== Tsunami's POV, the start of the battle) aka The Prologue: ==
Tsunami glanced nervously at Gill, who looked like he could snap a baby dragon's neck in a second without hesitation. His crusty, dry grayish-green scales dull in the bright, sunny sunrays on the arena. His heavy breathing is making Tsunami more scared of him. Vermilion roared, "Are you ready to see the fight with the SeaWing who refused to fight a few months back?" The dragons hissed.
Vermilion boomed, "Well, are you ready to see the so-called dragonet of prophecy, Tsunami of the SeaWings!" All of the dragons cheered, their wings flapping wildly, making the rays of the sunshine flickers. 
Vermilion shouted, "Gill, dehydrated, mentally unstable, and prepared to fight! Tsunami, part of the Dragonet Prophecy! Claws up, tails ready! FIGHT!" He flew away as fast as possible, leaving the two SeaWings as Gill bolted forward with his mouth snapped open with swollen purple inside the mouth, and aiming at Tsunami's neck. Her fear made her move and dodge him to the left, but Gill landed and bolted, crashing onto Tsunami too fast. 
Way too fast. 
Dust clouded the views from the audience. Gill is standing on her, snarling. His weight is too unbearable and too heavy to get him off. Gill snapped his mouth open and darted into Tsunami's neck, his large webbed talons holding her down, and shut his jaws as tight as he can. Tsunami roared in pain and thrashing as much as possible to escape his wrath and screamed, "Make it stop! Get him off of me! HELP!" 
Clay strangled to get out and go down. He shouted, "Just get him off by your talons or something!" But Tsunami can't. Gill's too powerful and he already got Tsunami's both talons pinned with just one huge talons. Not to mention with webbed claws so Tsunami couldn't claw him in the middle of two claws. She felt something coming out of her body and realized that he was sucking her blood. 
Tsunami tried to shake him off, but he kept on sucking, and yet, she felt weaker than she thought. She went for his underbelly with her legs, but she couldn't reach with just a snout-length. Gill released his mouth and scratched her chest off, leaking more blood and lick the blood off his mouth. Are you insane!?, Tsunami wanted to roar. Then Gill sharpened his teeth and tore some flesh, then he continued on drinking her blood. Tsunami let out a cry and tried to shake him off, but his insanity made him more stronger, not weaker. Tsunami snapped her jaws at Gill's head, maybe to rip his head off if she had the strength, but it didn't do much. But it got some scratches, still not enough. 
Once Gill finally finished drinking her blood, Tsunami just gave up and went limp. Gill blinked once, twice at Tsunami and then his expression changed into what looks like a regular dragon. So he was back to normal, how lovely, Tsunami thought sarcastically. Tsunami still have a small amount of energy left and stood up, wobbly. She almost collapsed, but she used up her strength to stay balanced. She gave a small run and weakly jumped at Gill, and tried to claw Gill, but her talons are jelly. She collapsed on the arena ground as Gill looked confused, and some madness remained in his eyes as he walked toward her and tried to help her up, but Tsunami was limped and large amount of blood leaked on Gill's talons. His eyes widened at it and looked at the crowd, unable to speak. 
Clay shouted, "NO! TSUNAMI!" He tried to get her, but he was still chained in, helpless on the queen's balcony. Clay cried a little bit as Starflight offered his wing to calm him down. Starflight said something to Clay as he just looked as pertified as Clay. Tsunami's thoughts was, what is the purpose of the prophecy if I'm dead? She smiled a little, but frowned almost within a heartbeat as she thought. but that will break up my friends' hearts. 
I'm sorry Clay, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny, wherever you are. Wherever you guys are going, I will always be with you during this journey, even if I'm dead. She closed her eyes and let out her final breath. When she opened them again in the middle of the bright sky-blue sky, an orb of an extremely bright white light was approaching to her spirit. She let out an internal smile. 
It was time. 
== Gill's POV, (the end of the battle) aka Chapter 1: ==
What just happened? Gill looked around at the crowd. Bright, blinding sunlight hurt his visions so he has to look down, and glanced at his talons. It was covered in deep, dark scarlet blood. His eyes were widened with horror and turned at the limp blue body of a dragon. His heart pounded violently as he thought, Coral! He ran over to the body, crouched down and realized it wasn't Coral. He just moved her head until he can see the face clearly. It was obviously a female dragon, but too, familiar. 
The prophecy... No, no, no, NO! 
