The ocean's beat on the shore, cascading whites, blues, and greens. The waves tell stories of sorrow, happiness, and adventure. This is what my dreams hold. Riva's eyes opened and she sighed as the morning sun beat down on her face, but she smiled and stretched to the warmth. Sounds of harps and drums being played danced around her ears. A typical day in the village of Arian. Everyone wakes to the music of the ocean and the players. "Riva, are you awake?!" Agnar, her father called. "Yes," Riva called back as she dressed. "I'm coming." Agnar was the King of their people, the Alpha Bull. He was strong and wise and kind. He looked like everything a king should look like, muscular, shoulder-lenght dark-brown hair, and deep brown eyes. Riva danced out of their stone hut and went down toward the sea. "Riva!" her father called again. Riva didn't listen, she kept gliding down toward the beach. "Fine, be careful, don't let the other bulls harass you!" Agnar warned. "Yes, father!" Riva called and unwound her seal skin from her waist as she prepared for a morning swim. You see her people were Selkies, being that took on a form of a seal, but could strip off their seal skin and turn into humans to walk on land...
Sugar. Spice. Everything twice. I'm the left and the right, in a word: Nice.
