Love Will Always Find A Way

=== Story Summary ===
Discontinued 
Two dragons in love. 
But love isn’t always easy. These dragons couldn’t be more different. One a SandWing animus living rough, another a beautiful SeaWing princess destined to be queen one day.
How can they be happy if they are not allowed to be together? Will they even be able to see each other?
==Prologue==
The screams were to much! The smoke, the fire, the chaos! Clam had to get a move on.
It was like the Sky was raining fire as the enemies the SkyWings threw down burning logs at the Summer Palace. One hit his tail tip and Clam roared in pain running for the water and dipping it in.
As he recovered and the burning sensation was almost gone in his tail he tried to search for Oceania but in the smoke he couldn’t see her. Which was a surprise for you’d think the golden sand and deep blue scales would have stuck out but there were so many dragons and smoke and parts of the building falling and burning in the way it was hard to figure out what the dragon two meters away from him looked like.
Clam took one more desperate look for Oceania then dived under the water's surface following all the other SeaWings into the hole leading from the Summer Palace to the ocean.
            *   *   *                                                                         
Clam’s body ached he’d searched every where for Oceania but couldn’t find her anywhere no matter how hard he looked, swimming all over the Kingdom of Sea. And now she suddenly sprung up here!
I am happy to see her but why now!? After I searched for her for weeks on end!?
”Are you OK?” Oceania asked in her soft voice that made you think of sparkles and happiness, but now it also sounded worried along with the other tones. “Didn’t you want to see me? Did I do something wrong?”
Clam looked into her eyes of course she’d done nothing wrong! She’s never done anything wrong! Well for Clam anyway. She was the best SeaWing princess to have ever lived!
“No! I’m the opposite I’m so happy to see you!” Cried Clam jumping up and throwing his wings around her. “I’m just shock- surprised you turn up now after I’ve been searching the whole kingdom for you.”
Oceania started at him. “You were looking.....for me?!”
He cocked his head. Why did she sound surprised? He wondered.
”Of course I was, why wouldn’t I be? I was looking for you ever since the attack,” Clam said, releasing her from his wings.
She smiled but said nothing he wondered what she was thinking. He wondered if she thought he was really weird, or that she was thinking about how she’d been searching for him too. But that did not matter live in the moment! She wasn’t saying anything mean so obviously she was happy to see him too.
Clam felt a sudden urge to say something. But not an ordinary something, a life changing something, a something that would make his life worth while. A something that he needed to say. A something to know an important thing. He had to say that something!
The SeaWing looked the princess in the eye. He took a deep breath, drawing the salty air into his lungs, he let it out and said it:
”Oceania I’ve always, always... Oceania I love you! I’ve always loved you! And nothing NOTHING will change that!”
He grasped her talons into his. Her face looking bewildered and happy at the same time. And there was the look she always had that he just learnt. Whenever she looked at him she’d give him that look. It was the look of love. Love for... him!
"I... oh Clam! I feel exactly the same! I’ve always wanted to say that but I couldn’t!” She exclaimed a wonderful smile lighting up her already bright face. “Then we’ll get married and have dragonets and they’ll grow up-"
She went on talking about fantasies that she hoped to happen, while Clam watched sitting on the sand.
I’m glad it's happened. She feels the same for me as I do for her we’ll grow up and have a family.
He sighed with relief. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. His life was working out! It was working out better then he expected.
==Chapter 1==
Amaranthine drummed her claws on the floor staring at the ceiling waiting and waiting for the council meeting to be finally over. And in a few more minutes she would be free! She was counting them down in her head. At least it drowned out the voices droning on around her. What were they even talking about defences? The kingdom’s laws? She didn’t even know!
When the time came and she sprinted happily out of the building on to the sandy beach.
It was annoying being a princess. Being a princess meant she had to sit in meetings, act royally, she can’t be silly but she had to be perfect. It was so TIRING!!! All she wanted to do was spend time with that one dragon! It would be so much better and she’d be happier.
Amaranthine swept her tail threw the sand collecting seashells for a castle that she was in the progress of building. It was a very childish thing to do but it took her mind of things while she focused. She knew that being with the dragon she loved was dangerous but she was just amazing! But then she may be amazing she was still an animus so it made it a bit hard to decide, if she was safe to be with or if Amaranthine should run from her the next time she sees her (her parents would tell her to run.)
