Back again, yeah I know it's been a while but, hey, everybody needs a break.

Aquamarine is six years old, the same age her mother had been when she had saved Pyrrhia.

"Aquamarine!" Her mother's voice calls.

And the same age Queen Glory was when she became queen of the RainWings.

Do it.

Aquamarine's head snapped up, ever since they freed Ripple from the sleeping spell a voice had been urging her to challenge her mother for Queen of the throne.

"I mean it, Aquamarine!" They had developed a new palace into a cave, not too far from the deep palace, but the only way in or out was an underwater tunnel.

Aquamarine quickly ran out of her room and then flew down to the meeting room, there was a meeting going on between Tsunami, Auklet, Anemone, and Ripple to decide whether or not Ripple should still count as an air to the throne.

"I still say that she shouldn't, her time has past." Anemone's voice chimed.

"At least she should still be counted as royal." Auklet said a rarely long sentence.

"I wholeheartedly agree." Tsunami speaks.

When Aquamarine enters, Tsunami's back is to her, though the others turned their eyes to her, causing the Queen to turn around. Tsunami's eyes were sad.

"Yes mother?"

"In the excitement of the SkyWing attack there is something I neglected to mention..." Tsunami starts.

"Yes?" Aquamarine tilts her head, worry filling her gaze and her wings ruffling.

"When the SkyWings attacked Wave was the first to start the defence..." Aquamarine got a sinking feeling. "And, I'm sorry, he didn't make it..."

"What do you mean?" Aquamarine squeaks.

"Wave is... dead." That sentence broke her heart, Aquamarine ran out of the room and swam down the tunnel, she broke the suffice of the water and flew to the island she had first gotten lost at, it had become her hideout.

Aquamarine tilted her snout to the sky and roared, snarling her woes to anyone who heard, and she cried.

The next day, Aquamarine woke up on the same ledge she had cried on the night before, but there had been no dreams, strange.

Do it.

Ugh, I don't have time for this! Aquamarine shook her head, first Flare's betrayal, then Shark's death, and now poor Wave.

Her throat felt dry, and she dove far underwater, where she only had her thoughts, she was interrupted by a flash, it was Dolphin, a servant, calling her back to the castle.

Which one? She asks.

Summer, your mother was worried about you. Dolphin flashes back, then swims off.

Aquamarine nods and follows. She shoots through the water and up the tunnel, just behind Dolphin.

"Your majesty." Dolphin bows, then flies away to the small cafeteria in the palace, Aquamarine flies up to her mother, who was on a ledge, watching her daughter arrive.

DO IT!

She hears the voice scream.

"Are you all right?" Tsunami asks. "The, er, the guards heard your scream last night..."

DO IT NOW!

The voice screams violently, Aquamarine suddenly gets angry, then she feels strange, like she's watching the scene from afar.

"Queen Tsunami, I challenge you for the throne of the SeaWings!"

Gasps, including her own, as Tsunami takes a step back.

"A-are you sure?"

"Yes!" Aquamarine snarls, not meaning it. Tsunami gives a curt nod.

"Fine. The challenge will be one week from today."


It was the day before the challenge, and Aquamarine was freaking out, she didn't want to battle battle her mother, but she had no choice now!

The moon was rising and the dragonet lay her head down, soon she was asleep, how, no one knew.

Aquamarine was floating, she wasn't underwater, but she wasn't flying, she just was. As she gazed around she saw a figure come out of the blackness, it was a dark blue SeaWing, and when she flashed the stripes on her wings, it was the royal pattern.

"W-who are you?" Aquamarine stammers.

"I am Queen Sapphire of the Royal SeaWing lineage!" The strange SeaWing replies.

"Why are you here..." Aquamarine thinks back to the dreams. "Why are you possessing me!?"

"That... isn't me..." The former Queen replies sadly.

"Then who is it!?" Aquamarine roars. Sapphire sighs.

"As you know, Anumis Dragons will get corrupted if they use their power too much." Aquamarine knew where this was going. "And it happened to me... I kept think 'You're all right, I don't feel different' or 'oh well, it's not like I'm going corrupt' but I was, I didn't realize it, but I was... maybe it's better to show you."

"Show me, how?" Aquamarine tilts her head to the side.

"This is how..."

Aquamarine got lighter and her head was spinning, suddenly, it was like she was watching a conversation, she watched Sapphire and Ripple grow up, Ripple train to be Queen, while Sapphire found love in a NightWing, Sapphire became pregnant... and corrupted, she tried to cling to her last sliver of light, her love, Morrowseer, but he had moved on to another, a NightWing named Secretkeeper, Sapphire fled, and made a stupid choice, while pregnant, she got rid of Ripple, though she could never truly kill her sister, so she put her under a sleeping curse by enchanting their celebratory dolphin to put Ripple to sleep until the royal SeaWing glow once again she'd it's light upon her, she challenged her mother in her sister's stead and won, then she gave birth to two eggs, in a blind rage, she smashed them both.

Later she found love with a SeaWing, though it wasn't true, and had Coral and Shark, when Coral was six, she challenged her mother for the throne and won, and that is the story of Sapphire, The Corrupt SeaWing Queen.

Aquamarine blinked away a few tears.

"So you see, my darkness wants revenge, and it possessed the weakest female Anumis it could find, you."

Aquamarine took a step back and thought, then it clicked.

"Wait. Animus!" She gasped.

"Yes, you are an animus, Aquamarine." Sapphire sighs. "But it is only a curse, whatever you do, do not use your power."

"I... I can't- wait, what about my mother?" Aquamarine asks. "I can't back out!"

Suddenly a black version of Sapphire emerges.

"And, why, my dear granddaughter, would you want to?" The new Sapphire asks calmly.

"No, don't listen to her! You must run, get out and fly far away, trust me, it's the only way!" The blue Sapphire tells Aquamarine urgently.

"No! Stay and fight, rip the poor dragon's wings off, use your power!" The black Sapphire crows.

Aquamarine screams and clutches her head.

"Just stop!"

And then she woke up.

There you go, since I have decided to do a mini series, there's one chapter left, and then an epilogue, after that there will be a few more stories, and then a big series featuring the main characters of all the short stories, so don't worry, you haven't seen the last of Aquamarine!
