"Thalassa. Are you ready?" A male called.

"Coming father!" She replied.

The royal blue dragonet took a look at herself as an angelfish swam by her neck. Her cornflower blue underbelly shining under the sun rays. Her piercing yellow eyes struck the fish, as it swam closer to her face. She swiftly used her flowing tail, to boost her in the water, as she bolted out of the curtained deck she had been calling her room since she was a young hatchling. Her father was waiting on the lower floor. His Prussian blue scales shimmering under the sun, his navy blue underbelly attracting a few fish, as they swam by. He swatted a few away with his flowing tail.

"The fish like you this morning." Thalassa teased

"The Night Kingdom's Queen has asked us to meet with her. She has a special prince she'd love us to acquaint with. It would be good for you to meet him. You may even get along with him. He was recently found in the Desert Kingdom, with outsiders, so I'd advise you to be gentle with him, and not throw him across the room as a greeting. The medics there are currently assisting him in the recovery process." He explained, ignoring her comment.

"I could never." Thalassa gasped.

She quickly flexed her wings, her glowing spots on the inside flashing.

He nodded.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what does she call you, so I don't get confused." She asked.

"Enkai. It's my birth name, and the royal name she gave me was 'Enyo' . It was a beautiful name on her behalf." Enkai said.

"And her son?" She asked.

"Hide Yashira. I heard he has my scales. The color, I mean." He said.

"Uh huh.. Okay, well what can I do there?" Thalassa pressed.

"Hang out with the prince, and his medic while we talk? It should be a three day trip, with one day, to roam around the city, collect new water, chat with the locals, maybe even bring the prince along." He replied.

Enkai quickly shot himself out of the kelp flaps on the stone doorway. Thalassa followed after.

In a few moments, the two Wave'eyes were in the sky, their wet scales shimmering even brighter as they flew. Thalassa hadn't really used her wings outside of water, and she felt heavy, like she was being pulled back into the ocean.

"Father! Why hadn't you taken me out of the sea sooner? It's so heavy out here!" Thalassa complained.

"It was essential that you grew underwater, so you knew how to get around. Now that you're four years of age, I can take you out safely, with guidance." Enkai replied.

Thalassa grew quiet, as to not disturb her father with the outrageous questions she had. The more they flew, the better she felt. She began doing small aerial tricks, like loops and drops. She took a moment to look out over the horizon. She noticed the shape of a palace spire, unlike any other she'd seen before.

"If you're wondering, different kingdoms look different. They have different traditions, and different customs. Some have prisons, while others remain as peaceful as they've always been. Some have lavish palaces, while others have Kingdoms have small exteriors, and giant interiors. Every kingdom is different, and unique. You must be cautious not to offend anybody here, even if you hadn't meant to do so. Simply apologize and move on, copy?" Enkai asked.

"Copy that!" Thalassa called.

After an hour or so of more flight, Enkai cupped his wings to his body, causing him to fall toward the gate on shore. He quickly pulled himself back up, then dropping, landing on his talons. He had done the same when they were underwater in the past, but it looked so different when he was compelled forwards by gravity instead of his tail. Thalassa simply folded her wings in, causing her to sink out of the air, and quickly making her way to the gravel path below.

Thalassa made a suitable entrance, and stood next to her father, looking up at a young dragonet, maybe a few years younger than her. She was standing on her hind legs, with iron armor that looked too heavy for her body, and was holding herself up with an odd- looking spear. She was obsidian black, with white spots along her snout, and the inside of her wings. When Thalassa looked closer, she noticed that the Dragonet's spots on the inside of her wings, looked like a portal to the night sky

"Wow, you're wings are beautiful.." Thalassa said, marbling at the dragonets wings.

"Thank you, ma'am. Are you new around here?" She asked.

Thalassa nodded.

"Get ready to be a lot more surprised at everyone else's wings. They look just like mine, but some have varying stars, or some even have shooting star patterns." She informed her.

Thalassa's eyes lit up with excitement, before she got pulled by her father's tail.

