Under the oceans surface

 Treasure-Chapter 1 

Floating above the surface of the water felt so…unnatural. How long did it take one dragon to hide a stone? Carp had been down there way too long. What was he doing?

Then all of a sudden he leapt out of the water, grinning from ear to ear like he had just experienced the greatest moment of his life.

“You're never going to find it,” he giggled gleefully.

“How are you so sure?” I challenged.

“Because I hid it where no seawing could find it, not even you could find it, Aruana,” Carp said.

“We’ll see about that,” I replied just before I dove into the water with a big splash.

We were playing a fun game of ‘where’s that rock?’ Which we created when we were little and still play now even though we are already four!

As I swam against the currents my eyes scanned the reef for any sign of the green rock Carp had hid. We had found it just this morning while we were playing in the summer palace and decided it was the perfect rock for this particular game.

After a while I spotted something glistening in the water near a large boulder surrounded by seaweed. Eww… I thought as I got sea slime in between my claws, but it was a small price to pay for the beautiful necklace lying beside the large boulder. I slowly picked it up, and started to play with the small, green and blue crystals that made up the necklace. My first treasure.

Surely Carp wouldn’t mind if I didn’t find his rock and instead came up to the surface with this gorgeous treasure. Though, then he wouldn't stop boasting about the fact that I didn't find his rock. So I placed the necklace over my head and continued my search.

Eventually I gave up and retreated back to Carp, he was staring at me intently as I surfaced.

“Did you find it?” He asked.

“We’ll no,” I replied feeling defeated.

“Told you, you wouldn’t!” He paused, “where did you get that?” He said pointing at the crystals dangling from my neck. I smiled at him, then explained how I found it.

“Wow…it’s really pretty,” he finally said. “Well, um… now it’s my turn to amaze you.”

He dived into the water and I followed, he led me straight to a patch of seaweed, then he dipped one of his talons into it, and it came out with a clam inside. Then he handed it to me. What was supposed to do with it?

He used his talons to imitate opening something. Ohh, I realised he wants me to open it. I quickly pulled the top half of the clam of the bottom half and there in the centre of the remaining clam was the rock.
