### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Talons of Power

In the prologue, Gill|King Gill sent Turtle|Prince Turtle to find
Snapper as quickly as possible and to tell her to guard the eggs. Turtle
failed to find Snapper, and all of the female eggs were destroyed as a
result of this. Queen Coral had Snapper executed after that.

Turtle mentioned Snapper in his thoughts when he remembered how he had
failed to find her. Turtle also mentioned that the night after his
failure, the Animus enchantments|enchanted coral that was used to find
lost things dragged him along until it found and bumped itself against
Snapper's bloody corpse.

It was revealed by Queen Coral that when Turtle was searching for her,
she was at the Summer Palace, not at the Deep Palace like she was
supposed to be. It was unclear why Snapper was there, but because of
that, it was not Turtle's fault that he could not find her and she was
executed with an extra painful death due to her disobedience.
