Coral ordered Moray to fetch Piranha and Shark, and Moray accompanied them to investigate the body, which was revealed to be Kestrel's body.

The next morning, Moray was present during a council meeting. While Whirlpool described how well Coral's newest scrolls were selling, Moray interrupted by mentioning that the underwater editions, which she spent much of her time promoting, were especially popular. She also mentioned that SeaWing schools had adjusted their curriculums to ensure that dragonets had ample time to read more of Coral's scrolls.
