`Horizon had never seen the ocean. In fact, the largest body of water she had ever seen was the oasis, which had a huge city around it, so she had only caught glimpses. But her parents had promised her a vacation for her birthday, and she had wanted to see the kingdom of the Sea. Horizon was a Sandwing, 5 years old, and had pale yellow scales. She had a scar running from behind her ear up to her horn. The horn was tattooed to continue the scar. Horizon had a sister, Goldenrod. Goldenrod was 6 years old, and had scales the color of sand. She also had golden scales around her talons, eyes, and horns. She was wearing her amber amulet. All of a sudden, a desert of blue arose in front of Horizon. It was the ocean. She had never seen so much water in one place. She whooped in joy, and her sister snorted in amusement. Goldenrod dove into the water and shot back up almost immediately. Horizon let out a small chuckle. Goldenrod roared at their parents,"Why would you take us to some weird salty water?! I bet it isn't even water"
Horizon let out a small sigh, "Oceans have salt water, not fresh. I thought you knew everything" she added sarcastically.
"I HATE THIS STUPID OCEAN, WHAT'S THE POINT OF WATER THAT YOU CAN'T DRINK" Goldenrod roared. Her father barked out a laugh.
"For the sight, and also Seawings live there" he laughed, pointing to the west. Horizon dove into the water for a closer look.
Horizon was amazed at the different colors of fish that swarmed her face. She looked around. There were so many colors, especially at a coral reef like this. She noticed a shiny orange shell in the sand, and she picked it up. Horizon knew how much Goldenrod liked anything orange or shiny. This shell was both. Horizon let out a small stream of bubbles and swam to to surface. Her parents were sitting on a rock, looking at their children with a soft expression. Horizon flew over to Goldenrod, and handed her the shell. She was about to say something, when a whirlwind of green tackled her. She was submerged, and she saw her parents spurt fire where she had disappeared. Horizon saw Goldenrod next to her, struggling against green scales. Seawings thought Horizon, and tried to lift her tail. The scorpion like barb at the end of it was a trait that all Sandwings shared. Woah, these dragons work quickly, she thought. Her tail was in a tight knot or tied by seaweed. She noticed that she was starting to pass out from the lack of oxygen. She looked into the Seawings eyes desperately, and he slapped the younger Seawing with his tail. She looked at him confused, and he flashed some of his glow up stripes. They surged upwards, and Horizon got a few needed gasps of air, when seaweed pressed against her face. She was being blindfolded, but she heard Goldenrod complaining. Before she could tell Goldenrod to stop wasting her air, she was underwater again…
