Cattleya lead the start of the yearly ritual, the building of the bonfire. As the fire grew to immense size more sphinxes joined the festivities. There were tables laden high with cakes, cheeses, grains, custards, and many a drink.
This was a day of fertility and life! Cattleya laughed musically as she cavorted around the fire, joining the other sphinxes to caper and dance with her. The shadows of the dancers from the light of the fire flickered and flowed over the ground mimicking the dancers which made another dance of it's own.
Cattleya called out praises to the fertility deities from many lands as she tossed into the fire numerous items for breeding: statues, garlands, potions, paddle dolls, chaos elixirs and more! This was going to be an interesting year and she was happy to join in the foreign ritual happening in Khemet. Cubs would be born from tonight's festivities, she could just feel it in her heart.

Beltane Breeding!
It's the yearly time for the very chaotic and random Beltane Breeding.
All who wish to participate post a picture of your sphinx with the words "(name) would like to dance this Beltane" You may enter up to two sphinxes.
You do not need any breeding items, and cannot use any breeding items since they are all randomly and chaotically applied by the team. There are also no restrictions to which adult sphinx/netjer/etc may participate, even if they need special items to breed.
Do realize that this will be a very chaotic and random breeding. The cubs born could wind up from any parents (or multiple parents!) have traits/colours/markings that none of the parents have, be born at any age, etc. The sphinxes with successful breedings are chosen randomly and the cubs go to one of the parents. (If the cub is not claimed by a month after it's posted in this thread it will go to another of the parents on the cert who can claim within a month, etc. If there are no other parents it will be reclaimed.)
These cubs may be very fast or very slow arriving! Sometimes it takes many months before they appear, they are done as the team has time, inspiration and energy. We try to get out as many as we can though. There may even be some breedings completed before the entry time is up! Please don't ask when they are coming or if there will be more since they could be made at any point.
You have until 23:00 UTC May 2nd 2017 to post.
(You may edit your entry until the time is up.)
