Eruption, can be shown flying rapidly through the air. His wings were beating rapidly at his sides and he seemed to be panting heavily. In a matter of seconds' he landed in front of the cave; both him and his brother called home. "I can't believe I'm late." He panted out as he ran down the tunnel; only to immediately come to a stop in front of a rather large chamber. Which seemed slightly larger than the one; where the horde was kept, and it felt slightly warmer. Slowly he walked into the chamber; giving him a clear view of his brother. Who was sitting right next to the egg; which held their younger sibling inside. The egg sat directly in the middle of a gentle fire; which danced gracefully around the egg. Keeping the unborn life inside of it warm. "Brother." Eruption called out; causing his younger brother to jump slightly. Before he looked up towards him; giving his brother a loving smile.

"Brother." Forestshine replied as he got up from where he sat and hugged his brother; who hugged him back, "How was training the new recruits?" He asked only to hear his older brother; release a loud sigh.

"Hard and frustrating." Eruption answered as he sat down in front of the egg; allowing him to feel the warmth that came from the fire, "One of the new warriors; tried to master a difficult nature spell and nearly got himself killed. While two others had gotten into a fight with one another; which nearly cost the life of one of them, while the other almost lost one of her horns'." He explained while he felt his brothers gentle paw rubbing his back.

"Life as the village leader was never easy for our father." Forestshine said earning him a chuckle from his older brother.

"Our father never said it was easy." Eruption replied; before he breathed a gentle flame onto the egg. Getting the temperature of the fire; back up to the proper temperature to help keep the young life inside warm. Once he finished; he gave off a heavy sigh. "I miss them." He said as his brother sat next to him; wrapping one of his wings' around his brother.

"I miss them too." Forestshine said while placing a gentle paw on his brother shoulder, "But, thanks to them; me and you are strong, and you have enough confidence in yourself. To lead this village." He then looked back towards the egg, "And I have confidence in us; that we can raise our sibling. To not only be a kind and loving dragon. But, also a mighty and strong warrior." He continued; only to feel his brother nuzzle him slightly; causing him to release a small purr. As he nuzzled him back. After a few seconds' Forestshine, slowly got up and walked over to a large bag. Which was filled with multiple rolled up papers' and other various items. Such as; pens, quills, and some ink.

"Going back to map; the southern forest?" Eruption asked as his younger brother; slipped the bag over his head and onto his shoulder.

"Yes." Forestshine answered as he faced Eruption, "I am close to finishing the map for it and I discovered another part of the western forest; a few days' ago. So, I'll be back when the moon is halfway up in the sky." He said receiving a nod from his brother; who got up and walked over to him, giving him a hug. Which he immediately returned.

"Be safe." Eruption said before he broke the hug.

"I will." Forestshine replied; before he started to exit the chamber, "Love you." He said before he exited the chamber.

"Love you, too." Eruption replied before his focus went back; to the egg. A small smile stretched across his face; as he sat down in front of the egg. "I wish you would hatch, little one." He said as he placed a gentle paw on the egg and gently rubbed it, "Both of us are eager to see you." He continued before breathing another gently flame onto the egg again; getting the fire back up to the correct temperature once more. As Eruption watched the egg; his eyelids' started to feel heavy, and he found himself starting to slowly nod off. He gave of one large yawn and soon fell asleep; entering the peaceful realm of dreams'.

"Crack." Eruption gently shook his head; he was slightly awoken from his sleep, but he soon found himself asleep once again. Thinking it was simply his imagination. "Crack. Crackle." His body slightly shook; thinking it was only the cold air, he fell asleep again. "Crackle. Crack. Crackle." His eyes' started to slowly open; allowing him to see the blurry image of the egg right in front of him. "Crackle. Gurgle. Crack." A small whine suddenly echoed threw the air; causing his eyes' to immediately open wide. Giving him clear view of the egg; which had multiple cracks' on it, and one large hole in it. Giving a clear view; of a small purple snout and a small purple claw.

