Discoveries

A shimmer of delight sparks in Sericea's luminescent green eyes, reflecting the vibrant summer sun overhead. "Colorful stones?" She repeats, a hint of playful mischief in her tone. Her tail unfurls and sways behind her like a lively pendulum. With a sweeping gaze toward the ground, she mimicks him- catching sight of a scattered multitude of stones — from jet black to iridescent shimmer — nestled within the obsidian rocks. But of course, she isn’t able to search for long before her brother declares his discovery. Casting a curious glance in his direction, she is immediately taken by surprise.

Sericea's eyes widen as the emerald gleams in the sunlight, her lips curling upward in a beam. "It's beautiful," she breathes out, entranced by its sheer luminescence. A pang of jealousy cuts through her, a longing look given to the gleaming stone that Zagan had unerringly found. After a final lingering glance, her attention shifts back toward the ground as she searches for her own treasure. Paws aflutter with a newfound determination, Sericea embarks on her pursuit, each step taken with a keen awareness. Her gaze meticulously scans the obsidian terrain, hued eyes exhibiting a focused glint that rivals Zagan's. A mirthful gasp escapes her as her search bears fruit. Nestled within the shimmering black rocks, a fiery red gemstone catches her eye. Its radiant glow contrasts vividly with the surrounding obsidian, captivating her attention entirely.

"Zagan!" She calls over her shoulder, her voice rich with the thrill of discovery. "I've found one!" Swiftly, she moves toward the gem, her lithe form maneuvering easily through the uneven terrain. Gentle paws carefully scrape away the sharp obsidian encasing the stone. A few painstaking moments later, she manages to pry the gem out, holding it up triumphantly for Zagan to see.
