this egg. Its shell, however, still makes an interesting study, although after staring at the bright, swirling yellow for too long, one might find that they see something else in the egg…but it will likely be gone on a second observation.
Dry Mountain Egg - At the back of the clutch, this egg’s size and striking coloring may attract much attention to it, but those who get close may be disappointed by the cold welcome they get. This egg is haughty and indifferent to those around it, treating every visitor with equal disdain. However, the power and strength of the occupant is clear, which will be enough to draw the more ambitious candidates regardless of the cold shoulder the egg so regularly distributes.
Prickly Guardian Egg - At first glance this egg appears to ward off those who try to get near. Although this initial encounter may seem aggressive however, a closer look would reveal that this egg is not nearly as bristled as it comes across. Indeed, as soon as one shows interest this little guardian is quick to draw the looker in, wrapping one in its careful protective feelings, valiantly fending off those bearing ill-will towards its charges. For all its silent determination it does not seem to bear hostility towards any unless given a reason to first, in which case it wastes no time in bearing its emotional fangs.
Branching Reef Egg - Unlike its far larger sibling right beside it, the Swiftly Swimming Egg, the Branching Reef Egg is not a powerful presence in the slightest. Its position at the back of the Clutch seems more fitting for one attempting to hide behind a crowd. Its feelings are mixed, though a dominant emotion is a certainty in its own significance, for it believes that it lacks the qualities of its Clutchsiblings that make them all so wonderful. This is the contradictory thing about this Egg, for its shell is actually quite stunning and may be the most beautiful in its Clutch.
