to be lit up from within
vein by vein
Melita didn’t keep track of debts or owed missives; in some way, it all evened out in the end. Compassion and kindness were things to be extended, even if half the time she was embedded in rancorous, fiery edges, and saluted both The surf and swell didn’t impede much – crystal clear water allowing them a perfect vision of what was laden by their toes. Aurelia’s method of moving the seaweed, casting it out of her sights, would prove to be quite useful – as she would soon find something ivory, an off-white, poking out of the shallows. She’d have to be quick to snag at it though, as another wave came quickly, swiftly, and might have caused her to lose sight of it.
Sunjata, however, did not have as much fortune. Despite his sea turtle notions, a reputable idea, the reptile’s efforts didn’t contribute into anything but unearthing a large amount of wayward crabs, and they weren’t content with the sudden violation of their privacy. They skittered and skimmed over to the closest threat (namely, of course, Sunjata), snapping their pincers over his skin, before wandering off in their discontent.
And the honeybee youth, with Fangorn bobbing along and searching alongside, had some stroke of luck too. Beneath her feet was a gilded piece, glimmering and emboldened, and though she knew it wasn’t a bone, she couldn’t resist the avaricious pull and call, hands going for it, sifting through sand.
