Wings of Fire: The Fallen Heirs

Chapter Fifteen

Clay smiled, looking at the Seawings Summer Palace. It wasn't hidden like it had been during the war, and it had been rebuilt after it was destroyed. Now, Clay and Tsunami landed, ready to warn Queen Coral.

A dark blue Seawing ran over to greet them. "Hello, my name is Flounder. I'm sorry to say that Queen Coral is in the Deep Palace at the time, but I'll be happy to lead you to the pavilion. Her majesty shall be hear by the time the sun has set." Flounder waved for them to follow him, and they followed him up.

"Um, do you have any food by chance? I'm starving." Clay smiled, a little embarrassed. "It's okay if you don't."

Flounder shook his head as they landed. "Nonsense, her majesty keeps all her guests as happy as possible at all times. I'll go get some seals and squid." Then, Flounder flew off, only for Anemone to fly up, waving at Tsunami.

"Hey Tsunami! How's it been going?"

Tsunami smiled, waving back. "Oh not much. Just fighting monsters and saving the world. The usual."

Anemone sighed and scowled as she landed. "Curse the sea dragons your life is so much more interesting than mine."

This made Tsunami laugh. "Every year your older you seem to talk more and more like me. Don't worry, I'll try and give you some battle training while mother isn't looking. Besides, do you really want to get nearly murdered like me everyday?"

Anemone cringed. "Maby not everyday..."

Tsunami laughed even more.

Flounder flew back, carrying two small couldrens carefully, and then set them both in front of Clay. He immediately blew fire in both of the couldrens, and then shoved his face in the one with the squid and began eating. I forgot how good the seafood is here! I love seafood!!!!!!

Flounder sat down, waiting for Queen Coral. "So what do you have to talk to mother about?", Anemone asked.

Tsunami frowned, while Clay lifted his head, found that the couldren was stuck, and started shaking his head back and forth. "Jade Mountain is being attacked by Blisters ghost or something. The Scorpion Den is already demolished, and I'm worried that the Seawings will be effected soon too." Flounder ran over to Clay and grabbed onto the rim of the couldren, and started tugging. It finally came off, sending Flounder sailing through the air. There was a splash as he landed in one of the pools below the pavilion.

Anemone had a startled expression. "How did Blister come back. If she's a ghost, how are you going to kill her. You know, since she's already dead. I should use my animus magic."

Tsunami gave her sister a serious face. "Thank you for the offer Anemone, but I don't want you loosing your sole. Besides," she said, taking on a heroic stance and and a smug, "heroic" face. "We're the legendary invincible Dragonets of Destiny. What's the worst that could happen?"

"Thanks Flounder," Clay said, rubbing his nose. Then, he sniffed the air. The trees are burning. Suddenly, Clay grabbed Flounder, Tsunami, and Anemone, and ducked as low as he could.

"Clay what are you doing?!?!", Tsunami asked, furious. She tried pushing him off, but he didn't budge. All of the sudden, a burst of fire fell from the sky hitting Clay in his back. Around them, the trees began burning as yellowish white statues began falling into the palace, and the dragons there began screaming and yelling.

Clay winced, a burning pain going down his spine, and he leaped off the ground, into the gut of the statue in front of him. The went sailing through the air, and then crashed into a tree with a snap. Clay grabbed the statues head, and then held its head under the water, pinning it on the ground. To his relief, it slowly stopped moving. "The lava in them hardens when it's in water!" He jumped up as Flounder, Tsunami, and Anemone flew down, avoiding the burning leaves and branches that were falling.

Flounder looked in every direction, wearing a horrified expression. "Three moons not again! I was here when the Summer Palace burned, and now it's happening again!"

Tsunami shook Flounder by the shoulders, and then smacked him. "Flounder! I need you to go tell my mother that we're going back to the school. Tell her what's happening okay? We're going, now!!!"

Anemone followed them, glancing back as the statues attacked anyone in line of sight. Is it gonna be any better, because right now it's looking pretty bad here."

All of the sudden, a metallic figure leaped out of a small river, pulling Clay under the water before he could do anything. His sight cleared, and he raced for the surface, but instead bumped into a thick layer of ice. What?!?! I thought it's supposed to be nice and warm here. How'd you do that?

Clay spun around, preparing to fight. His attacker looked like a large Seawing, but it was a silver color, and it seemed to have no scales, but instead a smooth surface that reflected the dim light coming from through the ice. It's eyes were cold blue sapphires Clay realized. Oh come on, now there are metal Seawing statues that want to eat us?!?! The Seawing statue charged at him, and gripped his throat, trying to squeeze all the air out of it. Out of its claws came a growing layer of ice, which started creeping up and down Clays neck. Cold, cold, cold!!!!!!!!! Clay whacked the statue in the side of its face, and got it to let go of him. He swam up, ramming his back into the ice. A few cracks formed, and he rammed into it again. I lost most of my air just now. I need to get out of here!
Clay dodged out of the way as the statue charged at him. It crashed into the ice, making a large hole. He grabbed the statues neck, tor it out of the hole, and leaped out, quickly letting go of the statue as he got out of the water. It was freezing!

Clay charged after Tsunami and Anemone, who stood nearby, starring at him. "Where'd you go Clay?" Before Clay could answer Tsunami, Tsunami saw the metal statue climbing out of the water. "What is that thing?!?!?!"

Clays teeth chattered as he talked. "Evil ice breathing Seawing statue. Can we go?"

They started running away, ready to jump into the air and fly off. "Awww, no hellos or goodbyes?" They all turned around. The statue had gained an unknown female voice, and wore a grin. "Come on don't be rude. I mean it would be nice after I've been murdered by my own mother, I've made a statue to kill her Dragonets, and then, after waking up after sooo many years, I find that my beautiful statue has been destroyed by one of my sisters." Her smile grew. "Can't an undead sis get a hug?"

Tsunami had a shocked expression. "Orca?" Then, she frowned, looking as if she was about to fight. "You're supposed to be dead!"

The new Orca statue yawned, taking a small step forward out of the water, looking elegant and deadly at the same time. "I could say the same about you too. But then, the moon forsaken Nightwings had to make a moon forsaken prophecy, that just made some silly peace dragons make you just, disappear..." She smiled again, taking another step. "I'll admit though, it's really fun to watch. Besides, two of my three sisters are so much like me! The third one is just adorable, isn't she?!?! And at the same time, one of my sisters gets to be a strong warrior, savior of the world, the strongest dragon alive, while the other has so much hidden potential with animus magic. I'm just so happy how this has all turned out!" She took another step forward, and everyone noticed how silent the palace had gotten, and how there were two more metal statues coming out of the water, while the Sandwing statues all hung back, pinning down unconscious Seawings and watching the conversation with wicked smiles on their faces. "So, any hugs from my sisters, or their big Mudwing friend?"

As all three of them leaped into the air, zooming out of the palace, they could here wingbeats behind them. "Awww, you guys are no fun!!!", Orca called to them with mock sadness in her voice.

I have enough fire, Clay thought. He spun around for a split second, blew a burst of fire in the Orca statues face, and then kept flying with Tsunami and Anemone, off into the cold night, back to Jade Mountain.
