Chapter 30 : Gill
"Wait, how are we able to interview HIM?" Blister asked.
"Beats me, but our sponsors said it would boost our views." Orchid said, fiddling around with the orchid that she tucked beside her horn and ruff.
"Filming in 3... 2... 1." Said the camera dragon, Eel as it turned out, and Orchid jumped as the cameras turned on.
"Welcome back to the Orchid and Blister show, and today we're interviewing the (deceased) king of the SeaWings!" She said, and a surprisingly sane looking pea green SeaWing walked down and sat in the chair beside Orchid and Blister.
"I'm pleased to be here." He said, and narrowed his eyes at Blister, and Blister narrowed hers back.
"So, first question." Orchid said. "Did you interact with your sons? And can you name them off for us?"
"Ok, so, first, yes. I knew my sons and would've loved all of my daughters the same equal way." Gill said. "Second, yes. The males in our first clutch was Seaweed, Gulper, and Octopus. Our second clutch was Eel, Isle, Clam, and SandDollar. Our third clutch was Seagull and Octave, and our forth clutch was Gull, Hurricane, Storm, Trench, and Singer." Orchid nodded in agreement.
"How did it feel to be killed by your eldest living daughter?" Blister said bitterly.
"How did it feel to be killed my a jewel, Blister?" Gill snapped back. Orchid chuckled.
"I like 'em." She said and earned a glare from Blister. "But seriously, how did it feel to be killed by a daughter you never knew you had?"
"Well, I have to admit that she's an amazing fighter." Gill said with a chuckle. "And it felt relieving, like she was doing me a favor."
"What was it like to be insane and going a month without water?" Orchid asked.
"Well, it literally felt like I was going insane." Gill said. "I would get these major headaches and hallucinations. I hatted it. I even tried to drink my own blood, and you might've too, considering the circumstances. I still think Tsunami did me a favor by killing me."
"I do too." Blister said.
"Oh, and did you support her as your kingdom's ally?" Orchid asked.
"Nope." Gill said. "I thought she was a lying cheat who didn't care if we lived or died." Orchid shrugged.
"You where pretty correct." She said.
"Yup." Blister said, nodding her head.
"Oh, what was going threw you mind when you were insane?" Orchid asked.
"Well, all I knew was that If I fought enough and lived, I would go free. Also, I needed water." Gill said. "I couldn't even remember who I was."
"Apparently neither did Scarlet." Orchid said.
"What?" Blister asked.
"Well think about it. If she knew he was king, she may've use him to find out where the Summer palace is so Burn could defeat one more enemy of the war. I mean, if they could, they would. Right?" Orchid said as everyone stared at her. "What?"
"That's idiotic." Blister said. "Pfft. RainWings."
"Pfft. SandWings." Gill said.
"PFFFFFFFT YOU GUYS." Orchid said. "So, do you support Riptide as Tsunami's partner?"
"Well, I have mixed feelings on that." Gill said. "I think Riptide's a strong and healthy dragon who'll do go of Tsunami, but on the other talon, his family was treasonous."
"Anyway, did you know That Coral compared you to Whirlpool? In a GOOD way?" Blister asked and Gill hissed:
"No. Whirlpool was an idiotic, weird dragon who was intent of taking my place."
"Oh, tell me how you really feel." Blister said.
"ANYWAY, how do you feel about Orca?" Orchid asked.
"Well..." Gill said. "I'm not exactly sure. On one talon, she tried to kill Coral for the thrown, but on the other talon, She was my daughter."
"Did you know she was the one who enchanted the statue to kill of the other heirs?" Blister asked.
"Well, no. I didn't." Gill said.
"Did you know it's mostly your partner's fault for putting the statue of of Orca in the hatchery and all of your dragonets but three are dead because of her?" Blister asked.
"Um." Gill mummered.
"Oh, did you know that your oldest and most annoying daughter, who also killed you, is friends with four other dragonets from four different tribes? Think about that." Blister said.
"Well, I didn't know that either. Apparently I'm ill informed." Gill said as he scratched his gills. "Um. Why exactly?"
"Because you have horrid messengers that-" Blister started, but Gill cut her off.
"No, why was she with four other dragons?"
"Oh. I don't know. Maybe she was in a traveling circus? Or was it a singing group? I think she was playing a guitar." Blister said sarcastically.
"You' re talking about the prophecy, right?" Gill asked.
"Noooo of course not." Blister said sarcastically.
"Anyway, do you miss Coral?" Orchid asked.
"Well, you would miss Mangrove if he was gone. So yeah. I do." Gill said sadly.
"Do you have any last words for her?" Orchid asked kindly.
"Well, yes, I do." Gill said and turned to the cameras. "I just want you to know I love you, and it wasn't Tsunami's fault for killing , just understand it's better this way."
His words hung in the air for a moment.
"What if you could see her one last time?" Orchid asked.
"It would make me the happiest dragon in the world." Gill said sadly.
Orchid smiled as Coral walked on stage, looking back at the three dragonets walking after her. When she saw Gill, her whole face brightened and she ran to embrace him in a hug.
"Oooooo I've missed you soooooo much." She said, muffled.
"I've missed you to." Gill whispered.
"Mommy," Aluket squeaked. "Who's that funny dragon?"
"This is your father, dear." Coral said, and Gill chuckled at Aluket's confused expression.
"Deer's a weird name." She said. Tsunami and Anemone stayed to the side, in a mix of wonder and awe.
"Well, that's it for tonight." Orchid said. "Tomorrow we'll be interviewing Moray and general Shark. This is Orchid, and I'm closing episode thirdly of the Orchid and Blister show."
