There hadn't been rain for longer than she could remember and it was starting to get a bit tiresome trying to find healthy prey. It was easier now just to scavenge and wait for something to die of thirst or starvation than it was to waste her energy with hunting. Even the lushness in the East had become so dry, and the North seemed like a death trap. Ricky chose to head south, hoping to escape the dryness of the other lands while visiting the coast. Was sea life suffering like the inland? Obsidian Beach had always been her favorite, it's reflective sand a majestic presence to welcome the power of the waves as they came rolling in. It was dark and yet held unmatched beauty by any other beach she'd seen, so naturally it was the first that she'd chosen to revisit. Her gait was smooth, pride in her step despite the healing wound on her right, upper forearm. She didn't doubt that it would scar, but she was looking forward to it! It was the first real fight that she'd ever experienced and the bite wound was worn like a badge of honor. Halfway through the healing process, it didn't hurt her like it had the first couple days- no, her stride was free and nearly whimsical. A smile plagued the fiend's inky lips as she looked over to the flat horizon the ocean offered, the sun was just setting and the black sands were shimmering reflective sunset hues from the sky. It was damn near perfect to witness, and in her solitude it was all for her. Her mismatched gaze would glance along the shore, making sure she was alone before she ventured out into the shallows of the water. Her heavy feet nearly danced with each high-step, coming down with enough force to playfully splash water from the waves she chased. A mischievous grin came across her features as she rushed after the receding shoreline, only to feel the mist of another wave roll in just before it washed a wave of salt-water up against her strong chest. As tall as she was, the waves still managed to reach up to her neck when she was rolling in and the rush of cold left her in a pause as she slowly adjusted to the frigid temperatures. They weren't unbearable, and with the density of her coat it wasn't hard to enjoy the water around her despite it. In fact, it was quite refreshing after spending so long in dry conditions. She dipped her head under the water and swam in the shallows for nearly an hour before the tide started to roll in, the waves growing higher and higher. By the time the moon stood above her and the sun had long past, she pulled herself out of the ocean and sprawled out on the black sand several feet away. She couldn't let herself fall asleep here, not out in the open like this.. but she just wanted to admire the place a little longer. |
