Amias dove into the water below from the higher up islands of Ataraxia, swimming down to the bottom and going still, watching the many tropical fish swim passed Amias in a hurry, shoals and schools breaking up at the Ardoni's disturbance. He gasped happily but sputtered and coughed as water filled his longs and he quickly swam up the the surface, gasping as something dove in beside him, a loud scream coming from the cross-clan.
"Look out!"
A female voice shouted from above and Amias suddenly dove away as another dove into the water, the two of them coming up and laughing at the poor terrified cross-clan. Amias huffed at the two other Ardoni,
"You guys are terrible!" Amias snickered, rolling his eyes as he swam over.
"Hey at least I gave you a warning unlike Trash Man over there," The female ardoni stated, gesturing to the Clanless male ardoni with Racoon like patterns,
"Well At least I didn't jump right over him!"
Genji retaliated, unaware he'd done such a thing, nearly kicking Amias's face in the process.
"Yes you did!"
The female Kaltaris exclaimed.
They began to bicker, blaming each other for nearly knocking their cross-clan friend out before Amias finally spoke up.
"Genji! Eira! It's fine! I'm fine! Now come on, now's the time to enjoy our day." Amias dove into the water below, The two Ardoni following quickly after him.
Below them beautiful coral reefs housed many exotic fish and lifeforms, a large green turtle swimming passed them and away, two small turtles following in tow. Genji gasped at this, thus making the same mistake as Amias had and having to swim back up to the surface.
Eira and Amias gave each other a look and snickered to each other, happily continuing on with their swim around the reefs, Amias diving down to explore more closely, swimming through a hole in the reef and coming back up, staring at Eira with a grin.
The Kaltaris snickered and turned to see Genji had finally come back down and followed right after Amias, both of them swimming off and causing Eira to groan and try catch up.
When all three of them resurfaced they were met with a distant roar of a Dragon who spotted them,
"Oh, there's Luna! Does that mean Queen Abbigail is here?" Genji asked, watching the large dragon stare at them from the shore, seeming rather playful today.
"Come on! Let's go say Hi!" Genji urged them on and began to swim away, Eira following after quite quickly well Amias just sort of stared for a while, slowly making his way after them once he made his decision.
The three Ardoni made it to shore, The clanless and Kaltaris both going over to Luna and saying high, giving her a couple scratches here and there.
"Amias Sendaris, Haven't seen you since the war!" Abbigail chimed as she walked over to the ardoni, giving him a small handshake.
Amias only chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, "yeah, It has been some time hasn't it..."
Abbigail nudged him, reassuring him she had no hard feelings towards him,
"So you've been keeping hidden here well they rebuilt?"
"Yeah, Me, Genji and Eira live near the outskirts, I try not to to too involved publicly, I made quite the reputation for myself." He turned his head up at the floating islands and furrowed his brows.
" 'Quite' is an understatement, But, At least you're not known as a terrible person, aye?"
Amias shrugged and managed to crack a smile, turning to Luna, Genji, and Eira watching them continue to fool around and play.
"I think you for giving me another chance, I don't think I'd be here if it weren't for you..." He gave Abbigail an appreciative nod, to which she returned.
"Everyone has their story, and yours lead you down that path... Come on Luna! We gotta get going!" Abbigail stepped away from Amias and he sighed, placing his hands on his hips and turning back to the water, taking her words into account.
