Chapter By: Author One (Me, the one and only!)

Prologue

Wave

The waves crashed violently on the shore, making a greenish-blue, tiny SeaWing egg roll around on the beach. Its mother looked on with tears in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, my precious dragonet. But I must do this. The evil dragons are coming for you…" she wept, but it was barely noticeable through the setting sun and oncoming storm.

The egg wobbled, and finally cracked, letting a tinier-than-usual dragonet the color of the sea slide her body out. A tiny cry rang out, her first words of many.

"I don't want to do this… but it's the only way to keep you safe. Your powers foretold by the great Oracle of the Sun, Moonrise, told me that your powers must be kept hidden away. I hope to see you again, one day…" the mother wept harder as two SeaWings emerged from the water and started to speak to her in Aquatic.

We will take the dragonet, now.

The dragonet they were speaking of let out a fearsome cry, and started to weep herself as she figured out what was going on. She was leaving her mother forever.

"No!" the mother cried out as her beloved was dragged under the surface. "Please, there has to be another way… No… Wave! Come back for me, Wave!"

But there was no reply.

The mother heard wingbeats behind her and saw a dragon that… no, it couldn't be… was he made of darkness? It seemed so, that wasn't a good sign. But her thoughts were interrupted by a stone-cold, slithery voice, a one that struck fear into the hearts of all dragons.

The voice of the DarkWing, Fear, accompanied by his equally cruel SoulWing minions, Venom and Spyro.

"I have not found the NightWing, but your SSSSSeaWing… it will subssssstitute very nicely. Venom, Spyro, I sense that we are not able to capture the SeaWing dragonet… but her mother may be useful... If not, I sssssuppose I will have to kill her. Sure, I just washed off the blood of my other victimssss, but I can always wash them again….

"Please, no! Don't do this to me! I…I…" the mother's voice faltered. What would she do? She realized that her time was up.

Fear thought for a moment. Then, slowly, a creepy smile showed, a smile that meant one thing, and one thing only.

No one ever heard the scream.

No one ever found the body.

And no one ever saw the blood, that was washed away into the depths of the sea…
