You wander through the short-grass meadows. A soft breeze whispers by you and you smell the ocean. You hurry up the hillside and when you reach the top, the sight below you is magnificent. The white sandy beach stretches for miles in both directions, the ocean is equally as endless. You walk quickly down the hill and as you reach the bottom you notice a rocky path jutting out to sea. There is a shadowed figure sitting there peacefully, quietly, as the sun creeps up the horizon. Curious, you follow the path towards it. 
You gaze at the dragon-like creature. You hear a faint sound; thrumming, she's singing! Her scales glimmer dark blue and black, like a deep ocean. She hasn't noticed you yet as her eyes are closed placidly as she thrums. The moon is beginning to fade away and as it does, so does her song. She opens her eyes and your presence seems to dawn on her. The young dragon-kin leaps in the air and spins around to face you. She crouches down, with a petrified expression, wings stiff and outstretched. You crouch down in order to seem less menacing and speak as softly as you can. Your attempts to soothe her fail miserably. She narrows her eyes, crouches down a bit lower and bolts passed you. You nearly tumble over the rocky edge of this uprisen path in the sea but catch your footing. You look back just in time to see her scurry off, half gliding, into a cave. You bite your lip but decide to follow...
The cave is a dull grey color on the outside. Rough and carved by the ages, the tunnel is dark and foreboding. Still, you enter, hoping to apologize to the beauty by the sea. A little growl echoes from within and the cave is suddenly illuminated. The walls shimmer a dark purple and black, appearing as smooth as silk. Metallic purple curtains drape down to the cavern's floor and in shallow water. A dripping sound echoes monotonously in the background. You hear shuffling in the water and then another dragon-like creature appears from behind the shadow of a curtain. He is similar to the first one but far more ferocious in expression. He stretches his wings, ruffling the feather crest on his head and puffing out his chest. He is no bigger than she is but vicious still. He lets out what might have been a bellow but only a mere bark-like roar. He snorts and feigns to pounce but jumps back, trying only to intimidate you. You try in vain to withold your smile but he's so cute, with the other, you now notice, cowering behind him. You back away, leaving the two be and return to the brightness of the new morning outside of the cave. You look out at the ocean and smile as you see two dolphins breaking the surface with a spectacular leap towards the sky. "Quite a marvel, all of it really." A voice chimes behind you softly. You turn around, a bit startled, but you relax upon seeing Lady Reaper. She is staring out at the horizon, with her hands clasped together before her. She looks at you, with a calm smile yet still, despite it all, she is creepy and much too mysterious. "The two you met are Sea Draqines, originating from Dragon Haven. The first, a water hatchling by the name of Ecco and the little ruffian, her protector, was Silence, a purple hatchling." Eve nods and waves a hand to you. The small crest clipped to your shirt glows faintly then returns to normal. "The crest will form a bubble of air around you should you venture into the water. I imagine it would be quite a swim to meet all the creatures hidden beneath the ocean's glassy surface. Good luck." She smiles to you and then vanishes in a cloud of violet and red sparkles.
