Time to begin

His paws lumbered somewhere on the edge of the travelling crowd, closely behind the leading brothers. He kept fairly quiet throughout the trip, occasionally imagining how their future home would look like and if it would satisfy every family member. It was just another repeat of his conversation with his sister. There was doubt with the satisfaction part, but as long as it wasn't another volcano, he would be fairly pleased. Apparently his older kin had already seen their new home, so surely it wouldn't be a disappointment.

There was a change in the wind and atmosphere as the trek veered to its finish. The stench of salt clung to the warm air. Only one landscape he knew of fitted that description. They had to be near the coastline. Was that where they were going to inhabit? Or were they simply using the coast to travel around the continent?
Momentarily, his queries were answered as a bronze gaze swept across an open beach, filled with unusual black sand. The continuous tide pulled the roaring and swallowing waters back and forth. This was it? Voltage and Glacier trotted ahead to stand upon conveniently placed rocks to address the family.

"It's...different." He managed to admit, casting long glances across the endless waters. He wasn't expecting this, but it certainly was different from the volcano. For starters there was nothing green, was that going to be a dilemma? His feelings were quite unsure at the moment. Did he like it? Was it good enough even if it wasn't what he planned? He didn't know.
Like fire itself, the hot-headed woman known as his sister burst into a rage, finding the obsidian beach appalling. His stance shrunk a little as if he could avoid her sharp piercing words. Eyes watched her with a blank stare, unsure if he should mess with her problem. Tears pricked at her eyes as she pelted back the direction they came, chased by the lightning-like Voltage. The older male flashed him a final glance, almost reminding him of their earlier conversation on the family's energy. Was this what he meant? His eyes next laid upon the deep purple form of one of his younger celestial siblings. She seemed to be leaving as well, followed by another sister. As much as he wanted to help, their business was none of his. Everyone was leaving! Was it that bad? Surely the beach wasn't as disappointing as some believed.
