A Broken Heart is a prequel to The Rising, and follows Prince Orca and his girlfriend, Abyss, as they lose each other due to animus magic.
Prologue
Two weeks ago...
Above the Deep Palace, two SeaWings were on guard. Their names were Droplet and Gulper. In the distance, they saw a black shape flying towards them. It was a NightWing! The guards readied their spears, but as the NightWing landed, he put his claws in the air. "I bring a gift for Prince Turtle's eldest." he said, casting a silver earing towards the guards. "Droplet, will you escort our NightWing friend to his kingdom." said Gulper, still glaring at the NightWing. "Oh, there's really no need for that! I can find my way home!" said the black dragon. "And by the way, my name is Powerclaws."
Chapter 1
Prince Orca swam through the corridors of the Deep Palace. He could see that the other royal SeaWings were preparing to leave. For what? He decided to ask. "Where are you going?" he asked his father, Prince Turtle. Turtle turned and smiled at him. "We're going to see your mother at the Island Palace." he said. "Obviously, Kinkajou can't come down here!" Orca nodded, as his girlfriend, Abyss, swam up to them. She was obviously coming! She was the SeaWing's animus! The royal SeaWings burst out of the water, and began flying to the Deep Palace. There, a multicolored dragon was pacing. As soon as they landed, she threw herself on Turtle. "Turtle!" she said. "I missed you! I know it was only temporary, but I still missed you!" Turtle was equally happy. Prince Orca could see that. Auklet immediately hugged Kinkajou, but Queen Anemone waited a moment before hugging the RainWing. Orca fingered the earing he'd been sent by Powerclaws. Hopefully this meant no hard feelings. Kinkajou then ran over to her son, and hugged him as well. "Oh, I do hope you're coming back to the rainforest!" she said. Prince Orca grinned.
"Of course we are!" he said, as his little sister, Caiman, came running up. She resembled Kinkajou more than Turtle, unlike Orca, who just had multicolored phosphorescent stripes. Caiman didn't have gills like Prince Turtle or Prince Orca, so when Aunt Anemone had asked them to come to the Deep Palace for Aunt Auklet's twenty-second hatching day, only Orca and his father could come. Orca noticed that Tamarin had come with Kinkajou, as had the RainWing prince and princess, Tapir and Darkness. Like Orca and Caiman, Tapir and Darkness where half royal hybrids. Their mother was Queen Glory, and their father was King Deathbringer. Darkness was staring at the SeaWings. She'd obviously never seen a SeaWing before. "Awnty Kinkyju, who deese?" she said. She was adorable, only about eight months old! Tapir, obviously slightly older seemed much less confused. "Rememb-b-ber?" he said, with a cute stammer. "Is O-O-Orca n Tur-t-tle!" Both were cute! Queen Glory was lucky!
