The rickety old wooden dock creaked as Silurian swung his legs over the edge. Its warning it was well beyond its prime fell on deaf ears though. If it didn't already collapse under his weight, it could last another day. That was his logic for survivors. His paws grazed the surface of the blue waters, disturbing small fish and kelp that called the old wood of the dock home.

He'd asked Harper last night about the sightseeing spots near Ealei's eldertree, and in the morning did everything opposite of his advice- for he actually wanted to avoid the crowds of nins. Sightings of the Ancient Spirit this summer had attracted a wild crowd wanting to see it too. His goal today? Observe the spirit as much as he could for his first journal entry in the region.

The salty breeze ruffled his fur. It carried a mix of the ocean scent and a lingering smoky smell of roasting fish and fruit... He thought about picking up some manaberries right from the branches of the mangroves to bring back to Harper later.

Silurian stretched back and withdrew his notebook, drawing in the sight of the magnificent Yggdrasil. It stood as the centerpiece of the creamy blue sky and billowing white clouds, wrapped up in a blanket of the pristine ocean. The summer sun flitted through the leaves in its branches, casting a dappled shade across his skin. Just faintly, curled around the trunk, he could discern the shape of a serpent, it's ghostly pale scales seemingly only visible through angled sunlight.

His pencil drew around the mildly crumpled page of his notebook. He traced the shape of the trunk and the tangle mangrove roots and dashed fluffy loops to represent leaves. Jagged pillars of stone decorated the horizon of the ocean outlined by clouds that touched the ocean floating through the sky.

Though as he began to outline the skeletal structure of the Ancient Spirit, a sudden splash yanked his attention away from the page. Its tail had dipped into the ocean, raking up a glittering cascade of water. Small speckles of silver also dotted the wave, which quickly- flop- revealed itself to be fish tossed down around him on the dock.

Was this how it fished? He curiously noted it down.

A bit of glee filled his expression and with a twirl of his pencil, he hooked one of the flopping fish before it could flip itself back into the water. Perfect for some free dinner tonight!
