## Biography

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Talons of Power

King Gill found Abalone extremely sick with a mysterious growth on his
neck while trying to guard the royal eggs, so he sent young
Turtle|Prince Turtle to find Snapper. Gill planned to send Abalone to
the healers whilst someone else guarded the eggs, since he knew that to
leave the eggs alone would mean their certain death. After a long time,
Turtle — who had used his secret animus magic to find Snapper, who had
left the Deep Palace|palace without permission — did not return and
Abalone's condition grew worse as the growth got much bigger. Gill
finally gave up on waiting for Turtle and ran to fetch the healers
himself. When he returned, he found Abalone unconscious because the
growth on his neck had burst. The two female eggs had been crushed, and
Gill roared until his throat gave out. When he talked with Coral, she
replied she had already sent word to have both Abalone and Snapper
executed.
