~ Under the Mountains: The Untold Tales of the DoD~

The dragonets of destiny. We all know them. But do we really know them? What were they like before they left the caves? Who were they really? What is the truth?
Chapter 1. Egg Stealers.
It was night time. Darkness filled the air, filling the air and blanketing the earth. The waves crashed upon the beaches, beating a steady rhythm in the silence. The seawing was alone, on the sand, watching the tide. He drew in a deep breath, filling his lungs with the salty air. The waves lapped at his feet, whispering to him to follow them as they receded from the coast, back to the deep ocean. The seawing obeyed. Diving into the shadowy, cool water, and relishing the flow of the sea, smooth against his seaweed green scales. Enveloped by the shade, he made his way deeper, longing tugging at his heart all the way. Longing to stay in the depths of the tantalising waters forever, to go back home. But he knew that would be impossible. Especially once he had completed his task. A sudden flash of luminescent blue in the water just beside him was his only warning as another Seawing grasped him and held him up close by the neck. 
'Webs. Why have you come? You were banished.'
the scales flashed and the Seawing narrowed her eyes. Webs gulped and struggled. A plume of red appeared like smoke in the water between them as he raked his claws down her side. She let out a torrent of bubbles from her mouth, her eyes turning wide with fear as she let out a silent cry of pain. Webs stared in dismay at her. 
'Lapis... No... I'm so sorry...'
his neon green scales glowed panickedly, and he reached out for the other seawing, pain and a glint of love in his eyes. A glint of wide shone behind his shoulder and Lapis convulsed in fear, gargling blood. The shark struck Webs on the wingblade, tearing him away from Lapis. A scream could be heard echoeing through the silent waters as the shark snapped at the other seawing. Webs shed a tear, one that immediately vanished into the water, then turned his back as Lapis lit up her scales one last time, swimming further into the depths of the ocean.
The silence was almost unbearable for him, and he watched his surroundings so very carefully, not wanting to harm another seawing. Soon, he could just make out the palace in the dark waters. He swam towards it slowly and carefully, and slipped into one of the many entrances. He was silent as he sneaked past the sleeping guards and towards the hatchery. He saw Pool, Lapis's sister, guarding the hatchery, and a lump rose in his throat. He had harmed her family enough already... But he knew he had To do it. He crept last her and picked up a beautiful blue egg, shining slightly in the darkness. Webs paused and swallowed a lump in his throat. He remembered his own egg, still sitting in the hatchery. He knew he might never see it hatch, never know the dragonet that would come out of it. He knew it was too late for any of that. He turned To leave, but stopped as he saw the dragon looming in front of him. 
''Pool... 'What are you doing here?'
 He flashed To her with his scales. 
'I guard the hatchery. I should be asking you what you are doing here.'
 she flashed back. She looked him up and down. '
You know... I don't think I want to know. I saw how you and my sister behaved around each other. I can see what you are to her. I will pretend I never saw you. Go, before what I am doing for you is wasted. After this, I hope I never have to see you again.'
 Pool turned and swam away from the entrance to the hatchery, letting Webs out with the egg. He paused, wanting to say thank you, but her head was turned away and he knew he had To hurry. Clasping the egg tight, he swam away from the Seawing palace.
