Lissa
fortune favours the bold
She'd missed the sun. With all of her being, Lissa had yearned for the light of day to warm her scales and kiss her eyelashes. The glow of the moon was not quite enough for her to find gifts from the sea, or at least, not anything spectacular.
And now she finally had the sun back.
With the bright star overhead, while her tail coiled behind her in the lapping waves, far from the eyes and ears of any beach-goers, she combed the beach with greedy fingers. Damp sand sifted between them to leave broken bits of shell behind, and these she discarded back into the waters. None were perfect enough to decorate her hair or string into necklaces, which was a shame because she was growing bored of the old night-blooming flowers tied to her head with sea grass.
Movement startled her absent humming into a sudden halt, but Lissa hadn't enjoyed company since before LongNight. So she called out: "Who comes to visit me?"