The deep blue dragon was his daughter. Find the egg the color of deep blue, it sanged in his mind. He franctically tried ways to make her wake up, but he felt no pulse or any signs of life. He roared and immediately coughed, spraying something. He wiped from his mouth and realized they are blood. What have I done? Why did I drink her blood? WILL SOMEBODY EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME!? Gill flared with anger. 
"Well, congratulations on surviving that," a sarcastic voice said. Gill froze, recognizing that voice. Queen Scarlet! He turned around and looked face to face with the queen. He now know what just happened, memories were too blurry to remember. 
Him stuck in a prison for months, only given food once every two weeks. Months later, vision was out of focus and jaws teething at his arm to drink something. Later, guards finally came to the cage but without food. They dragged him as he thrashed and opened his mouth to do the soundless roar. Dragged until into bright light, too bright to take in and a blue figure standing in his way. At first, his vision was so blurry that he mistook it as a SkyWing who was willing to give him as much food, and bolt after Vermilion called out. Him clawing at the blue figure until it was limp. His body felt more, normal and his vision was finally back. Now he realized he killed Queen Coral's daughter, he felt guilty and didn't know what to do. 
Coral, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! I don't know what to do now, Gill thought rapidly. Gill tried to lift up the body and nudge Tsunami's snout, but five SkyWing guards came in with heavy protection and picked up Gill like it was a dead weight. Gill thrashed and tried to get out, but one of them just clamped his snout tight with a metal and took him to the throne room. Gill stopped thrashing as Queen Scarlet approached Gill and held up his snout. She unclamped the metal and squeezed his snout that it hurt. 
She hissed, "You did me a really small one battle, but quite entertaining and really gruesome. You should kill off the other dragonets and let the prophecy be done, or be free? I thought it would be boring, but so thrilling I want that thing again!" She let out a laughter and moved Gill's head closer to her face as she snarled, "You better not kill me that way if you had the chance to be free." 
Gill jolted out the realization that Queen Scarlet still thinks that Gill is insane. He pretended to be insane and snarled so loud, but so painful that the queen let out a smile. Gill quickly croaked, "I want to be free." Queen Scarlet gave a look as she said, "Oh? Very well, King Gill. GUARDS!" The five guards looked at Queen Scarlet as she said, "Release him. He don't deserved to be scorched up by Peril, but once he is outside, unclamp his snout and fly away as far as possible. I don't want a pile of dead bodies in one place if Gill managed to kill you. Now, go!" Five guards obeyed and clamped Gill's snout again and flew with Gill. He was going to be free! But, his daughter would burn aflame until her ashes remains. It's for the best, Gill thought guiltily. Now, at last, he would be back to the Kingdom of the Sea, his true home once again. 
== Gill's POV, (the time of his release) aka Chapter 2: ==
As soon as the guards released him, they unclamped his snout on the outside of the mountain range. Gill looked back at the retreating group and flew through the mountains alone. For three days and two nights, he finally made it to the edge of the Kingdom of the Sea. He flew to the secret island that hid the Summer Palace and stopped abruptly as the advanced group of guards approached him. He could identify Shark, his brother-in-law and a brother of Queen Coral. Shark barked, "Who are you? Why are you here? You don't look, SeaWing." Gill inhaled sharply and forgotten that they hasn't met yet and Coral had mentioned about Shark a couple of times. He held out his talons to look less harmful and said, "My name is Gill, but you will need to call me King Gill. For as I am Coral's husband." 
Shark's expression looked shocked and hissed, "You can say that easily without any trouble. How would we know you are lying for one thing?" Gill let out a calm exhale, telling himself it is normal if a brother-in-law never met theirs. He said, "I know that you are the advance commander that Queen Coral want you to protect this secret island, but ask her yourself. She'll say it was me." 
Shark looked uneasy and bowed down to allow Gill to pass through. He flew into the secret tunnel into the opening. He immediately heard mutters and whispers. 
"Was that King Gill?" 
"I thought he was dead!" 
"But he was trapped in the Sky Kingdom?" 
"Now Queen Coral will finally be happy now that he is back!" 
Gill look around for a moment and flew to the top of the pavilion and landed. He walked through and jolted with realization that there was another throne next to the queen's. Did Coral successfully protect Anemone and now she's alive? Gill fills himself with joy, but grieves at the same time. How can he break the news to Coral about her daughter in the prophecy and she was dead? 
