SIDON

It would seem that Prince Sidon was in for a whirlwind of adventure today! And he would certainly not complain, in part because he really hadn't developed the speech abilities to convey verbal messages yet, but mostly because even though he was just a little hatchling, he still had a big heart for such excitement! He'd woken up that morning in a terribly large tank that provided a challenge straight away, because while it was nice to have so much room to swim around that morning, he eventually wanted to get out, and climbing to the top, he peered down at the long, long drop to the floor.

It took him a while, wriggling a little with anticipation and indecision, looking around hopefully so that his sister might show up and guide him, but he was on his own in this one, it seemed. He had to be strong! He had to be brave! He had to go ahead and leap...!

"Oof!"

And land not too gracefully right on the floor, shaking his head a little and rubbing his poor bottom that he'd landed on. Clearly, he could stand to work on his style there! But it was just a temporary set-back, because he'd done it! Ha-ha! Eagerly, he pushed himself up to his feet, scrambling slightly, and then rushed over to the door, pumping his little arms as he ran and being careful not to trip over his dragging headtail.

Now. The door! Sidon gaped slightly, blinking up at the knob, which, while not nearly as tall as the tank, was still pretty far up there, and he reached up for it, but to no avail. He tried again, this time straining as much as he could, standing up on his very tippy-toes, reaching, reaching....! Nothing! He settled back on his feet flat with a huff of frustration, a little pout, and then he took a deep breath. Never give up! That's what Mipha would say. Don't give up, Sidon! You can do it! I believe in you! And, with that little pep talk coursing through him, he nodded, gave his fist a bolstering pump, and then tried again, this time, jumping up as he reached for the doorknob...

...and still couldn't reach it.

Oh, fishscales! This pesky tall door! But Sidon was not going to let some silly tall door get in his way of adventure, oh, no! He was just going to have to keep trying!

And keep trying he will, amid many jumps and hops and reaches and little frustrated grunts, but he was not giving up!
