Chapter Text
The night was as peaceful as you would expect it to be, the deep blue waves lapped over the tightly packed sand, the three moons shone brightly in the sky, all three were full, bioluminescent plankton lit every wave with a stunning blue glow that even made the stars shine brighter.
A midnight black dragon zipped past at the speed of a flying arrow.
As the nightwing flew as fast as her wings would take her, she tightened her grip on the egg within her grasp, it was a bright silver with tropical blue and bright pink swirls, the preborn dragonets inside squirmed unhappily at the movement.
“Only a few more miles..” Starseeker murmured to the egg.
The egg, her egg contained two hybrids, if only Seahorse got to see their egg..
She shoved away the thought into the back of her mind, not now, maybe after she was done escaping the pursuing seawing guards.
She flapped once, twice, three times, the guards seemed to disappear entirely.
There was a silence that she couldn't help but be nervous about, the birds chirped and the waves lapped with no care in the world.
But as soon as she thought she was safe, a scaly blue form leapt out from the water below and dragged her into the salty depths.
Her eyes stung.
She was breathing water.
She squirmed for not just her life, but for the egg, she was dragged back to the shore, although being pinned down by two seawing guards.
The seawing queen loomed over her, her enormous blue wings flared angrily, she wrenched the egg from Starseeker’s claws,earning a squeak of terror from Starseeker.
“What. is. This.” Queen coral deadpanned, glaring at the egg like it insulted her writing.
“LET THEM GO!” she bellowed, lashing out at the guards pinning her, only to get her snout shoved into the sand further.
“You corrupt one of my princes, convince him to run away with you only to get him captured, and you still think you can tell me what to do?” the queen mused in a cold and dangerous tone.
Only a muffle hidden by the sand came out when she tried to respond.
“Although, you've given me a brilliant scroll idea!”
She felt a spark of hope for a moment.
“Because of this, I will give you a quick death, guards, snap her neck.”Queen coral ordered.
This was it.
It was over.
Her dragonets were doomed.
She failed as a mother.
{***}
The first thing Mabel knew was the other Dragonet beside her in the dome of darkness.
Big dragons roaring could be heard from outside the dome, she only knew one thing.
She wanted out.
She scrabbled at the dome’s walls, testing her new claws on them.
Then she bashed her head against the wall.
Once.
Twice.
CRACK!
Lightness creeped into the dark dome, her instincts told her that was good.
With a final hit from her tail, the large crack exploded into a massive hole in the big dome, she stumbled into the soft but gritty stuff below.
The first thing she noticed when she was in the light was the three massive white orbs in the sky.
They sent a tingling feeling through her scales, then the weirdness started happening.
A big blue dragon was upset, imagining a round silver, blue and pink dome being crushed, the two smaller green dragons were regretful and guilty, thinking of a black dragon with their head on the wrong way. She didn't know how she knew, but she felt it.
But the voice that was strongest panicked, and was located in the dome.
Instinct guided her to hobble over to the broken dome, putting all her weight on it and tipping the weird thing over.
A sputtering blue and black hatchling flopped out of the egg, too weak to get to his feet.
Then she saw the weird stringy membrane around his neck.
Wrong, her instincts screamed.
She gnawed at the membrane the best she could, even knowing their only connection was sharing an egg, she could sense he was going to be important.
The stringy stuff snapped after much effort, and the little blue dragonet gasped for air, she noticed the dragon’s right eye was a pure glowing white, just like the three orbs in the sky.
Loud enough to catch the big dragon’s attention.
She squealed in surprise as a pair of talons gripped her and lifted her into the air. She could sense that this dragon wasn't mother, she was dangerous.
She squawked with both fear and anger as she scratched at the blue dragon’s claws and gnawed on their scales.
The dragon hissed in annoyance.
“I’m surprised they even hatched..” the blue dragon hissed in a language Mabel could not understand yet.
Mabel tried her best to replicate the blue dragon’s hisses and roars, making them angrier than her reference, maybe that would scare off the bad dragon..
they only laughed in her face.
“Well, aren't you a clever one..” the blue dragon mused, fondness bleeding in her voice.
Mabel glared into the blue dragon’s eyes for what seemed like forever, then the silence broke.
“Spare the lizards, we can pass them off as weird seawings to the public, name them whatever, it’s up to you, I don't care” the blue dragon ordered.
Before she could wiggle more, she and the black and blue dragonet were passed into the green dragon’s arms.
As she looked into her sibling’s non-white eye, she knew one thing.
She would never be alone.
