Enjoy the little moments
By surprise, Locha found herself up on the crags by the shore. She was lying on a piece of flat rock, little pieces of seagrass sprouting around her. The girl blended in almost perfectly with the black sand on the beach. Her black fur matched the rocks and her white mask and legs matched the seafoam. She felt at ease here, so close to her element, although she often wondered how the others were doing here. It was and ideal place to live for her, but what about her many siblings? She remembered Sere's outburst when they arrived here, and it still worried her. Was she being selfish again? These darker thoughts were purged from her mind as she heard a bark from Glacier. Curiously she peeked over the edge of her crag, seeing her mountainous brother sitting in the swell near the shore. His back was to her. Locha smiled. It had been a while since she'd properly spent time with him. Despite how Locha seemed when you spoke to her, Locha was actually quite shy and seldom seemed people out for conversation. She kept to herself, rather than bothering anyone who didn't really want her there.
Locha looked down at the swirling sea below. The current wasn't too strong here, and the water was plenty deep. With a happy bark to her brother, she leapt off the rock fearlessly, landing in the cooling waters below. Smiling, Locha swam to her brother, her strong legs carrying her almost effortlessly. |