"Bye! Have a good time in the Kingdom Of Moon!" The dragonet called.

Thalassa looked around, seeing the old architecture around her. The buildings all had a black frame, with light gray walls. The roofs were a blue-gray, and the walls had lanterns hanging from the frame, which had been extinguished. At the center of it all, Thalassa was floored by the Silverstone castle standing in front of her. The black padded doors, that were lined with silver, made her gasp. There was a fountain in front of it, and the cobblestone ground had shifted to colored brick that made the pattern of the night sky.

An unfamiliar dragon hovered in front of Enkai. He was large, with Indigo eyes that could pierce the skull if you crossed him the wrong way.

"Your former highness. It's a pleasure to have you back. Is this your heiress?" He asked.

Thalassa stood for a moment, his voice sending chills down her spine.

"This is Thalassa, we have a three day meeting with the Queen." Enkai said.

"I see. I shall notify the Queen. KIRA." The dragon called.

A thin, dark dragonet, with fizzed splotches of gray came from behind him. Unlike the large male, the scrawny one came walking.

"Kira, please escort these two into the castle. You'll have to fly to reach the lever." He said, shooting himself off into an open palace window.

The scrawny dragonet held his head high, despite looking anxious.

"If you need help, I'd be glad to help.. Kira?" Thalassa offered.

"No need, princess. You're a royal guest here. I can't accept help, Arison would probably kill me." He said.

"What he doesn't know, won't kill him." She offered again.

"Thalassa, that's enough." Enkai barked, shooting a warning glance.

Kira looked at the two of them back and forth, before leading them to the large, black padded door.

Kira gracefully flew up, fixing the lever down. Soon enough, the doors began opening, with loud creaking noises, like the door's mechanics hadn't been oiled in centuries.

"Right this way." Arison spat.

Thalassa followed her father, before getting distracted by a beautiful feathered dragonet around her age. She had space blue feathers, with a black undertone, and a strap along her neck, holding talismans inside of them. Thalassa couldn't help but follow. The dragonet was going down a hallway, illuminated by hanging silk-worms. She followed in the dim light for a moment, before watching her open a door with one talon. Thalassa quickly flew in after her, as the door slowly closed.

"Hide, I'm back. I brought some blankets, and some pillows with me! Have you figured it out yet?" She asked.

"Not yet-" The male in the room cut off, before looking straight at Thalassa, with anger in his eyes.

She felt her eyes widen, as she looked at him. He was beautiful. Prussian blue scales, a black underbelly, and killing pastel blue eyes. His horns made him look majestic, against his flowing tail, like hers.

"I-" She tried.

The male snapped, seemingly trying to charge at her, but got yanked back by the chain around his back leg. He fell back, whimpering.

"How did you get here?" He groaned.

"I followed her.. I'm here with my father, on the Queen's orders. Uh.. Enkai?" She offered.

"Enkai's here? I thought he was banished.." The female dragonet said.

"Well, mother didn't want him around, she crossbred with him. Twice. She was hoping to get the mixed color, and power of both Kingdoms. I was the success. After the first one hatched a few months before me, and didn't show the combined power possibilities, she sent him back to his original kingdom with his daughter." Hide explained.

Thalassa jaw dropped.

"Would you like to introduce yourself?" The female asked.

"I would like that. She's an intruder." Hide said, huffing out smoke.

"My name is Thalassa. I'm from the ocean."

"I'm Tsuki, and this is Hide, Prince of the Night." Tsuki introduced, flapping her wings to make a light breeze hit Hide's face.

"I'll say, you two are beautiful." Thalassa said.

"Thalassa! Thalassa, where did you go!?" Enkai called.

A few others joined into him, calling her name. The layered echoing sounds of her name filled the room, until they stopped.

A click came from the door, and Enkai flew in; upon seeing Thalassa, he took her into his wide wings, his body's luminescent patches flashing at her. She nodded, and her spots flashed as she nodded over to Tsuki and Hide.

"Dad?!" Hide called.
