Chapter 6
Algae sat down across from Cobalt and Firn. After grabbing the necklaces he had the really study them. They were perfectly oval, white in color with flecks of gold, green, blue, and just about any color you could think of. The necklace its self was made of a kind of seaweed that he had never seen before. It was green, of course, but it had a shade of blue also. The multi-colored gem was held to the cord with more of this strange weed, wrapping around the gem on top, looking more like a pendent.
"There opal, just as I thought." He muttered out loud.
"What does that mean?" Questioned Firn
"Well…" Algae said in thought, "since opals are found mostly found in sandy areas, I'm guessing these opals came from the sand kingdom. Which means the city is in the sand kingdom…right?"
"I don't know" said Cobalt "it's so flat and lifeless wouldn't dragons have found a whole city by now?"
"True" said Algae "but how else do you explain why these are opals and not any other rock?
"Maybe only an opal can find the city, or maybe the dragon that made these keys was a sandwing and only had opals handy, or mayb-."
"OK, I get it" said Algae "but I still think it's a good idea to check it out."
"But we don't even know where to start." Replied Cobalt
"I'm in" piped up Firn
Both Algae and Cobalt swung their heads around in surprise; they forgot Firn was still here. They must have looked confused because firn continued speaking.
"I say we fly there and have a look around, maybe even find out where the most common spot for opals are and if that doesn't work out then we can go from there. It beats just staying here all day arguing." She finished as she gestured around the cave they was in.
"Sounds like a plan" Cobalt said after a moment of stunned silence, maybe bringing Firn along was going to be a good thing. "What do you think, Algae? Algae? Hellooooooo" she said waving her talons in front of Algae's face.
"Wha…" he started
"What are you doing?" Cobalt asked
"Look up there" he said as he pointed up to the ceiling of the cavern. "There are colors up there, wavy colors kind of in a line, do you see them?
"I do" said Firn "they kind of look familiar."
"They kind of look like the opals" Cobalt supplied but Firn still looked unsure.
Whatever it is, I agree with Firn, let's go to the sand kingdom see what's there, then go from there"
"First time someone's agreed with me in a long time" said firn
"This trip is going to be hard, we'll have to go over the mud kingdom then over the mountains." said Cobalt
"Yeah but not as hard as getting out of here" Algae said
