The Missing Princess - A Tragic Tale

Based on Coral's The Missing Princess, with different characters.
== Prologue ==
A small, sea-blue egg was nestled perfectly in its seaweed bed, its shell still smooth. The dragonet inside was unaware of the traitorous blue talons that grabbed it, lifting it up and pulling it closer.
Only a monster would steal an egg, but that was just what the thief was. A cowardly, dark-hearted thief who had always been jealous of her queen, Abyss, and hoped that, by stealing her egg, she could control the dragonet inside, surely.
There were no guards who were awake at the time, because the jealous SeaWing had poisoned them, and it would be long before any dragon discovered their bodies.
Quick as a dolphin, the thief slipped out of the hatchery the same way she got in; the secret entrance. With her tail closing the hatch behind her, she was long gone.
It wasn't until Abyss had defeated the attacking SkyWings when she decided to check up on her precious daughter. Sliding the door open without a sound, she poked her head in the hatchery.
Her glittering purple eyes widened in fear and surprise at what she'd seen. There was no egg, it was gone. The guards were dead. Abyss swiftly swam into the council room, rapidly approaching her small podium and sitting beside it, narrowly avoiding crashing into the stand instead. The council would gather any minute, and she would deliver the news of her daughter's kidnapping.
Her husband, Achelous, poked his head into the room, his eyes locking onto hers as he swam in the room, sitting beside her.
"Is everything alright?" He asked, his bioluminescent scales flashing to communicate what he'd said.
"No, no, no! It's not alright!" Abyss replied with her scales, her talons slamming onto the podium and cracking it a little. "Our daughter was kidnapped!"
The rest of the council swam in, their expressions revealing that they had seen what Abyss had said. 
"Who stole her?" Achelous asked, his pale green wings spread out in alarm. 
"It was that traitor," Abyss replied, bubbles rising from her mouth as she growled. "Otter."
"Why would Otter risk her life just to steal an egg?" Leatherback, a large gray SeaWing and Abyss's favorite son asked, his talons clenched in rage.
"To control the dragonet inside, in hopes of her becoming queen one day," Abyss replied, her gaze drifting away from Leatherback as she slid her deep blue scales over the cracks on her podium mindlessly. "And to gain the best chance of getting back with my husband, Achelous. She loved him even when they broke up."
"I'm so sorry." Krill placed one talon on Abyss's shoulder, wrapping her tail around her queen's. "Altamaha, can you send out some patrols to search for Otter? Patrol both the skies and the seas, and if you don't find her, search on land."
Altamaha nodded, darting out of the room.
