Webs- A Seawing egg of deepest blue

(Before Jade mountain, during war)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was flying over the sea, the smell of salt and fish filled my nose. I was searching, searching for scull island. Why? Because that was my new lookout. The day before, Queen Coral assigned me to a new place to watch for enemy attacks.
Scull rock was near he summer palace, so it was easy to bring my wife and my two year old son to live with me.

A dark object loomed out of the water below me, I tilted my wings and went into a dive. My wife Current followed, holding Riptide in her talons, we landed in one of the caves that represented the sculls eye.

It was cramped in the small cave, but it would have to do.

"Finally, we're here," Current sighed. She wasn't that happy with moving to this gloomy, dark place.

"It's only for a while," I wrapped my wing around her. "And I told you, you can live underwater with Riptide until I come home."

She turned to face me, "And I told you that I don't want to leave you, dear."

I ducked my head, I didn't want to drag my family into this.

"But if you were down there," I nudged her, "you could look for the deepest blue egg."

She faintly smiled. We were from the talons of peace, assigned to find the Seawing egg that fit the prophesy. But after that, I would have to live under the mountain for eight years, away from my family.

"Daddy?" Riptide spoke for the first time on the trip, "is this our new home?"

"Yes it is," I smiled.

As the sun started to disappear below the sea, I laid down beside Current who was curled around Riptide.

"Goodnight Webs," she yawned.

And that was the last thing I remember before I fell asleep

***

"Webs!" A deep voice hissed.

I jolted into consciousness.

"W-what?" I growled as I jumped up.

I saw a male Seawing, his scales were deep blue- Commander Shark.

"There's been a change of plans," he grunted, "Queen Coral is sending Barracuda instead."

"Oh," I was startled.

I couldn't see Current or Riptide anywhere as I looked around.

"I've already sent them back," He replied to my gesture of confusion, "your coming to the palace with me."

And with saying that he turned and leaped out of the cave, a splash said we were swimming. I dove out and into the ocean.

I let the cool salt water run through my gills. I lashed my tail back and forth, propelling me forward until I found a current. Angling my wings, I caught it, this would take us to the deep palace.

***

Shark and I shot out of the strong current, and into the Seawing kingdom.

'Follow' Shark signalled in aquatic.

'Okey' I replied.

We swam towards the palace. The massive structure built of coral was encrusted with emeralds, pearls and sapphires. When we were inside, we took a turn to the royal hatchery.

'Queen Coral had two more girl eggs' he flashed, 'we need more guards'

I nodded and looked inside, there were two eggs laying beside each other. One turquoise one and the other... the deepest blue egg I'd ever seen. That was the egg for the prophesy! They both glowed faintly, they were about to hatch in a few days.
