This Fanfic takes place roughly ten years after Talons of Power, Tsunami is queen of the Seawings. This story is inaccurate, it is based on my OC Tsunami's daughter Aquamarine.
Aquamarine looked around, she was a navy blue dragon, with light green stripes, also, she was three days old.
Mom said I could leave the hatchery today! She mentally screams, Where is she!?
Aquamarine was Tsunami's only heir, as her mate, Riptide, was dead. He died in the Battle of the Night. It was thanks to him that they had defeated Darkstalker, and restored Uncle Turtle's animus power, but enough about that.
Aquamarine was tired of waiting, so she started searching for a way out of the hatchery. Figuring out there was no way out, except the entrance of course, Aquamarine started digging, while she dug she thought, I should have a nickname. Thinking and digging she missed the call of her mother.
Aquamarine Tsunami's lights flashed. Then she poked her head inside. Just what do you think your doing?
Aquamarine felt herself being dragged out of her hole, Uhh... She flashed guiltily. Digging a new nest...?
Mhm. Tsunami flickered. Bad dragonet! The queen scolds. Normally I would ban you from leaving for a few more days but, we have guests coming to the summer palace. The palace had been rebuilt over the past five years.
Aquamarine swam up in joy.
Come. Tsunami commanded. Aquamarine followed her mother watching as she commanded guards, to do this and that. Aquamarine looked on to find that even after they left the ocean dragons were flying about. Aquamarine flashed happily.
"Oh dear, you don't need to talk in Aquatic up here, we can use voices to express ourselves." Aquamarine tilted her head to the side. What? She flashed, aquatic was all she knew, she didn't know how to speak words yet.
"Ah, yes, must get you speaking lessons, well for the sake of our visit,..." Repeat after me. Tsunami flashes, Aquamarine looked up readily, "Hello, my name is Aquamarine." Tsunami's looked on expectantly.
"H-llo, m-y n-a-me is Aq-ua-mr-ine." Aquamarine tries. She gazes at her mother.
Try again The queen flashes back.
"H-llo my n-ame is Aqua-mar-ine."
Again Tsunami fashed.
"Hello, my name is Aqua-mari-ne."
Once more
"Hello, my name is Aquamarine." Aquamarine claps happily.
What you just said was... 'Hello my name is Aquamarine'. Tsunami tells her daughter. Aquamarine flaps twice in excitement. Her first speaking lesson!
The rest of the flight passes rather, uneventfully, until finally they arrive at the palace. They each dive down and Aquamarine follows her mother through the underwater entrance.
"Ahh, sister." An unfamiliar dragon calls in greeting, another dragon soon follows. The first dragon was an average size, she was light green with eerie blue stripes.
"Anemone!" Tsunami calls happily, she turns to the other dragon, this dragon was extremely small, she was a whitish blue color, and her stripes were pure white. "Auklet." Tsunami names the other one. Auklet simply nods. Tsunami turns back to Anemone. "Still not talking?"
"Yep!" Anemone responds, then she notices Aquamarine. "Who's this little one?"
Aquamarine had a feeling of what she was asking, so she responded with, "Hello, my name is Aquamarine."
"Aww, how cute!" Anemone squeals.
"Yes, well, just taught her that line this morning, little dragonet still doesn't know speech." Tsunami sighs.
"Well, that won't do! Can't have two silent dragons, now can we?" Anemone says.
"Yes... well, I was hoping you could teach her?" Tsunami asks her sister.
"Of course! It will be fun!" Anemone squeaks. Auklet just shakes her head. "I still have yet to let my little ones-" Anemone starts.
"Announcing the arrival of Queen Glory, and Queen Ruby." A dragon shouts. They all turn.
"Ah, Glory, Ruby, my friends and allies!" Tsunami holds out her arms like she's expecting a hug. "Glory, how did you ever get Death bringer to let you out? What with your... condition."
"As I recall you were the one who fought in the battle of the night, when you were pregnant with Riptide's little ones." Glory retorts.
Tsunami winces at the mention of her beloved. Aquamarine growls, sensing her mother's discomfort.
"Aha... Glory apologize, please?" Ruby wimpers.
"Sorry, for mentioning him, Tsunami dear."
As the Queens continue to speak, Anemone flies over to Aquamarine.
Do you have a nickname or should I keep calling you Aquamarine? Anemone flashes.
Call me Aqua... who are you? Aquamarine questions.
I am your aunt Anemone. She responds.
Oh Aquamarine flashes back.
And now it's time for your first speaking lesson! Anemone flashed with excitement.
Hours later,
Aquamarine was back in the hatchery getting ready for sleep, the day had gone by quickly after discovering how good a teacher Anemone was, now Aquamarine knew plenty of speech, and was waiting anxiously for her next lesson.
Good night. Tsunami bids her daughter farewell. Aquamarine waves and starts falling softly asleep.
