Chapter 4

It was summer. We had all packed into two wagons. A part of a long wagon-train
from Darsylon. I was in the back, arguing with my littlest sister over our
favorite doll.

I could smell the sea air before I could see anything. Also the subtle change
in the vegetation the closer you came.

After days of travel, we finally step foot on the sand. All I remember was the
sound of the crashing waves. It was ever-lasting. A cascade of music that filled
both ears. I was immediately taken with the water. My mother spent time with
my smaller sisters, while my elder sisters had other interests. My father was
busy elsewhere. But I... I was in the water. We stayed at the beach for days.
I spent as much time swimming as I could. From sun-up to sun-down if my
parents would allow. I was teased by my elder sisters and called sea-cow and
all sorts of things, but it didn't matter. In the water, I was the closest
I could be, at the time, to flying. And so I loved it. That was the first
beach-trip I could remember, but we would go each year. That year, though.
The first year. That's the one I remember the best.

As I embark, further, into my study of shapeshifting... I embark to my next
challenge. The water. I am so curious what this next chapter is to hold...
