Beyond the Oceans

Prologue,
A patrol marched on in the more mountainous areas. The 5 Avium guards flew up out of the trees soar up high to gain a higher view of the area. "Spot anything?" Asked a low voice, "No sir" Responded one of the guards. "Be careful. The Vronti could come any second." Said the reddish dragon, he whipped his hooked snout looking around the area carefully. One of the guards laughed in a confident voice, "Don't worry! Am SURE we can take on a few Vronti soldiers, after all, there is a lot of us a few of them." The seeming leader of the patrol grunted, making a stern face and was about to talk when interrupted by, 10 Vronti soldiers. "Greetings, a few Avium soldiers." He cackled. The Avium patrol leader growled softly, holding up his spear and directing it at the enemy patrol. "Now now, no need to get so defensive!" He chuckled, "Or maybe there is. After all, there are 10 of us and," The soldier paused smiling maliciously, "3 of you." The two other soldiers looked around them, and the cackling Vronti had been right, their other part members had disappeared! "You sniveling snake." The Avium soldier snarled. "Guards, capture them." The Vronti soldier said flicking her tail and smirking at the Avium leader, "Bye, bye!"

Chapter 1, Memory
Beta looked into the mirror adorned with pearls and sapphires; her dresser overdid it. She touched the many pearl necklaces on her neck and legs, shining in the light of her room. It was beautiful, yes but it reminded of "The crime." Or so she called it, the night when her father died. Just the thought made her break down into sorrow and grief; it was never a pleasant feeling reliving that event. She had detached herself from everything that reminded her of him, even some hobbies. It just reminded too much of her dear father. The grief and anguish of her mourning could fill the whole palace. But it had been one long ago, why did she still hold the event in her mind? Why was she still surrounding herself with all sadness and tears just the memory cause?

The answer, unknownst before the tears and sobs began, her uncle entered the room. "Beta, its time for the dinner." He called, the elegantly masculine figure of Uncle Prihana leaning in the doorway. One thing Beta never and wouldn't do if she had the choice was showing emotion. Emotions are what can make a dragon weak. Feelings can break one's function to act perfectly in the public eye. "Oh yes!" She said softly. Her voice had always been soft and squeaky. After all, she was, soft and weak or at least she thought she was. The colorful Thalassa princess walked through the beautiful sea blue hallways.

Portraits of past rulers could be seen as they walked through the Thalassian palace. She entered the dining hall where Queen Thunderclap and her mother. Queen Reef, were sitting. "Greetings, my dear. Take a seat." Her mother seat with the usual grace in her voice. "Yes, mother." Replied Beta, she quietly took a seat two seats away from her mother. Queen ThunderClap continued with her conversation with the Thalassian queen. "So far after the battle at the border, we seem to be doing quite well. Wouldn't you agree with that, Queen Reef?" Asked Thunderclap, the Vronti queen was sleek not very muscular yet mostly imitating with her large mane and wicked sharp claws
