Why isn't she getting it? Gill thought impatiently. " are you saying NAP? No... NAM?" Tsunami asked. Gill shook his head again. He wrote the word NAME again, and this time tsunami caught before it dissolved in scribbles, lines, and squiggles. "NAME!" She suddenly cried. "Yes! My name's gill!" He tried to yell, but his words never came out. His mouth just moved with no sound. He took the stick, and frustrated, he wrote "gill" in HUGE letters. Tsunami stated each letter before they disappeared. " G...I....L....L. Is that your name? Your name is...Gill?" He nodded. Yes, finally! He thought excitedly. Tsunami thought to herself for a minute, while gill went to lie down in the banks of the sea. Gill got up and stretched his wings up to the sky. The bright yellow sun flared over top of the sea, and cast a reflective look on the ocean surface. The sun was at its highest point in the sky that indicated it was almost midday. He took a quick glance back at tsunami who was picking at the edge of her leaf, thinking.

 Gill turned and strode out into the sun, to a shallow spot on the surface of the ocean floor. The water was just shallow enough her that he could lie down, but keep his head out of the water, on the sand, in the sun. Ahhhhhh, the sun, the water, the other seawings! I never ever got to slip into the sea and nap on the sand in the sky kingdom. Stupid scarlet. Enchanting me. I wonder if coral still alive. Or if my daughter anemone actually hatched. At least she couldn't enchant me to not laugh either. I was too fast for  "oh great pyrite". ha! Thought  gill sadly. tsunami got up and ran over to him. "Where do you think your going?" She asked. Gill pointed at water and ran towards it before tsunami could stop him. He laughed out loud, and ducked into the water. He kicked backwards in the water and looked up only to see tsunami cannonball into the ocean, in a flurry of bubbles. Tsunami laughed under water, sending so many bubbles up to surface, that gill couldn't even see her face. "You can laugh!?" She asked in aquatic. He nodded.

 Tsunami ducked her head out of the water and asked "can you speak?" Gill slowly shook his head and a tear ran down his cheek. He ducked his head as tears began to flow out of his eyes in a rhythmic flow. He leaned forwards into tsunami's chest and cried, sending warm flowing water down her neck and into the water. Tsunami placed her arms around the green dragon to hold him close. His face leaned against her stomach and she said, holding back tears, "you look...a lot like my father. But he died in scarlet palace 20 years ago". Gill placed his hands on her chest and leaned into her, as if to say sorry. he didn't know why but, He felt like some sort of connection with this dragon. She looked so much like coral. oh, coral how I miss you. Gill thought, a tear slowly sliding down his snout. She quickly looked down at his face and rubbed the tears away. "Gill.." she began.. "I have to take you to the queen. She will know what to do with you. I...I... just..." she said, trailing off. 

Gill's snout nodded towards hers causing it to press against her face. Tsunami shook her head, as if refreshing her expression, then she looked down to smile at gill. "let me take you to the queen. If you don't mind." Gill smiled and nodded. "alright come." she said diving into the water. Gill nodded and leaped in after her. Tsunami tail thwacked the water as she propelled herself foreword. Her wings found a current and they spread open to catch the current. Gill did the same, flaring his wings open. Tsunami scales flashed, sending him the signal for "were heading for the deep place". Tsunamis wings tilted upwards, and Gill saw her luminescent scales flash to speak to him. Gill froze when he spotted the patterns on her wings. They were... shapes that looked like talon prints spreading outwards in a burst, like water splashing out on to the wings. Gill snaked his neck into the curve of his wing to see his swirled patterns but just underneath the small outbursts by his chest were talon prints. Just Like tsunami's. 

Those prints signalled that he had mated with a dragon who had those prints on her wings. But those prints... their royal. Coral was royal. That's how I got mine. But how did tsunami get hers? Is she? She can't be... no coral would recognize his face, let alone his name. so who is this dragon? She old enough to be at  least 25. So who could she be...? Gill thought, trying to remember who was related to coral. Gill suddenly remembered coral's second daughter. A shudder ran through him when he remembered his first stolen daughter. The one stolen for the prophecy. Could this dragon be...my long lost daughter?
