The sun hung high in the summer sky, casting shimmering waves of heat across Soul Sand Cove. The black sand crunched beneath Yara's paws as she padded slowly along the shoreline, her eyes scanning the beach for anything unusual. The ocean was calm today, the gentle roll of waves lapping against the shore, leaving behind bits of seaweed and shells. But that wasn't what she was looking for.
Yara's sharp gaze flicked over a glint in the sand, something catching the sunlight just right and calling to her. Curiosity piqued, she lowered her head and sniffed, brushing a layer of sand aside with her paw to reveal a shiny object half-buried in the black grains. A small, smooth shell encrusted with tiny, glittering crystals lay nestled there, its edges glinting in the sunlight. It was an iridescent marvel, sparkling as if it had captured the summer sun itself.
She picked it up carefully between her teeth, its smooth surface cool to the touch. The shell was delicate but eye-catching, something that would surely grab the attention of anyone.. she hoped to find a buyer in the Armada market for such a spectacle. A sly grin formed on Yara's lips as she imagined the trade unfolding. This shiny little treasure would surely bring her something worthwhile.
With her prize secured, Yara padded back up the beach, beginning to head back to the Armada to see what stalls might be available for the day.