"Bahamut." Eruption gasped as a large piece of the egg fell; giving him full view of a small purple hatchling, which lay in a small curled up ball inside what remained of the egg. It was giving off a small whine; as it's tiny body shook. Something inside of Eruption immediately broke and in a move; faster than he had ever made before. He gently picked the small baby up and held it close; as it gave off a small whimper and whine.

"It's okay." He said in a gentle loving voice, "I'm here." He continued as his new baby sibling; released a small whine, "I'm here." he said in a cracked voice as he held the tiny dragon close to his body. Hearing it give off a small purr as it snuggled up against its older brother. Enjoying the warmth that came from its' older brothers body. "You're beautiful." Eruption said as a few tears started to fall from his eyes'; as he gently rubbed the babies back. It made him remember the very first time he held Forestshine. He watched as the hatchling rubbed its' snout against his body; just before it started to gently lick him. Causing a few more tears to fall from his eyes'; as it pressed its tiny body up against his once again.

"It is good to finally see you." Eruption said as he gently licked the top; of the hatchlings head. Chuckling slightly as he watched it shake its head and release a tiny sneeze. In that moment; he felt as though, Bahamut, had answered his prayer. While at the same time; he cursed himself, for he wished that their mother and father were here. So that they could see their newest addition to their family. He then heard the sound; of something landing at the front of the cave. Which brought a large smile to his face, "Brother, I'm back!" He heard Forestshine say; as he heard him walking towards the chamber.

"I am sorry for being late." Forestshine apologized as he finally reached the chamber, "I managed to finish mapping the southern forest. But, while I was mapping the western a." He immediately went silent; when he saw his brother sitting quietly on the floor, "Brother?" He called out as he slowly walked towards Eruption.

"Brothers'." Eruption replied.

"What?" Forestshine asked in a clearly confused voice; only to have his eyes' go wide in shock a few seconds later, "The egg. Did it?"

"Yes." Eruption interrupted as he slowly got up from where he sat, "It hatched." He continued before he turned towards Forestshine. Allowing him to see their new baby brother; who was sleeping peacefully in his oldest brothers' hold.

Forestshine, felt tears' rapidly falling from his eyes' as he gazed upon his baby brother. He slowly walked up to the two and held his arms' out, "May I hold him, please." He asked; which caused Eruption to chuckle, "You do not need to ask; to hold your own baby brother." He heard Eruption reply; as he gently placed the hatchling in his brothers' arms', hearing it release a small whine as it felt the cold air again. "Shh. Shh." Forestshine hushed as he held the hatchling close to his body, "You're okay. I've got you." He said as his baby brother snuggled close to his body; hearing a small purr coming from him. Clearly happy with the warmth that he had found. "He's beautiful." Forestshine said as the baby gave him a gentle lick.

"Yes, he is." Eruption said as the hatchlings eyes' started to slowly open, "He's opening his eyes'." He said as the hatchlings eyes fully opened; giving them clear view of amethyst colored eyes'. The hatchlings eyes' took a moment to adjust to the darkness of the cave; slowly two images started to fade into focus. He could see two dragons' in front of him; slowly his head tilted in confusion. Who were these dragons'? What did they want? He then felt a massive cold breeze move across his tiny body. Why was it so cold? The hatchling then gave off a loud whimper and whine; as it tried to move closer to their bodies. Its small whimper and whine was answered by the one that was holding him. He felt himself pressed against the dragons warm hide; causing him to purr loudly before he fell back to sleep. Comforted by the dragons warmth.

"We've been blessed brother." Forestshine whispered as he gently rubbed his baby brothers back. Causing him to slightly shift in his hold; coming to a stop on his side. Allowing him to sleep facing towards his older brother, "We've been blessed." He said again as he tried to keep himself from crying.

Eruption, released a small chuckle before he patted his brothers back. "Yes, we have my brother." He said as he looked down towards the sleeping form of his baby brother. A smile stretching across his face; as he watched him sleep. A few minutes later; Eruption, slowly exited the cave and flew towards the cave of the mid-wife. Hoping to gain much needed information on how to raise a hatchling.