Aquamarine looks around, she's on a beach, the ocean water is cool against her talons.
"Ahh, you decided to show up, I see." An unfamiliar voice speaks from the shadows.
"Anything to ensure I become the next queen. Not that foolish sister!" Aquamarine finds herself speaking.
"Ha ha, well as long as you work with the Talons of Peace, Ocean will never succeed." A different feminine voice replies. Two dragons step out of the shadows, one as black as night, when he flared his wings you could see specks of silver, his eyes were the color of a full moon , the other, her voice was like silk, deadly silk, her scales were the color of blood fresh on a wound, her eyes were as blue as the ocean they stood beside, if looks could kill they would be dead. "Morrowseer, Sapphire, if the plan succeeds, we will become rulers of the sea kingdom as well as sky!"
"But Flame, are you sure your daughter is ready?" Aquamarine speaks once again.
"Of course I'm sure, Scarlet will kill Oasis, starting a war, then she will challenge my sister and win!"
"But, Flame, who will take the blame for Oasis' death?" Morrowseer questions.
"I've already got that figured out! Soon, you will deliver your stupid prophecy, and everything will fall into place." Flame laughs. "And besides... the less you know... the better." Flame lifts into the sky, as Aquamarine watches, she becomes a blood red speck, against the full moon.
"Until, we meet again." Aquamarine bids Morrowseer farewell, and dives into the ocean.
"Goodbye... Sapphire."
Aquamarine missed the look of longing in Morrowseer's eyes.
Aquamarine wakes up in a cold sweat.
She looks around, nothing seems amiss. What was that...? Aquamarine wonders. Soon she realizes it's already the next day! Aquamarine is pretty much 100 percent sure the other Queens are still here. Out of the corner of her eye she sees a flash, so she pokes her head out the door to see Anemone.
Your mother wants you at the summer palace, so let's not keep her waiting. Anemone smiles and beckons Aquamarine to follow.
Soon enough they've reached the palace.
"Mom!" Aquamarine shouts.
"I see Anemone's lessons are paying off!" Tsunami smiles down at her daughter.
"So, this is her? Not much to look at." Glory snorts.
"Yes, well she will grow." Tsunami growls, then lightens up. "Come, let's discuss the union further." Ruby and Glory nod, and follow as Tsunami leads them to a separate cave. Aquamarine watches them go until Anemone distracts her.
"Next lesson! Oh and your mother wanted me to tell you that you'll be sleeping here for the remainder of the week." Aquamarine shrugs in response.
After another successful lesson, Aquamarine is curling up in her shared room, with Ruby's daughter, who had arrived this morning.
"So, what's it like being able to breathe underwater?" Ruby's daughter Flare asks.
"Pretty much the same as being able to breathe over water." Aquamarine jokes. Flare is one day older than Aquamarine herself.
"Ha, I can tell we're going to get along great!" Flare laughs, soon however she's snoring loudly.
Aquamarine takes the time to admire their room, there's a scroll shelf in one wall, containing a couple of blank scrolls, and a couple of written scrolls, as well as the fact that one half of the room is covered in water,there's also the two beds, one, Flare's, is made up of dried out kelp and seaweed, with a few strands of grass woven in. Aquamarine's bed is pretty much the same, except for a few things, one, no grass, two, the kelp and seaweed are still wet, three it's in the submerged half of the room.
After properly admiring the room, Aquamarine decided to go for a midnight fly, so she carefully crept out of the cave. Standing on the ledge she gazed at the interior palace, then she took to the skies, sneaking past the guards, she flew out to another island, that's when it started to rain.
Oh Seahorses! Now I'd better head back. But she'd always flown to either palace with and adult dragon... so where was home? Aquamarine was lost! She searched and search until she found a cave. As soon a she crawled in she fell fast asleep...
This time she was in an unfamiliar place, it was surrounded by mountains, now that she thought about it, she was on a mountain! Aquamarine looked ahead, the was a battle going on between two dragons, one, was a young female looking like she was just reaching adulthood her scales were as orange as a clownfish, her eyes were red, red as the blood on her talons, the other, also female, looked as if she had wisdom beyond her years, her eyes were as blue as the sky, her scales were blood red... similar to... Flare's!
"Please Scarlet, yield and I won't have to kill you!" The eldest speaks.
"Never! Queen Fire your time has come... to die.!" Scarlet sky dived for Fire claws out stretched Fire didn't have the time to move before... Scarlet went right through her! Fire's eyes widened, as she fell, never to move again.
Aquamarine found herself cheering, Flame on her left, Morrowseer on her right.
"Long live Queen Scarlet!" They chanted.
"Aquamarine!" Tsunami's worried voice shook her awake. "Oh thank Coral!" She shout when Aquamarine awakens. "Don't ever do that again you hear me!" Aquamarine found herself being dragged into a hug. Then she was put on her mother's back and carried away, back to the summer palace.
