everything the light touches

Venom couldn’t see how well she held Rebel’s attention, but by her silent awe there was an obvious seat edge she was hanging from. Once Venom had quieted the girl spoke with amazement and curiosity. Once one question was answered about the ocean it often felt like five more would take its place. The Empress knew that fact because she had once been in Rebel’s shoes. Her sweet little voice softened for a moment as she thought about what to ask further. Venom was somewhat vague, but there wasn't much to explain until she could show her daughter in person.

Rebel went on, asking if there was something that could be done to float in the ocean. She was very concerned considering how tired she got from the dens to here. Venom smiled encouragingly. "Well, you’ll keep getting stronger every day. Once you start swimming regularly you will find the task easier.” She assured her. "But, there are a couple of ways to see the ocean closer. On Ashen’s old lands the islands were connected with land bridges. You could see clearly into the waters on either side. There were corals and fish you can’t even imagine.” Venom promised with awe. "There is another way, but I’d prefer if you didn’t experiment much until you are a strong enough swimmer that should something happen you could make it back to shore.” She started. "There are rafts and boats that can be fashioned to glide and sit upon the water's surface.”
