the language of waves</style>

The waves broke over shallow coral, cold spray blowing out to sea by the Frostfall breezes. They were strange breakers, to be certain, and the coral was oddly shaped… Perhaps a boulder? But did a boulder rise and grow from the depths? And did it writhe and struggle, a mixture of red fins, tan fins, aqua flashes, and opalescent scales? No.

What rose from the cool waves was neither coral nor boulder. It was horse— in some sense of the word. An aquatic warrior, plated in the sea’s armor and fitted with gills, crested from the surf. And in her jaws flailed a fish— a disc-shaped fish of gleaming, metallic scales and vermillion fins, as large as the woman’s barrel. It struggled, trying to returned to the sea; its size lent it strength, as strained and jerked the mare’s neck in its flailing. But, slowly, doggedly, the sea-borne mare drug the dying fish towards the shore.

It flopped desperately once, twice, sending a spray of salt and sand into the mare’s ridged face. But the fish, in all its opalescent glory, was as exhausted as the militant woman that tenaciously drug it out of the sea. Its exhaustion led to its demise, while Aquila’s led to her feast. The water had been frigid, where she had dove so deep trying to find some kind of passage back to her home— back to the Rift and Akvo. But the only thing she had found had been this ligurio*. It had been the ocean’s strange apology, for a ligurio was a difficult delectable to find and catch. Their flesh was sweet, their skin beauteous, their muscles strong and large.

There was a soft sucking sound as the gills on her shoulders opened and shut with each flare of her nostrils, body searching for more oxygen. It had been a long, arduous swim from the deep, all the while fighting this large fish. Too large eyes glare around her, head hung low as fish-blood dripped from her scaled lips onto the opalescent scales.

Fins around her face moving with each breath, she dropped her head and slowly began to slice into the ligurio’s flesh with her bladed horn.

*ligurio=opal - name of fish

Aquila is at the southern shores of DT, and she wants to join a herd, but has no idea she's in a herdland :O
Also, the fish she's drug up on the sand is this pretty thing
approach at your own risk, she might get territorial of her catch ;]
