Wings of Fire - A Perfect Day - Chapter Two
Tsunami was standing at the top of a cliff. She looked down below and saw the sea-green waters below her - the seafoam rolled through the waves as they lapped onto the shore.
Tsunami then dove off the cliff, her wings folded, her snout pointing towards the sea. She felt gravity pull her closer and closer towards the clear waters. She smiled calmly - this felt wonderful.
The salty sea air filled her nostrils the closer she got to the waters. Suddenly, right when she was about to hit the sea, she opened her eyes and wings, flying upwards as her talons splashed water into the air, wooping with joy. This was a wonderful, free feeling that Tsunami hadn't felt in a long, long time.
She then let herself go again, relaxing every muscle in her body. She didn't even close her wings. She fell back-first into the sea - the salty water filtered through her gills.
Tsunami then righted herself. Colorful corals decorated the ground, and fish with all colors of the rainbow swam past. She glided through as the current pulled her north.
Suddenly, she saw a sky-blue SeaWing in the distance with a scar on his snout. Riptide!
She swam towards him, hugging him. The patterns on her scales glowed as she spoke in the Aquatic that she somehow instantly became fluent in. Riptide! It's been so long.
Riptide smiled, recovering from his initial shock. It's good to see you again, Tsunami. Suddenly, the expression on his face changed to worry - a serious worry. Look. I've... always wanted to tell you something. But I was too afraid of how you'd react..
Tsunami's sea-green eyes widened. Yes, Riptide? She had a hint of what he was going to say.
Riptide refused to make eye contact with Tsunami. Oh, this is so embarrassing... Tsunami.. He forced his dark blue eyes to meet Tsunami's sea-green eyes. Tsunami - I love you.
Tsunami was taken aback, before a smile slowly spread across her face. Riptide - I have something to tell you, too. I love you.
Riptide smiled back. They then hugged.
They swam to the surface and flew towards the cliff that Tsunami had dove off of. But, to their surprise, they saw Scarlet and Morrowseer!
"It's about time we had a final battle," Scarlet said, flexing her claws.
"I couldn't agree more," Morrowseer agreed, brooding in the shadows.
Tsunami knew this was a battle she would win, though. She bit Scarlet right in her weak spot and Riptide voluntarily clawed her belly. They caused a gash so deep in Scarlet's throat that she bled to death - and Morrowseer finally looked ready for battle.
Tsunami tackled him, clawing his jaw. "THIS is for making us live in that stupid cave!"
"Yeah!" Riptide yelled, sinking his teeth into Morrowseer's leg.
She bit his neck. "THIS is for trying to kill Glory!"
"EXACTLY!" Riptide shouted, biting Morrowseer right at his weak spot.
"AND THIS," Tsunami said, readying her tail, "IS FOR MAKING UP THE PROPHECY!"
She then hit his face with her tail so hard that he was blown out of the cave and fell to the waters below, wailing, "NOOOOO!" that became more faint as he headed towards the waters. A splash was faintly heard as his black body sunk to the ocean floor.
Riptide and Tsunami then did a high-five. "We make a pretty great team, don't we, Tsunami?" Riptide said, grinning at her.
"I couldn't agree more," Tsunami said, and suddenly pulled him in for a kiss.
She then felt burning, sizzling passion fizzing inside her - oh, wait a minute, this wasn't passion. Tsunami was feeling uncomfortably warm.
She instantly pulled the virtual simulator helmet off of her, blinking several times when she was brought back to reality.
"That," Tsunami said, "was the greatest thing I've ever experienced." She was grinning from ear to ear.
"Well, I'm happy to hear that," Starflight said, grinning back. He was glad to hear his machine was fully working as it was supposed to.
"Can I have a turn?" Glory asked. Curious light blue sweeped through her scales.
"Sure," Tsunami said. She gave the helmet, and Glory slid it on, suddenly emerging at her royal treehouse in the rainforest.
