____________________________
FpYGiAO.png]
I had always been the weird one amongst my siblings. Smaller and wiry, a penchant for riding the storms instead of excavating, and an affinity for water. Our clan had a tunnel to the shallows of the Sea of a Thousand Currents for us to net fish and crustaceans, and I one day became old enough tag along. And sure, I’d seen water. We had the seasonal rains, the cacti that provided us drink, and water clinging to my family’s scales from their bounty. Water was nothing new, that is, until my trip to the beach flats.

Sun beat down on our wings as we stood on the shoddy makeshift wharf ending the tunnel. The humidity made us sticky and the constant sun left us wishing for the storm-shaded sands back at the burrow. We couldn’t be seen easily but I could spy many Water families out among the shallows teaching hatchlings to swim or older ones how to catch fish, or maybe even learning the secrets of the famed oracles produced by the Flight. It looked like they were having so much fun in the sea, but water was a sore point for us. I could feel my elder sister’s eyes boring into my back. She and I had never had bouts, she was my closest friend then. We knew each other’s secrets and troubles. I was bored and she could tell, and I knew she was beginning to feel the drag under the merciless sun, too. Sighing I turned back around to watch the fishing net with growing disinterest. Even my brother, the most focused of us, was sitting with half-lidded eyes and starting to pick at his claws. The job must have been slow today.

My talons grew restless and I began drumming them softly against the rotting wharf wood. It escalated to batting my sister’s leaden tail, back and forth, back and forth, between my claws. She growled playfully and knocked me over with her huge wing. We launched into a light-hearted spar all the while growling and laughing. Our brother joined in and his massive size brought all three of us into a rolling, tussling ball of Ridgebacks down the dock, the job of fishing forgotten. We broke apart in a fit of giggles and my brother lunged at me with shielded claws. I tried to back away but his large talon caught my ankle and my footing was swept out from under me. Fear squeezed my heart as the momentum of my failed retreat sent my back half off the dock. I yelped and desperately dug my claws into the slick wood planks, but my young claws refused to find purchase. Into the sea I fell with a scream.

The water was cold and shocking as I broke the surface. I panicked. I kicked, I flailed, air escaped my open maw in a frantic stream of bubbles and my limbs moved in an uncoordinated spastic terror. My head breached the water and I took in a ragged gulp of air before my own dead weight and inability to swim dragged me back down. My movements had moved me further from the dock and into the deeper water where our net swayed with the current. Tail snagging the fibers, I felt seized by the unknown. The powerful movement of the current pulled at me like a magnet does an iron nail. This is how I’m going to go, what’ll they say about a waterlogged Ridgeback? I had thought. My water-blurred vision locked frantically onto a huge shape swimming towards me. A huge female Guardian had swam up to me. She calmly took hold of my runtish body and dragged me upwards.

I floundered for air as my head broke the water once more, but this time with the aid of the Guardian dragoness. She kept me afloat and stared into me with those deep azure eyes of the Water Flight, “Calm, young Ridgeback. The Tidelord’s waters wish no harm upon you. The water is a friend”. I sputtered helplessly, still stricken with terror at my fall. “Youngling, I’m going to show you how to swim. Paddle with your talons,” she began. The deep purple of her hide is all I can remember of her, for she never told me her name. The purple of her scales and the vital and eye-opening lesson she taught me. It was as I learned to master the waters with my own flesh and not simply a net that I fell in love with the rock of the waves. It was as free as the skies yet felt like being swept up in a parent’s wings for a hug. And I was no Waterborn dragon, yet it was as if I could hear- no, feel the whispers that the currents brought to the Oracles. I was besotted with the water like no Ridgeback I had ever known. With that beautiful and kind Guardian’s help I made my way back to the dock, much to the ecstatic joy of my siblings. They pulled me out of that water faster than the Stormcatcher could say GET BACK TO WORK. It was the euphoria of our reunion that must have made us miss that kind spirit leave, for when we looked up to thank her on our lives, she was already gone. And never again did my siblings or myself ever see her, but I still thank her to this day. From that day I loved the water, loved it enough to sign for every fishing trip simply so I could swim and fish. Even into the present I still take absolute delight in becoming a great scaly submarine, daily if I weren’t so busy.
