Seaside
An older maiden would not have been so entranced by the sun that she would be so captured, the divots in the sand from where the unicorn’s invisible hooves stepped easily seen, if she’d been looking, or the sound of their large bodies plodding along, and wading through the water quite carrying, to those who listened. But her singing and the sun lured the dreamy-eyed sea nymph into a state of obliviousness, so much so, that when the black bird suddenly darts in towards her comb, she doesn’t even swipe at it, merely throws her hands to her mouth and quiets a shrill, mermaid scream of surprise. That does not last long, however; when a second bird actually makes off with her shell, the maid’s hands fall, and her once pretty mouth widens, revealing multiple rows of slender, shredding teeth. With a vibrating, peculiar sound of rage, the maiden’s gills expand on her neck, and she lunges from her rock after the flying birds with snatching fingers. When the light suddenly bursts across the horizon and all is lost to her vision, her hands uselessly fumble at open air, the birds almost impossible for her to grab if she could see at all, much less blinded like she was. Growling and recoiling against the side of her rock, she presses her palms over her eyes, removing them only when she hears Roland’s shout. She knows common, and looks out across the water at the beasts jettisoning towards her. With a frightened scream, she fumbles backwards onto the shore, her wet scales gleaming as her translucent, coffee hued fins splash in the shallows. Pale granules of sand cling to her dark arms as she clambers onto the beach, knowing she cannot remain here long, but also terrified of being alone in that water. Fretfully looking at the bird with her shell (her only means to call her friends in the water), she reaches upwards, but her face is not angry, this time. It’s desperate. [ Weaver manages to fly off with the shell - but the mermaid can't call for help without it. ] Tallsun Y8 Sneak Patrol |
