Low tide. It was only by chance that the red hybrid spotted the newly unhidden path, something that meant immediate investigation. After a while the waters would rise and cover the path, hiding it from sight and potentially trapping him at the place that it might lead. Conri was smarter than that though, having lived by the ocean for such a time, he knew when the tide would change and when would be wise to start his journey back. Of course, that was assuming that it led him somewhere that he couldn't get back from in a different way. Just another part of the beach, perhaps, which he considered as he started his way down the path. It seemed, after a short time of walking, that he was lucky he was on two legs, for soon the path grew more narrow, the wall beside him more rocky, and before long he was shuffling his way inside the small opening of a cave. Though the entrance seemed small, the inside of the cave was gigantic and made jade eyes widen at the sight. Water filled the bottom, a glowing blue, unlike anything that he had ever seen before. It was mesmerizing. He stood there against the wall for a while, just staring at the water, before continuing along his way. The glow from the water cast enough light that he was able to easily find his way down the path, which met a larger stretch of land toward the back of the cave. He could see something there, though he was unsure what. As he continued along it became slightly more clear. Wood, it seemed, broken up and scattered, obviously from some kind of ship. |
