Sand Between My Toes

By the time they'd gotten to the cove it was evening. Wow, had the time really gone by so fast? She supposed it made sense and it really wasn't anything to feel ashamed of that they'd covered such a swath of territory already. The sun was bright and orange as it descended toward the horizon, casting a gentle warm glow across the beach. Like the loner had said it was covered in black sand. Natha stretched out her toes and lightly needed at the sand which was warm from the sun shining on it all day. "Ahhhh, this feels good. I like it here quite a bit. I will say one thing for Boreas there are a bunch of interesting places here. What brought you to this land anyway, Tamsyn?"

Higher up in the sky she could just see the stars beginning to shine. They started gently at first, twinkling softly like little sparkles in the sky. It was beautiful here. Near the horizon she could just make out a particularly brilliant star, or was that a plant? Yes, come to think of that she was pretty sure that was Venus though her astronomy skills weren't as practiced as she wished they were. Still there was always time to start stopping and appreciating the world around her.