No, I must tell her. It is really urgent, Gill scowled at himself. He flew to a level where she did most of her scroll works and found her talking to Whirlpool with a harness attached to a young, bluish-pinkish dragonet, laying down and covering her ears. Is that Anemone, Gill wondered. His daughter after a long time! Whirlpool looked behind Coral and said, "Your Majesty, it seems you had a visitor." Coral looked back and her expression brightened up as she laid sight on Gill and shouted, "Gill, you're back!" She dashed and jumped on Gill and hugged him as she cried. Anemone squeaked and got tugged away along with Coral. Coral said, "I can't believe you are still alive in Scarlet's arena fights! How is that possible?" Gill blushed a little and said, "Well, I only fought one battle and yet, Queen Scarlet freed me." 
Coral expression of happiness immediately changed to worry and asked, "Why?" She stepped back, obviously fearing Gill. Gill sighed and explained that he was only fed once every two weeks, making him go mad with thirst and when he fought and killed a SeaWing by drinking her blood, then hesitated. Coral said, “And, what happened next?” 
Gill rushed, “When I got my conscious back, I thought I killed you but realized something. That dragon was our daughter.” Coral was quiet and laughed. She said, “Oh, what a story! That is impossible that this dragon was our daughter! Such a coincidence!” 
Gill stared in shock. He shouted, “But that dragon is deeply blue like you, but darker and she had that similar face to you, only without pearls!” Coral stayed quiet once again, and said, “Oh, who cares? She don’t matters as long I had Anemone!” Gill dropped his jaws. 
Coral waved her talons and said, “As long I had one daughter, nothing matters more than Anemone, the last heir to the throne for one time!” Gill flared with anger and said, “But if she dies, won’t that be hard to not have two heirs to the throne?” Coral said, “Then the throne will be mine, forever.” She chuckled and excused herself to Whirlpool and flew into her room. Gill’s wings drooped, wondering what’s wrong with Coral. She was desperate to have female heirs, but once she had Anemone, things doesn’t matters to her when she still have Anemone by her side, including female heirs. 
That’s it. I’m killing Anemone tonight. 
== Gill’s POV (the night after Gill arrived to the Summer Palace) aka Chapter 3: ==
Gill snuck out of his room to the kitchen. He landed quietly, hoping that the night chefs doesn’t hear him. He went to a table with knives on display. He turn to the knives until he spotted a knife that looked really sharp to easily slice a throat with just a sweep. But, if he doesn’t want to get caught with Anemone waking up, maybe he should drown her. He doesn’t know how, but maybe tie up her gills so she couldn’t breathe, then slice her throat. 
He looked around more and found a really thick cloth that could cover her gills and a strap to hold the knife in place. He grabbed them and put the strap on his body, tucked the cloth there and went back to the knife table. 
He felt hysterical and insane, but this was Coral’s karma for not feeling sympathy to any female heirs but Anemone. He grabbed the smallest knife, yet really sharp and flew to Coral’s room. If he was caught, he will be executed and maybe replace Gill with Whirlpool instead. But if he succeeds, then she will have to feel sympathy to any dragons. He flaps his wings quietly and landed softly on the entrance of Coral’s room. She doesn’t deserves to be queen after what she just stated. He hid the knife beneath his right wing very carefully to not cut himself and wake Anemone. 
He shook her shoulder slightly. Anemone blinked once, twice and said, “Wa-“ Gill quickly covered her mouth and make a shush gesture. She blinked and stayed quiet. Gill gestured to follow her into the water. Anemone looked confused and flew into the water. Gill screamed, this is now the chance! 
He immediately shut her snout before she get to scream and tied her gills shut. She let out bubbles, showing signs that she can’t breathe. Gill grabbed the knife and stabbed her in the throat. She muffled until she stopped moving with blood bubbling out of her throat. Gill looked around until he saw a really small cave that could fit a year-old dragonet there, a perfect hiding place to escape from his committed crime. He pushed the body tightly into the cave and swam away faster before anyone wakes up. 
He pretended to be asleep when he heard loud roaring. Coral screamed and cried after her discovery of Anemone’s death. She cried and picked up her body and hugged her tightly. Gill flashed a grin and quickly hid it before anyone noticed. Coral deserved this. This was her karma. So he succeeded his crime just to avenge his unknown daughter’s death. He swam and pretended to realized that his daughter was recently dead. He said, "What? Anemone's dead?" Coral hissed, "And they think they could get away with this? They must be EXECUTED!" Gill smirked, "But, if you keep on killing dragons who were innocent, then you wouldn't know the truth, right?" Coral sighed, "That must be true. Guards! Find some clues here!" Oh, but I hid them all, Gill thought in silence. 
