My time tied to the sea had been eye opening to say the least. I had traveled to depths that my earthly lungs could not endure. A world apart in all ways to the shores in which I seek now. My plaything had departed some time ago. If he stayed in the depths or left for the air I do not recall.
Now I must return to the land and continue my search to find a new home. Even though Baltia would be a good fit for my Kelpie self, there is a part of me still longing for connection to my equus self.
I swim lazily towards the sandy shores as dusk begins to take hold. My elegant, finned tail swishes casually as my head breaks the surface to see my trajectory. A new scenery lays ahead. One of bright pastel colors of almost a fantasy like presence. My mind muses what kind of life flourishes here. Perhaps the fairies dwell elsewhere than just the Mountain.
As I enter the shallows my forelimbs pull my aquatic form closer to the shoreline. When the sandy bottom finally makes contact with my tail I begin my transformation. Gone is the fish like appendage and replacing it is my equine hindquarters. I lower my delicate face to the cool aqua at my hooves. A soft snort rattles from my chest as my sapphire blue eyes scan the area.
Reaching the sandy coast, I begin to walk casually along the sunset beach. I take note of the bursts of colors muted by the setting of the sun and the familiarity of it to my underwater home. Often cast more dreary by the awkward sunlight beneath the water's surface.
A soft breeze picks up as the sky darkens, tousling my ebony mane against my scaled skin. Without the warming rays of light, a chill begins to seep into my bones. My eyes cast ahead to search for a shelter for the evening, but instead I find a faint glow seemingly floating upon the winds. My movements stop as I watch with suspicion. The lantern fish of the depths would tempt unsuspecting prey to their gaping jaws with such sorcery. My right ear flicks backwards, soon followed by my left. The creature within me creeps forward. I would not be a moth to the flame tonight...
