Yuck. This place was.. interesting, to say the least. It was definitely like nowhere he'd ever been before. At first glance, it hadn't seemed much different than any other beach, wedged between the eastern coast of the continent and the dormant volcano to the east. His interest had been piqued, the sound of a trip to the ocean quite appealing - even though it hadn't been long ago at all that he'd made the trek over the bridge of sand that separated the two continents. The thought of even wading in the salty water sounded pretty intriguing today, too. The sun had begun to set by the time he found himself padding along the shoreline, staring dreamily beyond the horizon. Eventually, from the corner of his eye, he saw a spider scuttle by - no, not just one, but a few. Kai wasn't one to be easily spooked by things, but the sudden group of insects made him dart to the side, nose wrinkling. It was then he realized that another had crawled over his paw, and he nearly yelped in surprise when he realized that the sand was suddenly crawling with the beasts. Nasty! The setting sun had apparently obscured the spiders, and he couldn't help but wonder how long they'd been crawling around beneath him - and hopefully not on him. He shivered a bit, suddenly imagining spiders crawling all over his coat. The only reasonable solution was to go where they couldn't, right? With that thought, he headed toward the water, bracing himself for the cold water as the tide rolled up and lapped at his paws. At least he was temporarily free from the spiders, even if the water was a bit colder than he'd anticipated. |
