“Hey Storm! You big piece of barnacle covered kelp! We are going to be late AGAIN unless you get your scaly butt out here RIGHT NOW!” Dolphin yelled. Dolphin was Storm’s slightly older brother, he was probably the the nicest/meanest seawing in all of Pyrrhia. But Storm didn’t mind his brother’s insults, he just went on tinkering with the waterfall that flowed into his bedroom. He had made his room out of a giant conch shell he’d found near the deep palace. “Hurry up squid face!”

Storm rolled his eyes,“COMING!” He ran to the first door in his room and used one of his ridged claws to unlock it. He shot out of his bedroom into the entryway where Dolphin sat, soaking from the ocean water. Dolphin was waiting there for him looking very anxious to go. His dark-blue scales were almost faintly red because of his anger.

“What took you so long?!” Dolphin shot.

“I was fixing my bedroom’s waterfall! I was late on fixing it because I had to patch the crack in the shell first! You know, the one you made when you rammed your tail into it?” Storm growled.

“Hey! You wouldn’t come out! Plus, I would think that your horns would pierce the walls eventually.” Dolphin sneered. Storm grunted, he hated when one of the SeaWings made fun of his IceWing-looking horns on his back. Ever since Storm had been a young dragonet, he had been teased and teased. But since him and his brother’s eggs had been found abandoned, the SeaWings had no idea where they came from, let alone whose eggs they were! Dolphin wasn’t necessarily Storm’s brother either, he hatched before Storm, but only a few months. The SeaWings had guessed that they had been laid by the same dragon, but they didn’t know for sure. That could explain their differences. Storm was a very light blue while Dolphin was a dark green. Storm also didn’t look exactly like a SeaWing either, his tail had spikes at the tip and his claws were ridged. He also had straight horns, and a lot of them. But, he did have gills, glow-in-the-dark spots, etc. that a SeaWing would have.

“Come on!” Dolphin opened his brother’s makeshift door and bolted out into the frigid ocean. Storm followed.

<Where are we going?> Storm flashed.

<To the palace,> Dolphin flashed back, <Coral called a meeting.>

<Can we stop by Waveslash’s place first?> Storm pleaded.

<No, we don’t have time,> Dolphin shot.

<Please?> Storm begged.

<No! Plus, he’s probably already at the palace. We’ll see him th-> Storm ignored the rest, swimming away faster than ever before. Though it had only been yesterday since he’d seen Waveslash, he couldn’t wait to see his best friend again. He propelled himself through the water, leaving the stunned Dolphin behind him. As soon as he reached the Deep Palace, he spotted Waveslash and raced towards him. Waveslash turned just in time to widen his eyes before Storm crashed into him, sending them both swirling through the water. In front of Queen Coral’s stand, there was a crowd of SeaWings so large that Storm guessed every one of them was there.

<Storm!> Waveslash flashed angrily but teasingly, <you piece of barnacle covered butt!>

<What?> Storm smirked.

Then a large banging vibrated through the water, the Queen had called the starting of the meeting.

<We have been invited to the War Ending Ceremony, a meeting to celebrate the end of the war. I have been in contact with the other Queens and we have decided to have one every year on the day our misery ended!> Coral flashed excitedly, a grumpy Anemone tied to her side, <Not only will we be able to see and interact with the other tribes in peace, but we will be able to see Princess Tsunami again! She has been working hard on the new school for dragonets, the Jade Mountain Academy! In fact, I got a message from her saying that there is a surprise for dragonets who want to have some excitement! But I can’t say any more, we meet here at dawn in two days to start our journey towards the Sand Kingdom, where the Ceremony will be held! Be prepared! I expect everyone to be there! Meeting dismissed!>
