sorry but this chapter was really just a time waster, you dont even have to read it. there flying to the mudwing place, and i didnt know what to say. lol. PS Cobalt is forever a third wheel...for now. #ThirdWheel
Chapter8
Algae didn't notice Cobalt in till she was upon them. He jumped a little as she walked out of the sea.
"Are you guys ready or are we going to sit around all day talking" she looked at Algae like she knew a secret but he didn't know what it could be.
"I'm ready" said firn
"You're always ready for something" teased Algae
"Well ok then "Cobalt said as she jumped into the sky, quickly followed by the other two.
"Where are we going first?" asked Firn with a little more enthusiasm than a dolphin who spotted a pack of tuna.
"First" Algae said "we are going to the diamond spray delta where we will spend the night then we will try to find a mudwing who'll take us across the mud lands and to the mountains then it's a straight shot to the sand kingdom where we'll hopefully find some answer to these keys.
"Wow you have everything planned out, obsess much" Firn teased back. Cobalt just laughed. This trip was going great so far, Algae lamented. He had his two friends at his side going to places he had never gone before, seeing new things he has never seen. You didn't know how boring the ocean was till you left it and saw the world, and he's only been a fraction of a day away from the islands of the kingdom of the sea yet it was the furthest he had been from home.
To be honest these keys would open up a whole new family to him, explain why his scales were this pale in color. Why he felt different than everyone else. He started when Firn poked his arm and he realized he had been deep in thought.
"Are you ok?" asked Firn
"Yeah, I'm fine, just lost in thought" he said giving her a smile and was pleased when she returned it with one of her own.
"Okay, since this is going to be a long trip let's start by telling stories that will help us all get to know the real us, before we met." He said mostly toward Firn since he had known Cobalt all his life.
"I'll start" he said. Once when I was young, the queen told me of Anumis's"
"Is this the coral story?" Cobalt asked with an eye roll.
"Yes it's the coral story" he said but he noticed Cobalt was grinning.
"Now" he said resuming his story "you must understand the queen was like my mother since I was an orphan, she would watch me and play with me, even though sometimes she'd have to go away foe days at a time, I never got mad because she would always show up again and we'd play and tell stories. One day we sat down after had been gone for a couple of months and we talked about why she had been gone for so long. She said she had to deal with a broken reef due to an anumis touched artifact, because all the reefs are dying and she wanted to save them. When I asked what an anumis was she told me there was these dragons that were born with an power over objects and they could make them do anything they said and she explained how dangerous this was because if the said dragons were to use to much of their power than there soul would be dead and they would be evil. Of course I was scared but then she told me all the good things that could come out of and anumis if they used their powers sparingly, like how the icewings have floating balls of light and the above water palace was made with anumis powers. So naturally when I was playing outside the next day I decided that I wanted to be an anumis. When I found a piece of coral on the ground I picked it up and being lonely I told it to bring me a new friend. I was so busy looking at the stick of coral that I ran right into Cobalt over there and we spent the rest of the day just talking and playing.
"Gosh," Cobalt said turning a little pink "it was just a normal day making a friend." Firn laughed
"I have a story about a shark" she said her eyes twinkling.
This trip was going to be okay as long as he had his two friends to ride it along with.
hopefully the next chapter will be out soon and it will defintly be better cya soon bye.
