Riptide was just finishing a talk with a member of The Talons of Peace when he swam into a SeaWing princess. She was Anemone's sister- the lost heir. Of course, he hadn't known she was a princess- he'd thought she was a spy. He knew something was off the instant he signaled to her in aquatic and she didn't respond with anything that made sense given the moment.
After a slightly confusing moment, he tried to be playful but she suddenly began attacking him. Fortunately the MudWing arrived, pulling the female away from him. He'd never thought he'd be happy to see a- wait. A MudWing??? He looked around the shore before being pulled into a cave by the SeaWing.
"Why is there a MudWing here?" He asked. "Are you spies?"
"No!" The SeaWing exclaimed ferociously. "We're the Dragonets of Destiny."
Looking around, Riptide noted that there were five dragons- the MudWing, the SeaWing, a SandWing, a NightWing, and a... a RainWing? Intrigued, Riptide asked the dragon, who he found out was named Tsunami, about her life. She said she was raised by two guardians: a dragon named Dune, and Webs: Riptide's father. This was enough to convince Riptide that Tsunami was the Lost Heir and not just a distant SeaWing relative of Queen Coral.
He decided to tell her later, since she was in the middle of explaining her life. In the meantime, she told him how the SkyWings had captured her and her friends: Clay, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny, from their home. It was strange that Tourmaline, a tough queen but a kind mother, had imprisoned the dragonets. Then again, they were at war, and in war sometimes a dragon would do strange things.
After Tsunami finished talking, Riptide decided to break the news. "Um, Tsunami?" Riptide asked. "Don't panic, but you might be the Lost Princess? Although don't get too excited, you have a sister named Anemone."
Tsunami's face went into shock, and the RainWing let out a laugh. Tsunami shook her head. "I mean, I totally guessed that by now." Riptide couldn't help but laugh as well. "Well, not the sister part. SOMEONE said I was the only living heir to the SeaWing throne!"
"You do mean that you read that theory in a scroll that Webs brought in?" Glory asked.
"Sorry, that scroll was outdated!" The NightWing protested.
"Sorry to interrupt this conversation, but I'm supposed to be on duty. So I can take you all to our Summer Palace. However, the MudWing, SandWing, NightWing, and RainWing must be blindfolded."
The NightWing pointed out that it was no use for him to blindfolded and the RainWing stated the same. The SandWing said it was completely fine and didn't seem to mind the blindfold at all. That left the MudWing, Clay, with a slimy blindfold.
When they arrived at the Summer Palace, the group was immediately greeted by Commander Shark. "Riptide?" He growled. "What are you doing away from your post? And why IS THERE A MUDWING?"
"Wait, I can explain!" Riptide said. I'm just trying to help Tsunami settle in well with her family, not start a fight. Especially not with Shark, of all dragons. Before he could continue, however, a SkyWing stepped forward from behind them. Shark instantly pointed his spear at the SkyWing.
"Don't move or speak! And you, Riptide, bringing a SkyWing? Riptide, you truly take after your father!" Shark hissed in annoyance. "You truly are a traitor."
Tsunami snarled at Shark. "We're the Dragonets of Destiny, and I'm the Lost Heir. So you can shut your mouth, squidbrain."
Shark narrowed his eyes. "I can see that you're at least related to the Royal Family- but the Dragonets of Destiny? Unlikely story. I see six dragons. Many make unreasonable claims."
Tsunami hesitated. "Actually, I've never seen the SkyWing before. She kind of just appeared."
"Precisely! Don't even have a SkyWing- wait. Then how in the three moons did she get here?!"
I made a big mistake. I removed Starflight a few days ago but because Clay was changed they didn't visit... 45HA'5 5!5+3r... um, technically they don't exist, since their name has never been mentioned. But anyways, I brought him back to the SeaWing palace. Let's just have everyone think he's been there. Go- why do I keep saying that -_-
