Seastripe and Seashine
Seastripe and Seashine
Seastripe and Seashine pumped their powerful tails as they spiraled downwards into the water. I bet that I can get to the underwater crystal cave faster than you can! boasted Seastripe as she sped on ahead.

The rainbow Seashine moved his tail back and forth even faster and soon he had caught up with Seastripe. Ha, don't you wish you could you... you... guppy!

Oooooh.... I'll get you for that! Seastripe playfully chased Seashine further downwards as they got closer to their destination.

Finally they were there. Both Seastripe and Seashine burst out of the water inside of their dry and secluded cave. Their yellow chesmu, Seaflyer jumped out from behind a cluster of crystals and chirped happily at the two jetters that had just surfaced. Seashine tossed Seaflyer a fish that he had been holding in his jaws and the chesmu happily began to much on the salty snack. Though the two jetters could not easily leave the ocean they still took good care of their pet chesmu and always brought it fish.

The cave was quite beautiful, really. There was a shallow stream running through it that the two jetters could take to traverse more of it but after a while it ended with fresh water and they could go no further. The whole cave was filled with the most beautiful shining crystals, which is why they called it the crystal cave. The crystals always seemed to gleam with some sort of hidden light while others sparkled liked stars. The two jetters knew why the ones shone with the hidden light, they held tiny sprites and fairies inside. Every now and then the fairies would come out to marvel at the strange-looking jetters or play with the cute chesmu.

As for the shining ones, the jetters were not quite so sure. Seastripe thought that maybe they shone with the light of the sun through reflected through many many other crystals. She decided that the cave opened up into the light and sun somewhere so the sun came through and then the crystals brought the light down. Seashine didn't believe her until they came down at night and found those crystals dark with no sun to brighten them.

The crystals were not the only thing like stars in the cave. Upon the high ceiling was a lovely mural of all the stars in the heavens. Sometimes the two jetters would come down here and float belly up looking at the stars on the ceiling. Someday Seastripe and Seashine would have a litter of pups in this cave where no harm could ever come to them but the time wasn't right yet.

Somehow Seashine thought that this underwater cave was special. There was always somewhat of a tingle whenever they entered the submerged mouth of the cave, as if they were passing into a zone of magic. Personally, Seashine thought that the caves were very magical indeed. He recalled back to the time when they were being chased by a pack of Deep Blues, giant intelligent sharks which terrorized the denizens of the deep. Not knowing where else to go the two jetters had swam for the cave. To their horror it looked like the Deep Blues would be able to pass through the wide cave mouth but then something seemed to repell them, as if they had run into an invisible wall. Obviously the caves were protecting themselves and not letting the hostile Deep Blues enter.

His and Seastripe's mental voices seemed somehow magnified by the magic and power of the cave. If that didn't show that they were something special then Seashine didn't know what would. Also, the unusual ammount of sprites and fairies suggested that the magic content in this cave was very high as most of the time these creatures were rarely seen more than one in one place.  Well since no one except for the peaceful jetters ever came to this wonderful place he could see why they would want to live here.

Seastripe waved a paddle-like fin in from of Seashine's snout. Hellooooo? Stop zoning out! When Seashine didn't respond Seastripe used her tail to scoop up a small quartz which she chucked and Seashine.

Seashine backfinned as he saw the shinning stone coming his way and it splashed into the water in front of his nose. He glared over to where Seastripe was floating with Seaflyer sitting atop her head. Yes? And what would you need? he asked of the striped jetter.

Seaflyer says that he found something further back in the cave. He says that we should come and see it. He says that it is out of the water though. Seastripe gave Seashine a look that implyed that he should have already known that and Seashine snorted into the water. How Seastripe could understand the chesmu was beyond him. She always seemed to know what the chesmu was thinking.

Did he tell you what it is? asked Seashine as he glanced back up at the painted stars above him.

Yes but I'm not going to tell you! You have to come out of the water with me and find out! Seastripe glanced back at Seashine before jumping out of the water. Seashine rolled his eyes before flopping out of the water himself. The two jetters flopped along awkwardly out of the water as Seaflyer led the way. They flopped along like seals out of water and could not go very fast.

Seashine scratched his underbelly painfully on a sharp crystal and growled softly. This had better be good. I hate being out of the water. If I didn't know for a fact that this cave was safe I would never stand for this. He rolled his body along the floor once more but found himself stopped by the bulk of Seastripe.

Hush. We are there. Seastripe gazed down fondly at an orb nestled between the crystals. It was an egg, a huge egg. It looked much like the egg that Seaflyer had hatched out of but it was much larger and it shone like it was dusted with diamonds. We need to roll him closer to the water. When he hatches he will want to swim.

Seashine blinked. He? Is that a dragon egg? Aren't they supposed to eat creatures like us?

Seastripe snorted as she began to roll the egg down towards the water. Well some might but this one won't. He needs someone to raise him from infancy to adulthood. We will help him grow.

Seashine began helping her to nose the egg along. Fine. Lets make... him... a nest down by the edge of the salt river out of seaweed and such. We have to make sure that he will be comfortable when he hatches.

Now you're talking! said Seastripe happily pushed the egg another length.