A thought suddenly struck her!
But her girlfriend hadn’t done that many spells so... maybe her soul’s still there.
This thought made the young SeaWing princess happy, and she danced along the beach, then dived into the water heading for the hole that would lead her to the ocean. She popped out the other end of the tunnel and pushed off of the rocks to get a speedy start.
Amaranthine was heading towards the Deep Palace and by using her wings to propel herself through the water and catching the right currents Amaranthine reached the palace in no time at all!
When she arrived she went to her room to find her mother there doing something.
What's up? Amaranthine flashed, her purple glow in the dark scales lighting up.
Oceania glanced up from a stone tablet that was lying on Amaranthine’s desk. Nothing just tidying up, her mom flashed back.
Her daughter nodded at the tablet and Oceania realized she was wondering why she was reading that. I just saw it and it was interesting.
Amaranthine looked at the tablet and saw it was a story she had been writing. Thanks, she said. Her mom nodded and swam out of the room, leaving the princess alone like always.
Then she had a thought why would her mother be tidying up her room? That was the servants job. Though for a queen Oceania was very modest. She didn’t really like dragons doing that kind of thing when she could easily do it. Amaranthine shrugged and sat down at her desk to continue writing her story.
==Chapter 2==
Scorch shook herself, sand falling off her and landing every where making a huge mess on the clean polished floorboards.
She flung down her travelling cloak, more sand erupted off this as she threw it down into a old rocking chair which stood in the hallway creaking ominously on windy nights when the wind and sand blows at the house very hard.
Then a loud noise erupted through the house shaking the walls. Scorch ran into the main room where she’d heard the noise come from and saw her back wall had been demolished by the sand storm.
”Are you kidding me!?” She yelled, staring at the mess “alike my day hasn’t been bad enough and now my wall is gone!”
She sighed lost for ideas.
Scorch grabbed a wooden planks which she once referred to as a wall. She pushed it up against the wind. Once she got it standing she squeezed in between the remaining walls on her left and right. It was tight and the wall fitted in snuggly, though she knew it would not hold if she did not nail it in.
Grabbing a talonful of nails and a hammer she headed outside. She force from the wind nearly knocked her off her feet but she continued until she got the back of her house. Facing her back to the wind, she hammered the nails into the side of her hut.
Once Scorch was done she headed back inside and fell on to the sandy floor of her house.
Gee now I need to sweep up she thought bitterly as she flicked the sand away with her claws.
Scorch was about to get rid of the sand when a scroll caught her attention on the ground. It was lying there like that's where it was supposed to be. She picked it up examining it before unfolding the paper.
It read:
Hi Scorch!
Long time no see, I've really missed you. I hope we can meet up again sometime soon. You can choose I'm free basically all day!
I hope you've been well, not lonely are you? You know I'm here if you are.
Love from 
Amaranthine'
The letter brought a smile to her face. Amaranthine was always so happy! Even her letters radiated happiness.
Schorch scrambled over to her desk grabbed a spare scroll and started scribbling out a reply.
To Amaranthine
Great to hear from you again!
I’m heading over to Possibility and will be there in maybe two days? We could meet at the entrance at midday? If that’s fine with you.
I’m not that lonely I’ve been really busy, but I’ve missed you
Lots of love
 
Scorch
Scorch grabbed a bucket that had a lid with a small slit in it. This was one of the objects Scorch had made, there were two. Amaranthine had the other. They were a mailing device, it was how the two stayed in connect even though they lived so far away from each other.
She slid the paper through the opening it should soon pop out of her girlfriend’s box.
==Chapter 3==
It was nearly midday and Amaranthine was standing at the entrance to Possibility. She was pacing and her tail twitched anxiously. She shouldn’t be worried Scorch was bound to show up
Sure enough Scorch arrived perfectly on time. She swooped down landing a bit clumsily next to the princess. Scorch folded her large obsidian colored wings by her side and smiled. “How are you?”
Amaranthine threw her wings around her and nuzzled her snout into shoulder. “Great, I’m so glad you could make it,” she whispered.
”Are you hungry? I though we could grab lunch soon, I didn’t really have anything planned,” Scorch glanced at the SeaWing. “Nor did I, I’m happy to eat now,” she replied.
They let go of each other and entered the city.
Soon they arrived at the markets where merchants were selling their goods. “What do you feel like?” Scorch asked “Fish, you like fish right?”