"Your Majesty!" Whirlpool exclaimed. Coral snapped, "What is it? You found something?" Whirlpool panted, "I found something strange in the kitchen." Coral muttered, "But the kitchen is usually strange." Whirlpool said, "But this time, it is more stranger than strange." Coral groaned and said, "To the kitchen then. Gill, come with me." Gill obeyed and they flew there together. Whirlpool landed first and walked to the knife section where Gill found his sharp companion. He said, "This knife seems to be wetter than the other and smells of blood. Sniff at it." Coral took a sniff and immediately cried, "It is blood! Find some more clues in here!" The chefs looked at the group, curious and confused of why they were poking around here for no reason. 
Coral sniffed around until she caught a scent. She growled, "Anyone smells another blood?" Gill sniffed and realized the queen was right. He has forgotten that the cloth was covered in blood because he has to stabbed through the cloth to kill her. Whirlpool looked at Gill suspiciously and asked, "King Gill, my Highness. I see you must remember the same smell of that same blood somewhere else?" Gill lied, "Well, smells the same in the direction that the queen smelled." Coral barked, "Enough chitting-chatting and let go see it." She dashed through Whirlpool to the same area where Gill found the thick cloth. She made it to her destination and picked up the worn-out thick cloth that was covered in blood. The chefs looked back, surprised that there was a cloth covered in blood, which no dragons in the kitchen ever grabbed but Gill himself. 
She roared to the nearest chef, Whale, "DID YOU DO THIS!?" Whale stammered, "But I never seen or used that kind of cloth before! You'll have to ask the other chefs to prove my statement!" Coral hissed, turned and did what Whale said. None of them said that he was using them. Coral sighed and said, "You're dismissed. Where is Pufferfish?" One of the chef exclaimed, "She was in her master room, probably just looking over her recipes or making new ones, as usual." Coral growled, "More like planning on more assassinations to my royal family! Let's go!" She flew to the master room immediately and Whirlpool and Gill tagged along with her. 
She dashed in and landed on Pufferfish before she could breathe and whimpered, "What's going on?" Coral hissed into her ears and said, "You know what you been doing." But before she raised her talons to slash Pufferfish's neck, Whirlpool called, "It wasn't Pufferfish!" He waved his talons with something in his talons, a couple of waterproof scrolls. Obviously, Gill thought. Coral said, "Give me that!" She snatched the scrolls and read into it. She said, "This was no assassination plots!" Pufferfish said, "Assassinat- what?" Coral screamed, "THIS IS JUST A MERE LIST OF RECIPES! THE MURDERER ARE STILL HERE SOMEWHERE!" Gill calmly said, "I'll check the Deep Palace. It is possible that the murderer are there." Coral said, "Yes, yes, yes. Go ahead." They both flew out, leaving Gill and Pufferfish alone. She whispered. "What's going on? I want to forget what is going on and just do my master chef work." Gill was silence and said, "You will forget it, but no. You're not doing your chef work anymore. You deserves an eternal break." Pufferfish asked, "Eternal what?" But she was muted by Gill choking her. Gill said, "Now, good night." He slashed her throat, laid her body in silence and flew down to the Deep Palace. 
== Gill's POV (the time of his arrival at the Deep Palace) aka Chapter 4: ==
He was glad that they left before he killed Pufferfish. He did too well, but, at the same time, too evil. He sighed, bubbles rising from his nostrils and gills as he swam to the Deep Palace. He entered the palace and swam to the Royal Hatchery entrance when two guards was watching for intruders and glanced at Gill. They both bowed and one of them flashed, Welcome back, King Gill. We both were thinking of you and knew you would survive. Gill flashed back, Is there any more female eggs? Both guards stopped bowing and looked at each other awkwardly, and the other one flashed, Just only two, and we were hoping that the assassin won't get them. Gill let out an internal sigh and flashed, Then maybe it is possible if one guard was posted inside the hatchery, just because I had this feeling when I went inside to check on Abalone. I felt this sensation when I enter it and it was gone when I exited. I really suspect that it is magic inside, maybe an animus magic I assume? Both guards look shocked and one flashed, I felt the same thing when I enter just once to check on the eggs, orders from Queen Coral. Then maybe Gill should let those two eggs live. He waved his wing, you should give this news to Commander Shark that I had given this order to post at least one guard to protect the inside of the hatchery, then maybe those two eggs would live. The other nodded, At your service, King Gill. She swam away, leaving one guard and Gill alone. 
Why did I do all of these stuff? This is not me. This is the new me, Gill thought, horrified.
