#Greenclutches

[rjalker]

okay this is the last version of this post for today because tumblr keeps sabatoguing me.

The numbers for dragon nests and stuff from greens and queens so far in Dragon's Time and Sky Dragons.

I had a lot more data the first and second times I made this post.

--Oh. Oh are we doing this now tumblr. Now you're gonna automatically indent pasted text? Really? After making me manually indent the quotes on the first two versions of this post??? Really??!?!??! So now I have to manually un-indent the non book quotes?!?!?!?

ughhh...

___

tumblr kept sabatoguing me and now I'm too lazy to scour the books for a third time today.

(This is about the first communal nest in Dragon's Time)

Only twenty-three of the two hundred and fifty three eggs had hatched; the rest had been ruptured, their contents devoured by tunnel snakes burrowing up from the ground.

- (Time skip back in time again, just a few people on their own with only a few adult dragons and babies from the above nest)

“And Coranth just rose …,” K’dan continued.

“Do you think the greens that went back with Fiona might have risen, too?” Xhinna asked, her eyes wide.

“Or they’re about to,” he said.

“There were thirty-six greens in the last clutch,” Taria remarked.

“And if they clutched like the others, then there’d be sixteen eggs, more or less, in each clutch,” Xhinna said.

“And then we’d have five hundred and seventy-six fighting dragons,” Bekka breathed in awe.

“Five hundred and seventy-six dragonets,” K’dan reminded her.

-

"Eighteen!” Taria said proudly, glancing toward her proud but exhausted green.

“Talenth only had three more when she first clutched!” Xhinna told her.

-

(after the above nest and other stuff happened. This is Kisorth's first clutch now that she's old enough to rise)

"Perhaps," X'lerin said. "But we've fourteen fit dragons and fifteen healthy eggs."

- (another time skip or whatever, after the rest of the formerly-baby dragons rise)

"Who ever thought we’d have all five queens and four greens ready to clutch at the same time?”

-

[something about ten clutches, I can't find the quote now. These people are very bad at math.]

-

“Six queens, four greens; how many Candidates will we need?” T’mar said again. “And where will you find them?”

-

“Queens—and greens, probably—rise twice a Turn in a Pass,”

-

(This is the random two year time-skip)

"I still can’t believe it,” Fiona said as Xhinna moved up beside her. Xhinna followed her gaze and nodded in mute agreement.

From where they stood, staring down the length of the coast, there was nothing for two kilometers but dragons, riders … and dragon eggs.

The midday heat baked the sand and blurred the farthest images, but Xhinna knew that there were more than ninety eggs ready to hatch in the next sevenday or less.

Around and over them a full Flight of dragons frolicked—three wings of thirty dragons each. And that was only the Rest Day Flight. Two other Flights were engaged in various activities: hunting, working, providing for the whole of Sky Weyr.

That industry in nearly the same numbers was repeated no less than five more times across the width and breadth of the Western Isle.

“Two thousand fighting dragons,” Fiona said to herself, reaching to grab Xhinna’s hand. “And no one in our time knows about it.”

Okay the greenclutch story needs...more build-up at the beginning, WAY more stuff in the last quarter(ish?) of the story, and some re-finagling of a few things in the middle. Okay. I should probably make a dedicated timeline document for just this fic instead of the entire chronicle, and focus on fleshing out the ending before tackling the beginning again. Gotta touch on more of the out-Weyr situation.

Eight Months Later

Xhinna looked down at the sight arrayed below her. The sky was full of dragons. All six Western Weyrs had gathered here at Sky Weyr for the last time.

A white line on the sleeve of her wher-hide jacket distracted her and she moved her arm so she could, once again, count the twenty white lines—well, only ten on that arm; there were another ten on the other sleeve—that each marked a Fall flown by her and the Sky dragons. Twenty Falls. Two casualties. And no burrows.

Cliova had joined Danirry in the Sky Weyr roll of honor after she and her green Bemorth had succumbed to the altitude sickness at a moment when the catchers had been busy elsewhere. Like Danirry before her, tragically, her absence had not been noted until it was too late. Her death had caused Xhinna to change her tactics—much to her personal annoyance even though to the relief of others—and now the wingleaders all flew with the catcher dragons, maintaining constant alert. Since then there had been no other losses.

Cliova’s Bemorth had had a clutch on the sands, and her eighteen hatchlings were among the ninety-six others greeted fervently at the last Hatching of Sky Weyr.

Onto Dragon's Code now.

Okay this isn't even half the numbers but fucking tumblr ate the rest of the draft so here, have these awhile while I fucking hunt down the parts I highlighted again and put them in an actual word document instead of trusting tumblr to function properly -.-

Only twenty-three of the two hundred and fifty three eggs had hatched; the rest had been ruptured, their contents devoured by tunnel snakes burrowing up from the ground.

“And Coranth just rose …,” K’dan continued. “Do you think the greens that went back with Fiona might have risen, too?” Xhinna asked, her eyes wide. “Or they’re about to,” he said. “There were thirty-six greens in the last clutch,” Taria remarked. “And if they clutched like the others, then there’d be sixteen eggs, more or less, in each clutch,” Xhinna said. “And then we’d have five hundred and seventy-six fighting dragons,” Bekka breathed in awe. “Five hundred and seventy-six dragonets,” K’dan reminded her.

Okay! Split the GreenClutches story into three sections, got what has been written into chronological order, and went through to put in capslock notes to myself about what scenes need to be added (lots). Always startling while in this part of the process to see what things I know are happening and are important, but haven’t actually...written at all.

Like J’pei’s grandfather is super important and I haven’t written any scenes with him and don’t know his name! Whoops.
