We tell ourselves that ocean waves come from gravitational pulls and wind and tremors deep within the planet. This is surely the case in a world where no wonder is left. However, those with slightly more rose-tinted eyewear have come to realize that the movements of the great waters are actually caused by deep-sea dragons.
Before you scoff, please picture yourself floating in the most bewilderingly gigantic body of water you can. At any depth you can name, suddenly a warmer current caresses you, or a wave comes from a different direction to slap you on the back of the head. This is no random occurrence. It's a small dragonling losing just a little bit of control of his or her designated bit of water... or perhaps an older dragon reminding you that you aren't the biggest fish in the sea.
Only months after being born, deep-sea dragonlings are given a small bit of their parents' water current to keep for their very own. They must learn to shape and move this water without losing it for the rest of their lives, sometimes gaining more water from other dragons as they pass away, sometimes sneaking bits away from rivals to impress mates.
When a deep-sea dragonling is first given its tract of water, the dragon is no longer than a few inches, the bit of water its parents have given it usually more or less the size of a pea. While very rarely viewed, the much more wily adult deep-sea dragon may rival the blue whale in size, with hundreds of Olympic swimming pools' worth of its own water floating around it in a shield of pure crystalline beauty, or in a tempest if the dragon has been unfortunate enough to come across littering humans.

This piece depicts a nervous young deep-sea dragonling, curled up on the ocean floor, nervously cupping his tiny water ball (a clear glass marble) under his tail. He has a light green body with coral-like scale patterning, some tiny white barnacles, golden sea shells for horns, gold-tipped metallic green fin on the dorsum side of head and tail, gold-toned tail, and a pretty little turtle shell on his back. If he didn't move, it's more than likely that, should you be scuba-diving nearby, you would never tell he was there.
The statue is only just over an inch high, and just a couple of inches wide. It's a perfect small reminder that our oceans are precious not only to us, but to those who dwell in them as well.