”I know you hate it,” Replied Amaranthine.
“That doesn’t help,” Scorch craned her neck searching for some good stalls. “Look over there that dragons selling fresh fish. I can get some for you.”
Scorch got Amaranthine’s lunch then got some for herself. The two dragons headed down to the river bank to eat.
Amaranthine finished her food, and went down to the river to dip her talons in. She looked over her shoulder at Scorch, who was still eating and she caught sight of a pretty dragon with blue and white scales. Pearls and seaweed were wrapped around her horns. She was a SeaWing and there was something about her that reminded Amaranthine of someone.
The dragon saw her staring and they made eye connect for a split seconds. A look of surprised flicked across the dragons face. She glanced over at Scorch and now she looked shocked.
Amaranthine then realised who the SeaWing was. Her cousin, Princess Gulf. The animus who had been exiled from the Sea Kingdom. She met her when she was very young, and she had heard a bit about her.
Amaranthine walked over to the SeaWing.
”Hey, where are you going?”Scorch cried, getting up.
Gulf saw Amaranthine coming towards her but didn’t move. ”What do you want?” She asked, when the dragonet was within earshot
Now Amaranthine was there she didn’t now what to do. She thought it would sound weird if she just asked: are you the SeaWing princess who had been exiled years ago for enchanting a SandWing egg?
“Are you…” Amaranthine stuttered awkwardly.
”Am I what?” The older dragon asked, looking slightly annoyed.
Just then Scorch ran up to Amaranthine and placed a talon on her shoulder. “C’mon let’s go,” she said quietly trying to avoid an awkward conversation.
Gulf looked down her nose at Scorch. She acted like she recognised her. Wait does Scorch know her and that’s why she wants to go? Amaranthine wondered.
Scorch pulled Amaranthine’s arm and started walking off. “What are you doing?” Amaranthine hissed at her.
“Listen, I need to tell you something,” She replied staring straight a head. “I wanted to talk to her though!” Amaranthine cried.
”You know her?” Scorch asked surprised, stopping in her tracks.
”Yeah, she’s my cousin,” Amaranthine said rolling her eyes. She glanced over her shoulder to see Gulf had started walking away.
“Right, I really need to tell you something, but maybe it should be with Gulf,” Scorch sighed.
That evening Amaranthine found herself standing out the front of a white washed stone house. “What are we here for,” she asked. Scorch shook her head and knocked on the door.
To Amaranthine’s surprise it was Gulf who opened it.
”You two again!” The SeaWing said.
“Yes, us again,” Scorch said matter of factly tilting her chin up staring Gulf right in the eyes. “I want to tell Amaranthine something and I want you to explain it to her.”
Gulf’s eyes darted from both dragons. “Fine,” she huffed. She turned around and flicked her tail as a sign they could follow.
”Scorch,” Amaranthine whispered as they went down the hallway.”Just wait,” she gave her a small smile.
They entered the dining room, Gulf span around and pointed to some chairs. They both sat down.
”what the SandWing wants to tell you is that I’m the animus who cursed a SandWing egg a few years ago. And she was in that egg,” The ex-princess said nonchalantly flicking a claw and Scorch.
”What!” Amaranthine yelped jumping up “I thought the dragonet in that egg died. You mean Scorch isn’t a real animus.”
“She is, just it didn’t come, how to I put it, naturally,” Gulf replied.
Amaranthine looked over at Scorch. “You knew this?” She nodded. “And didn’t tell me?” She nodded again.
”I just didn’t think it mattered that much,” Scorch said, staring at her talons.
Amaranthine sighed. “I guess not that much, but I would’ve liked to know.”
“Is there anything you to want while your here? Tea? Water?” Gulf asked. Scorch shook her head. “No thanks. Sorry for wasting your time and bothering you,” she stood up looking a little ashamed. “It’s fine, there’s not much happening around here, I liked the company,” for the first time since they had been there Gulf smiled.
”Thank you for telling me that,” Amaranthine inclined her head politely.
Gulf followed them to the door and waved them off.
They walked in silence for a bit then Scorch let out a sigh. “So do you want to find somewhere to stay? It’s getting late,” she asked. Amaranthine nodded “Do you know of anywhere?”
”Yeah, follow me,” the SandWing turned left down an alley and Amaranthine followed her.
