Weight In Silver and Gold

The sea that stretched on far in front of her was a brilliant shade of cerulean, the sun's faint rays gleaming brilliantly across its rippling surface. It was a stark contrast to the pale sands of the beach that seemed to make up most of this luscious island. It was a tropical paradise, and it was exactly what Nami had hoped to find upon leaving her homelands. The waters here were still cold but far warmer than the seas she was used to, and the long swim she'd had to endure to get out to this island had been tiring but not excruciatingly so. By the time she made it across the sun had set and she'd hunkered down for the night, and only when dawn broke was she able to fully take in the sights of Silver Island.

Paradise. No, really - she'd never seen anything more lovely in all her life. Tall palm trees sprouted up all around her and stretched high toward the cloudy sky. Though the sunlight was sparse it still made an attempt to creep through the clouds, and when it did she swore the world lit up completely. Though rain was definitely on the horizon it did little to dampen her spirits as she roused herself awake and began exploring the island, starting to poke through the vegetation of the tropical forest at the island's center. Of course her interest was on the water though and it wasn't long before Nami padded back to the shoreline, near the area she'd swam across to get here just the night before.

Slowly she trailed along the beach, enjoying the feeling of the warm sand against her paws. The shoreline was mostly unremarkable, littered with shells and old dried algae, and occasionally pieces of driftwood that had floated ashore. She passed a crab that was scuttling toward the water, and her gaze followed it and lifted until she saw something unusual coming to shore.. was that another wolf? It was really hard to tell. She hadn't smelled anyone else on this island yet so she was hopeful she might have some company. A grin broke out across her features as she tried to get the stranger's attention, tail wagging wildly in anticipation.
