The detectives retraced the seahorse's journey, as revealed through the dream that Madame Drak and the Dreaming Dragons sent to the team. They started with Ochun, Orisha of the Rivers and Lakes and sister of Yemaya.
Two wily characters stole a couple of Dragon's Eye IDs, and tried to trick Ochun into thinking that our detectives were imposters. Fortunately, the team was able to convince her that they were the real heroes, with the magic from their Dragon Wings.
A swim through the ocean led to a little trouble with sharks. The detectives slowed them down so they could talk with them, and a Truth Jewel revealed that their names were Ruth and George. Ruth is a chaos demon and George is an order demon -- and it's a long story about how they came to work together against the Dragon's Eye Detectives. Let's just say they are Big Trouble. The team summoned a giant Sea Troll who gave them a free ride to another distant location.
One of the flying ships from last week's adventure helped the detectives fly across the sea to their next destination, which turned out to be Bloody Bay Wall. This is another amazing diving site, but the detectives didn't spend much time admiring the coral reef along the ledge. They promptly turned into massive adult sea dragons and dove down deep into the water.
I'm happy to say that the Detectives found the little sea dragon named Eya, and all was well in the end. Summarizing a mystery without giving away secrets for the next time it is run is a tricky business -- let's just say that the team had a lot of jewels available to put toward the fireworks and celebrations!
We had fun looking at books and a video about the Gardens of the Queen this week. This is a marine refuge created by Castro in 1976 to protect the coral reefs that he so loved. Over 800 laws keep this place in near pristine condition -- so it is a favorite place for divers.
The artwork for the week really shines with the children's love of sea creatures! Here is a link to the album on the Dragon's Eye Adventures Facebook page. Here is another link to the album that features the tiny sea creature the detectives sewed. They crafted giant eels, seahorses, sting rays, a saltwater crocodile, a shrimp, and a Caribbean reef shark.
