“Wave! Waaeeve!” A feminine voice called. “Coming Mom!” Wave said. The young lightning wyvern rushed through the snow and ice back to his den, his mother was waiting inside for him. “So, how did it go?” His mother asked. “Not great, couldn’t find any..” Wave said. “Better luck next time I guess. dinners ready, I cooked up some turkey.” His mother said. “TURKEY! Thanks Mom!” Wave said excitedly. “Don’t thank me, your father found it.” She said. “Where is he anyway?” Wave asked, digging in to the jolted turkey. “Right here,” a wyvern said, walking into the cave, “hello my love, and hello Wave! Any luck with the treasure hunting?” His father asked. “No.. any luck hunting?” Wave asked. “Well, you are eating that turkey aren’t you?” His father said sarcastically, they all chuckled. Wave finished the dinner with his family before climbing the stone staircase up to his room, he went over to his bed and sat down. “HELLO THERE!” a voice shouted, “AACK!” Wave said looking around frantically, he looked out his window, a hole cut in the cave wall, outside was a tropical wyvern, his best friend, Seastorm, or Stormy as everyone called her. “Stormy?! Why are you here?!” Wave asked. “Cuz I wanted to see if you found anything!” Stormy said. “No, I haven’t found anything..” Wave said. “Poor Shockwave, alas, shall he ever find anything worthy of thous exquisite taste…” Stormy said. “I hope so..” Wave said. “Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll find something eventually.” Stormy said, “now can I please come inside? Its soooo cold-d.” She asked. “Oh yea! come in!” Wave said. Stormy crawled in through the window, when they were younger it was easier, she could barely fit now. She fell down on the floor with an oof. “Son! Come here please.” His father called. “Sounds like Mr. Thunder wants you.” Stormy said pointing out the obvious. “Be right back.” He said. He walked down the stairs and into the living area. “What’s up?” Wave asked. “The sky.” Thunder said. Wave’s mother rolled her eyes and smiled. “But seriously, this box has your name on it, I just saw it covered in snow on the doorstep, did you lose anything?” Thunder asked. “I don’t think so..” Wave said. “Well, it’s got your name on it, here.” Thunder said handing the box to Wave, he clutched it in both talons and walked back up the stairs after saying bye to his parents, when he entered the room Stormy was sitting on the edge of his bed. “What’s that?” She asked. “I don’t know.” He said glancing down at it. “Well, let’s open it!” She said. Wave sat down next to her on the bed and opened the chest, inside was a scroll.
