Chapter 3:

Tsunami woke as a ray of sunlight hit her eyes. At first, it was blinding, but when she could see, there was a small pile of fish was in front of her, and Riptide was no where to be seen. She looked around the cave, and then saw Riptide coming up the sandy hill to the cave with several fish in his mouth. " I see the princess is finally awake." said Riptide " You looked like you hadn't had a meal in weeks. I brought you some food so you wouldn't starve on the way to the Deep Palace." Ripptide was right. Tsunami hadn't eaten since the war ended. She was so exited, she didn't bother to hunt. All of a sudden, she felt like she could eat as much as Clay could. Tsunami said " Thanks for the fish, but after I finish it, I need you to take me straight to my family. I've waited quite a while to see them, and I don't want to wait much longer." "Well eat up then, I'm not stopping you am I?" Tsunami wolfed down the fish in seconds. Even though she still felt very hungry (if not hungrier) she said "There, now take me home".

The sea looked diffrent from when Tsunami last saw it. There was more color, and the coral was overgrown. It reminded her of her mom. She finally looked down and saw the same old Kingdom of the Sea below her. I'm home thought Tsunami. She began trying to remember the Aquatic Riptide showed her the previous day. It came back in a flash. Suddenly, she realized she was at the Deep Palace. Guards surrounded her. One stepped forward to speak with her. It wasn't Shark, thank the moons, but this one didn't reconize her as a princess. Who are you, and what is your buisness with Queen Coral? flashed the guard in Aquatic. My name is Tsunami, if you didnt reconize me.Tsunami flashed back the best she could. And why would I reconize you? Tsunami got frustrated with this guy I'm Queen Coral's Daughter, squidbrain she flashed angerly. Proove it flashed the guard at her. Tsunami remembered how her wings looked diffrent from others because she was royal. she spread her wings and made them glow so that the guard could see better. Suddenly, the guard did the same thing. He was royal too.

The Deep Palace looked awsome. The guard let them in to show Queen Coral that Tsunami arrived. Tsunami remembered almost every inch of the Deep Palace. The guard was leading them to the Liabrairy, to the look of it. When they arrived, he opened the doors and Tsunami saw her mother, at a desk. What is it? I'm writing about my daughters. Queen Coral flashed at the guard, still looking at the scroll she was writing. When she looked over her shoulder for a response, she swam over to Tsunami and flashed You're home, Tsunami! and gave Tsunami a lung-crushing hug. Tsunami noticed Anemone wasn't attatched to her mom by a harness anymore Where's Anemone and Auklet? Tsunami flashed at her mom. Right over here Queen Coral flashed back before leading Tsunami to her sisters. She stopped for a moment and flashed at the guard It's okay, Cod, you can go back on duty. Then she turned to Riptide, whom followed all the way. Riptide, thank you for finding Tsunami. Tsunami was glad her mother was grateful to Riptide. He nodded his head and swam away. Tsunami thought, when no one else was looking, he flashed to her Meet me on the beach, okay? If I can. Tsunami flashed back.

Queen Coral opened the doors to a room Tsunami had never seen before. In the center, it looked like a dragon was flashing things off a scroll to Anemone and Auklet. Tsunami did alot for the Kingdom of the Sea while she was here. She helped solve who was killing off the Heirs. Akulet, she helped hatch you, even! it appeared to be some sort of story-time, and the dragon in the center looked like the new teacher, because Whirlpool wasn't here anymore. She seemed fun, because Auklet was jumping up and down with joy as the Teacher read off the scroll, and Anemone looked less thrilled, but happy all the same. The Teacher looked over tword Queen Coral, and Tsunami's sisters swam over faster then a shark to hug her. Anemone flahed We missed you SO much! I told Auklet all about you! then she turned back to her teacher and said That's Kelp, our new teacher. She's way better than Whirlpool. Kelp got Auklet speaking Aquatic fluently in just a week! Auklet then flashed It's true! I'm SO exited to finally meet you! Also, thanks for hatching me! I can't wait to show you around! We could play tag, oh and Mom wrote a story about you, and it's required reading for school. It's my most favorite story! You're so awsome! I wonder if I'll be like you . . . it went on and on untill Queen Coral flashed Alright, Auklet, but I bet Tsunami's tired. Let's show her room, shall we? then Auklet and Anemone flashed at the same time Yea! .Tsunami realized how big Anemone got in the month she was gone. Anemone used to be able to fit between Tsunami's legs, now she was at shoulder hight.

Tsunami's room was huge, and decorated thoroughly with pearls and shells. Right in the center, a large kelp bed just for her. She lied down, and her sisters jumped on top of her. Queen Coral flashed Now, now let Tsunami sleep if you're going to be on top of her. Okay, Mom Anemone and Auklet flashed. Tsunami streached out, and her sisters warmth felt strangely familiar. Then she remembered the night she slept with Riptide. If her mother ever found out . . . She won't thought Tsunami She won't ever find out.
