What started out as a chase quickly turned into a race. The pair ran as fast as their legs could carry them and it quickly became clear where they were headed. Angelus had been to the swamp before. He was rather fond of the place. There was lots of pokey things to mess with and loads of freaky animals to chase. Once he'd even seen a swimming snake. A snake that swam! How cool was that? He'd only ever seen them on land, so of course he went and investigated. Turned out it was a really mean snake and it kept trying to bite him, so after a few sneaky nips on his part, the boy backed off and left it alone. ANYWAY. Why was Psalm bring him to the swamp? There was a lot of water, sure, but it's nearly as massive as the boy had led him to believe.
Soon it became clear why Psalm had brought him through the swamp. On the other side of, the swamp opened up into a almost treeless, boggy "field" of sorts. Like in the rest of the swamp, the water grass was tall and thick, but because this place was so close to the ocean and frequently battered by storms, trees didn't last very long. Tall, spindly stumps dotted the scape. Some stood straight and tall, and others lay bent and broken, but none boasted greenery of any kind.
And there it was.
The tall mucky grass gave way to sand and opened up to a vastness that took his breath away. While Psalm charged headlong into the water, Angelus skidded to a halt and simply stared.
