Astro

Astro envied the dragons living in the water. She always wanted to feel what water felt like on her skin. Her mother, Barb, described it as a light enveloping feeling. Barb would tell her many stories of her youth as a member of the water clan and interesting facts about marine life.

But there was just one problem with Astro's dream. Astro is robotic. She was built. Her father, Danios, is of the arcane clan and is very interested in sciences...especially involving magic crystals. He had uploaded likes and dislikes from Barb in the form of a magic crystal into Astro's system. Astro's love and longing for the sea being one of them.

One day she fled her home. Eyes overflowing with sparking 'tears'. She had gotten into a fight with her parents after they said she could not go swimming in the ocean. It turns out the area they were living in was very close to it. She was not allowed to leave her home without the permission of her parents. Nor ever allowed to go too far. So, she would often sneak out when they were asleep and explore the land farther and farther.

Astro stopped in front of a body of dark blue. She had traveled all the way to the beach she discovered a few days ago. She stared in awe at the sight of many colorful fish under the watery veil of the sea. She never had fish before and never swam in the ocean...so she took the plunge. Her body short-circuited sparking blue flames. Turns out her bionic parts were only fire resistant. She sighed as she noted the fried fish alongside her. So much for her dream, but at the very least she had many tasty fish to try.
