The moon's light danced in the water, making the once black rocks grow silver in the moon's light. Fish slept in the cracks of the rocks while others seemed to swim in a daze, even the sharks swum tiredly around the reef along the island.
A shadow loomed over the reef, causing the fish to scurry away, even the sharks moved quickly. A beast with a narrow snout, large bat-like wings, webbed talons, a webbed tail, and dark blue scales swum over the reef. The patterns along its scale were lit up, allowing the beast to see as it moved into deeper water where the moonlight hardly scraped the sandy floor. Ruins of marble structures were scattered about, overtaken by coral and barnacles. The beast weaved around them before coming to a large, round like, marble structure which was still intact with a few large holes in the top.
He swam up the structure before slipping into one of the holes, finding a large circular room with creatures just like him sitting in a large circle, seeming to be waiting for something. "Sorry, I am late. I needed to take care of something." He spoke in a rumble, taking a seat in an empty spot.
"I'm surprised you came at all Pacific." A white scaled creature spoke, her silver eyes looking over towards the large dark blue-scaled beast.
"Yes, weren't you supposed to look after the girl?" A navy blue scaled with glowing stripes questioned, placing his tail neatly over his talons as he spoke.
"She is currently in Atlantis, safe and sound." Pacific replied, sitting down on his hunches.
"Wasn't she supposed to come back to Atlantis in a year or so?" A coral colored dragon with a peach underbelly spoke, being much more lean than the others as well as her wings being more rounded, her orange eyes sparkling in confusion.
Pacific looked towards the orange eyed creature, "Supposed to yes, but the plan has changed. Confederate and Martial Law kidnapped her." Grumbles erupted in the circular room, as the creatures' eyes narrowed into slits. "Martial regretted his decision as for Confederate ... he took it a step further." Pacific spoke in a growl, baring his teeth as his eyes narrowed.
"We should end that coward's life once and for all!" A moss green creature hissed, speaking in an african accent, looking much more smaller than the rest despite her raising her head high. The others nodded and spoke words of agreement as their muscles tense.
Pacific slammed his tail against the ground, causing the entire area to shake, a few loose rocks falling down along with some sand, causing everyone to fall silent, looking over at the large dragon-like creature with wide eyes. "We will be doing no such thing, understand?" He growled, causing most of the dragon-like creatures to lower their heads, some nod slowly in response. "Besides, I think Confederate got the message after I broke a few of his ribs." Pacific spoke calmly, his eyes returning to normal as he spoke.
"At least you did something mate." A dragon creature spoke in an australian accent, giving a small nod towards the dark blue creature, her orange and blue striped scales glimmering in the dark. "I would've personally ripped an arm off but ... breaking 'is ribs is just as good." She added with an approving grin.
"So what are you going to do now?" The coral colored dragon questioned, tilting her head to the side slightly.
Pacific looked over towards the dragon, "Now, I will teach her a few things myself." I say, the other dragons nodding and letting out sighs of relief.
"So you finally revealed yourself to her?" The navy blue creature spoke, raising his head a bit higher as excitement sparkled in his eyes.
"Yay! I can finally sunbathe along the rocks!" The coral colored dragon spoke cheerfully, her tail starting to wag back and forth, almost like a dog's tail.
"How did she react when she saw you?" The white dragon-like creature questioned, a sly smile formed along her lips, looking up from her webbed talons. "I bet she was frightened by your huge, hulky appearance."
"Haha, very funny Arctic. She reacted the opposite in fact." Pacifc huffed, before he noticed the room has darkened greatly, looking up to see the moon wasn't directly above the room anymore. "It is time." Pacific spoke.
"Finally! This saltwater is making my scales itch." The moss green scaled creature spoke, scratching her neck with her talons. "See you all next year." She spoke swimming out through one of the large holes quickly.
"I need to get back to colder waters, I'm practically sweating here." Arctic spoke, swimming out of the room, eventually everyone left until it was only Pacific and the dark blue creature who both swam out together.
"I don't like how the currents have changed Pacific." The dark blue scaled creature spoke as he paced beside Pacific, an agitated look on his face.
"So you felt it too?"
"I have, and I don't like it." He growled, baring his teeth for a moment before relaxing. "Is it good or bad?"
"Only time will tell my friend." Pacific spoke, looking back out to the open water. "Only time will tell."
