Hope this is okay! It's set in Sea Dog Isle, but I can change that if it doesn't suit you. ^^ Sorry it took me so long to get it up!


It had been a long time since Lili had gone swimming. Almost never did she do so in her Optime form, but it was good practice, and her muscles could use the change of pace. She'd swum all the way to this island, and when she'd gotten here, she'd found green as far as the eye could see...and strange coins on the ground, buried beneath the sand. Fog rolled in from farther inland, and Lili was left with three coins in her hand and one between her fingers, holding it up to the light. It was almost eery, the way it glinted greedily, and the light caught it perfectly. It seemed just the sort of thing that would tug at her heart, if...she knew what it was meant to be.

There was a picture of what she was certain was a human, when she looked closer, and she nearly threw the coins away from herself in terror when she made the realization. Humans were cursed; the coins had to be, as well. She shuddered slightly, and stepped away from them, but a ghostly moaning from the trees made her hesitate once more. If the coins had once been important, it was even more so that they remain undisturbed. She bent within the fog cloud and gathered the ones she could see, and then dug a small hole with one hand, carefully tipping the five--five? Hadn't there been four?--coins into it. Then she covered it and stepped away, drawing a symbol in the air which meant be gone in her family.

She shivered and rubbed her arms, careful of the steps she took as she walked down the beach. The fog had, by now, covered the water, as well--it probably wasn't safe to swim back yet. So Lili walked, very careful not to look down when her feet brushed something or she stepped on an oddly shaped "rock", and tried to ignore the signs of unrest around her.
