The statue had killed most of the heirs after Orca. However, it would not move until the door was closed, no one was in the hallway leading to the hatchery, and with only heirs inside the room. It was originally thought by most of the [[Kingdom of the Sea]] that an unknown culprit was killing off the heirs instead of the statue. Orca was the first heir to the throne, so there were very few heirs after her, including [[Auklet]], [[Tsunami]], and [[Anemone]]. However, Anemone was an exception as Coral decided to stay beside her egg for the entire year before she hatched. After the egg did hatch, she had a harness made for Anemone to be attached to her all of the time, making life for her daughter very uncomfortable and stressful, but secure. Tsunami was also saved because Webs stole her egg before the statue could reach her.

Orca's Statue in the Graphic Novel

Orca's statue was an animus-touched statue that Orca carved of herself before she challenged Coral for the SeaWing throne. Orca donated the statue to the Royal Hatchery.

Description

The statue was carved of dark green marble,[1] decorated with garlands of blue and purple underwater plants woven through its horns and wings. Orca's name is inscribed in the base of its statue with various gemstones.[2]

History

Pre-Series

Orca enchanted the statue to kill any potential heirs to the SeaWing throne, enforcing a long and peaceful reign for Orca, had she managed to win the challenge and become queen. Since the enchantment was vague, the statue instead went about killing her mother's heirs upon Orca's death. Too late, Orca realized this, and as she died said that Coral should thank her, that she would rule forever. Coral instead blamed the death of her daughters on Webs, believing him to be the mysterious assassin.

Until Tsunami and the other dragonets visited the Kingdom of the Sea, all of the other heirs had killed by the statue, the only exception being Anemone. Right after Tsunami was attacked by the masked Whirlpool, she went to Queen Coral and told her of the event. Instead of searching the Summer Palace, she was deeply worried about whether or not the culprit was going to the Royal Hatchery to smash the only two eggs she had left. One of the eggs was smashed and the dragonet inside had her neck broken.

Shortly after Coral discovered this, she killed Tortoise, who was supposed to be inside the hatchery protecting the egg but was outside the hatchery, eating an octopus that Commander Shark had given her. Tsunami suggested protecting the egg herself. While she was in the hatchery, the statue came to life and tried to destroy the last egg (and kill Tsunami herself), but Tsunami fought it, pinned it to a crevice using a spear, and kicked the door open to freeze it in place. The egg hatched safely and the baby dragonet was named Auklet. Before Coral destroyed the statue, Anemone reanimated it and forced it to tell her who enchanted it. It revealed that Orca had enchanted the statue.

In the prologue, Gill sent Turtle to find Snapper. When Turtle was looking, his animus-touched coral kept trying to send him to the Summer Palace. Meanwhile, Gill was growing desperate. He left the hatchery, found Turtle and began shouting at him. Turtle decided, from this point on, to always stay inconspicuous and unnoticed. During this time, the Statue destroyed the eggs.

Trivia
