== Chapter 1 - Fathom ==
Fathom wasn't anyone special. Sure, he was related to the queen of the SeaWings, but other than that, he considered himself a pretty average dragonet. That is, until the day of the animus test.
Indigo couldn't sit still, per usual, Beluga and Jellyfish were whispering to each other, anf Fathom, Eel, Manta, Pufferfish, and Algae were sitting silently.
Fathom shifted his talons, letting the coarse sand run through them.
"Dragonets!" A voice snapped all eight dragonets into attention.
A large, beautiful dragoness slid out of the ocean's waves. Beside her was a pale male dragon.
That's Albatross! Albatross was Queen Lagoon's animus and was also the queen's brother. And his grandfather.
"Each of you will pick up the coconut in front of you and tell it to strike me once."
The dragonets grabbed the hairy coconuts and began talking to it.
"Coconut, can you please go other there and hit my grandfather? Fathom asked it. Indigo giggled.
"I don't think you ask it, Fathom. I'm pretty sure you command it."
Fathom looked back down at his coconut. "Coconut, I command you to strike my grandfather."
The coconut shot out of his claws and hit Albatross on the head.
