Carried away by a moon shadow

Oracle, it seemed, was a regular fountain of questions. Ocena smiled adoringly at her daughter before casting her attention towards the sea, inhaling its salty scent thoughtfully. This was a question that she did not know the true answer to. However, she did know the stories that her mother had told her when she was young. "When I was about your age, my mother told me that the sea was salty because it was filled with the tears of the wolves who created the world. She said that when they saw the perfection of the world that they created they were moved to tears, and these tears filled lowest valleys to create the ocean." She wasn't sure if she believed that anymore, in all honesty. Ocena had never seen any evidence that this world had been created by any mysterious wolves with vast powers, and to be quite honest, her life was perfect with Gargoyle and her children without mysterious magical wolves being added to it. "But that was what my mother believed. You, my darling, will have to form your own opinions." She could not accept everything that Ocena had to say without questioning any of it. Ocena watched patiently as Oracle set off to chase another appearance on the beach. Soon, the sands were teeming with them as the creatures made their blind ways towards the water. Soon, the predators would be on their way, Ocena knew. That was the way of the land; these creatures provided much needed meals for the birds that circled above and for the ones that lurked beneath the waves. A few of these critters would survive, however, and in time, they would lay their eggs and the cycle would begin again. When Oracle paraded up to her with a 'strange crab' in her maw, Ocena smiled at her daughter, "That is actually what is called a turtle, Oracle. Still, it is an excellent catch for such a mighty hunter as yourself." Leaning down to sniff the creature, Ocena was amused to see it immediately attempt to flee, heading towards the comparative safety of the ocean. "Speech." |
