    After several nerve-wracking days of travel, Tsunami and her friends finally found themselves on a beautiful island, a sharp contrast to their previous surroundings.

    On patrol, leading them closer to the Summer Palace, was Riptide, a prominent SeaWing dragon. The blue-green scales on his body sparkled under the sunlight.

    As they approached the palace, they encountered Shark, the stern commander of the palace guard. His overwhelming presence commanded respect and authority.

    Tsunami asserted herself, insisting that her friends should not be harmed in any way. Her passionate plea surely left a mark on Shark.

    After what seemed like hours, they were finally given access to the magnificent Summer Palace, much to their relief.

    Upon entering the palace, Tsunami met her mother, Queen Coral. The meeting filled Tsunami with a sense of joy and fulfillment.

    Tsunami was surprised to learn she had a little sister, Anemone. The bond between the two grew instantly, and soon they became inseparable.

    For their safety, the other dragonets were placed in a cave, while Tsunami was surrounded by the comforts of a palace.

    Tsunami was given precious pearls and was taught everything about her mother's kingdom. This newfound knowledge about her lineage brought her immense pride and joy.

    The celebration was marred by the discovery of the dead body of Kestrel, one of the dragonet’s jailors, on a nearby island. It sent a wave of panic amidst the SeaWings.

    Tsunami was now burdened with a dangerous secret. She worried that the SeaWings would blame her and her friends for Kestrel's death, so she stayed silent.

    Later, a meeting was held amongst Queen Coral’s counselors. Tsunami attended the meeting, her heart pounding with anxious anticipation.

    Amidst the hustle and bustle, Tsunami was hit with a revelation. She learned that the dragon she had been forced to kill in Queen Scarlet's arena was actually her father.

    This revelation hit Tsunami hard. She was filled with sorrow and guilt, but she didn’t admit to the council that she had killed him.

    The palace was in a state of grievance for the loss of the king. Tsunami, too, mourned silently for the father she never knew.

    Tsunami was offered solace by her little sister, Anemone. The two sisters found comfort in each other's company.

    Amidst the sorrow, Tsunami couldn't help but appreciate the strength her mother, Queen Coral, exhibited. It inspired Tsunami and instilled in her a sense of duty.

    Tsunami spent her days learning about her father and preparing herself to fulfil her duties as a princess.

    Meanwhile, Tsunami's friends were safe in the cave. The palace guards kept a protective eye over them, ensuring their safety.

    Despite the tragic circumstances, Tsunami was grateful to finally be at home - surrounded by her family and her kind.

    Tsunami continued to learn more about her mother's rule and the functioning of the palace. It amazed her how structured and efficient everything was.

    Tsunami introduced her sister, Anemone, to her friends. The dragonets welcomed Anemone into their group, further strengthening their bond.

    As days turned into weeks, Tsunami learned to balance her duties as a princess and her friendships. Life at the Summer Palace was becoming familiar.

    Tsunami soon realized that the Summer Palace was more than a place. It was a symbol of her mother's reign and her father's legacy.

    The journey to the Summer Palace had been filled with surprises and revelations for Tsunami. But at the end, she knew she was exactly where she belonged.
