the lost heir: part one

Webs is in hiding from the Talons of Peace when they find him. They make him tell them exactly what happened, making sure his answers sound as bad as possible and damn him. Webs wants to rescue the dragonets, but he is told they might have already escaped. They ask Webs where the dragonets will go next, but he honestly has no idea. They tell him not to worry if they did die while trying to escape, they have a backup plan - one that does not involve him. They go to kill him when one of their own - a MudWing named Crocodile - attacks. Crocodile knocks out the other Talons of Peace and tells Webs to ask Queen Coral if he can return home. Webs is unsure, but hopeful, and leaves.

Tsunami and her friends are on the beach planning their next move. They intend to go to the SeaWing kingdom but they have no clue how to find the palace. Clay worries how they will all reach it since it will ne underwater, but Glory and Starflight point out that there is also an above water palace. As they debate what to do next they see some SkyWings coming their way.

Tsunami hides in the water, Clay in the mud, and the others in the trees. The SkyWings fly overhead and Tsunami thinks they are leaving until one breaks away and looks closer at the area they are hiding in. Afriad that he will spot her friends, Tsunami jumps out of the water attacking the SkyWing. Clay comes to her help and Tsunami drowns the SkyWing. But she feels bad and decides to save the SkyWing instead. To her relief Clay is happy with her decision. They bring the SkyWing to the surface so he can be tied up and left behind. Glory is furious with Tsunami. She feels Tsunami endangered them all by attacking the SkyWing. Unfortunately for Tsunami, all of her friends agree with Glory. They tie the SkyWing up as he wakes up. He asks them to let him go and Starflight uses this moment to tell the SkyWing that the dragonets are peaceful and merciful, much to the annoyance of his friends. The SkyWing disposed of, they leave.

The dragonets spend the next few days working their way towards the SeaWing kingdom. Tsunami struggles with the fact that she wants to lead her group and protect them, but they don't seem really interested in her leadership. Lately they have been listening to Starflight over her and that upsets her because she would do anything to protect them and keep them safe. One morning she wakes up before anyone else and decides to go for a swim. She sees another SeaWing in the water and decides to follow. The SeaWing seems to be meeting another dragon in secret. Tsunami waits for their meeting to be over before approaching. However, she is underwater and can't talk. She startles the other SeaWing, who runs away from her. As she chases him he crashes into a whale and she has to save him. She tries gesturing to the surface but he responds by flashing the lights on his scales at her. She tries to mimic what he does and he lunges at her, causing her to attack, panic, and run away. He follows her to the surface.

The other dragon catches up to Tsunami and after they talk they realize she doesn't speak Aquatic - which is how SeaWings communicate underwater by flashing the lights on their scales. As they talk he suddenly pushes Tsunami aside and attacks Clay. Tsunami stops him and Sunny tries to help her. Tsunami tells him they are the dragonets of destiny.

Things seem to be moving along pretty quickly. They have already found a SeaWing and revealed themselves as the dragonets of the prophecy. I do feel bad for Tsunami, though. Even though Webs raised her he never taught her their own language - which is something I imagine she would need to know. I wonder why he didn't. I really can't think of a logical reason.
