“ GUARD!” Queen Coral yelled. “Yes your Majesty?” A young, dark colored SeaWing guard answered, tapping his spear on the ground. “Get the fruits and meat for our guest now.” she ordered. “Yes your Majesty.” the guard scurried off. “I am pleased to be here.” The RainWing queen said. “But I must ask, why do you bring me here?” she asked. “Something has been stirring in the kingdom… something that could be the downfall of all things. It does not only apply to me…” Just then the young guard returned with a few others carrying drinks and plates of meat and fruit. “Thank you, now return to your posts.” Queen Coral instructed. They nodded and went off. As the guard was returning to his post, a slender, stiff, SeaWing appeared from behind a pillar. He shoved the guard. Oh great it’s, Prince Urchin come to ruin my day- thought Trench

“ Hey Six Claw!” The guard stood up. “Yes Prince Isthmus?” the guard said loyally. “I need you to save me!” the prince whimpered. The guard sighed. “From what?” “From your hideous face! Why don’t you use that extra claw of yours to hide more of your face! Oh wait, I don’t need to be tortured with your nasty claws either!” he laughed. The guard turned to walk away and muttered “Prince Isthmus, more like prince Eel.” “What did you just say?” Isthmus stormed over to the guard. “That is no way to treat royalty you little-” “Isthmus! I told you to stop torturing the poor guard, he didn’t do anything to you!” a beautiful young SeaWing with a pearl necklace walked up to Isthmus and yanked him away. “Sorry about that Trench.” she said. “It is I who should be sorry your highness.” Trench said with a bow. “Oh don’t be silly. You didn’t do anything.” the princess said kindly. “Well your Highness, I’m sorry to rush but we’d best get back to your room in the Deep Palace before the queen has my head.” Trench made a slici

ng motion across his necc. The princess giggled. “You always make me laugh Trench.” they talked (or glowed, should I say?) as they walked/swam back to the princess’s room that Trench was supposed to be guarding, although he never really did guard the room as the princess would ask him to come inside and talk until the queen or someone swam by. This time the young princess did not want to sit and talk. Once they were back in her room, she instantly pulled Trench in. “Trench, do you know what that meeting is about?” she asked. “No-” “Shhhhh!” she shushed him. “Queen Coral has got news that there is someone out to get her.-” “really wh-” “SHHHHHH!” they sat in silence for a moment. She then pulled him into another smaller room. “Do you know what is hidden in the ruins of the Summer Palace?” she asked quietly.

Trench thought for a moment and then grabbed the princess, taking her deeper into another room where no light could reach. “You Highness, I must insist that we move to more secrecy, and forgive me for my shortness, but what do you know of it?” he asked politely. “Only that something invaluable is hidden there. The queen told me about it when she saw that I was the next heir. She says we are the only ones who know about it, and that if it were to fall into the wrong claws, it could destroy everything.” she said. “Do you know if this mutanist is looking for it?” he asked, eyes sallow and worried. Her face turned suddenly grim. “Y-Yes.” they stared at each other for a split second before hearing a splash. “The queen! Get back to your post!” they rushed hurriedly out of the cave and made it to their usual spots just in time.

“Ah, Trench, you always do such a good job of guarding this room. Now, I need you to report any strange activity around here, and if you fail to let me know, you can say goodbye to your pretty little claw.” she said intensely, then walked away. That night as Trench returned to his den he was tackled by 3 dragonets. “Trench!” they all screamed. “Come here Trench I want to lick you!” said the biggest one. “Yeah, you taste like anemones!” the smallest one said. “Murex! Pond! Key! Get off of your cousin before you suffocate him.” a tall SeaWing came out from a different room. She walked over to the laughing dragonets and yanked them off. “Hey! How did it go today?” she asked, helping Trench to his claws. “Fine, but I need to tell you something very important.” The tall SeaWing could see the sorrow in his eyes. She followed him to a dark, tight cellar. “There is a mutanist in our midst.” the tall SeaWing’s eyes grew dark too. She knew what that meant. “They want the queen dead. And…” he paused for a second

“They know about it.” she lowered her head. She had suspected so. “Sis, I think it is time.”
