All that is gold does not glitter; any

[Eva]

She cannot keep her eyes off the mythical creature. There was something enchanting about it. A creature of the sea she has never seen before. How could she have ever missed it?

Eva watches with curiosity. The same curiosity that she has always had since she was a young filly. It is a curiosity that children lose when they grow up, but the purple nereid simply has not. She may ever lose her child-like wonderment of the world.

Her warm eyes follow the mythical creature where he swims. At least as much as she can. She laughs softly when she feels him pass through her forelegs. Her gaze traces to where the creature lifts up, transforming now into something different—a shifter of sort, she guesses.

The mythical creature is gold and flecked with white, still matching the metallic gold it adorns moments ago. Eva has never seen anything like it before. A creature so beautiful. A creature that could be anything, perhaps?

Her purple ears flick forward as a voice comes from the mythical shifter. A handsome smile spreads across his reptilian face. Eva keeps her eyes carefully on his emerald ones. She is stuck in his trance again. It wouldn’t be possible for her to remove her gaze from his own now.

Eva can feel her cheeks burn brightly from the words that the sea creature says next. “Nowhere I rather not be either,” she says, her smile widens a bit further. The nereid had never been quiet so enchanted. It was only the sea that made her feel like she does now, but for the first time it was not. The shifter instantly caught her interest.

“I’m Eva,” she offers with a gently tilt of her finely shaped Arabian cranium.
