The Diamond of Kalea is located on Kalea's extreme west coast and called as such because its completely made of a crystalline substance called Skyglass. Home of the Alvina of the Stars, cultural mecca of knowledge seekers, and rife with Ethaefal, this remote city shimmers with its own unique light.

Kelski was on her day off. Usually the Kelvic used the time to gather food stores and work on her home which was coming along nicely in her estimation. Cave living in Lhavit wasn't all that glamorous. People in the city lived far better. But being Kelvic, Kelski didn't mind the rudimentary accommodations. Things would get better. But she needed time and to be able to settle into life in Lhavit. That would come, and most of it would come with her getting better at her chosen profession.

However, her Master at the Shining Diamond had indeed charged her with gathering some natural stones, things she could do some practice jewelcrafting on and so the Sea Eagle had headed to The Tranquil Port. She'd bypassed where the docks were and moved further out, onto the extensive arms of the bay. Here, her Master had explained to her that pearls were sometimes found in oysters that dwelled under the sea. He'd even gone so far as to show Kelski what an oyster looked like. That made Kelski long for one until she realized that the best way to find them was to dive deeply and hold ones breath for a long time. She couldn't even swim well. So the Sea Eagle had resorted to walking along the receding tideline and picking up tumbled stones along the shore including sea glass, which she'd amassed quite a bit of.

Her belt pouch was nearly full and she'd been at it for almost an hour before she finally turned to retrace her steps down the beach and return back to the cave to sort her loot and decide which she'd present to Li for him to decide what she'd make of them.

They laugh at me because I am different.
I laugh at them because they are all the same.

Pearls & Fish Scales (Una)

The beach moved beneath her webbed feet like the shifting scales of the Rainbow Trout whose shimmering scales resided in the small pouch in her back pack. Schism dashed through the sand his flailing paws tossing sand toward her. Sticking on her moist white skin it scratched irritably forcing her to brush it off every few moments leaving sticking sand on the tips of her fingers.

Since the birth yesterday the puppies and their mother had been in a constant cycle of whimpering, sleeping and feeding while Schism paced along the blockade whimpering himself. He evidently wanted to be near the intriguing smells and squirming warm forms of his children. Una felt terrible for depriving him of his children and only Fai's seriousness kept her from opening the blockade and reuniting the pair and their children.

To escape the noise and anxiety she had slipped away during the break with Schism to enjoy the sea breeze and calming relative quiet. However, the squealing gulls that flipped through the air, torrid crashing of the waves beating the shore like a drum was hardly the relative quiet she had been looking for. For the first time, the sea held no peace for her.

Summer was ending, falls cool breeze tainted the air so thoroughly Una could taste it on the tip of her tongue. Her feet were painted with moisture as the sea poured over her ankles frothing with bubbles of white. Meanwhile, Schism splashed into the water after the stick Una had just hauled into the sea.

Long tendrils of his white, black and brown hair stretched out across the frothing water as he threw himself into the pounding waves grabbing the stick between his maws before heading back to shore. It was amusing to Una, to see a land animal battle its way awkwardly in her own home.

Chasing the dog into the waves Una felt her body lay weightless on the watery abode. Slowly lowering herself into the water she chased after the muddy paws that pummeled the sand leaving a cloudy trail for her to follow as she propelled herself forward through the shallow waves.

In the distance another silhouette was framed by the light of Syna her tall stature loomed over the Schism and Una. Immediately, Schism dropped the stick and dashed playfully toward the figure. Pausing several feet from her legs his tail stuck straight up in the air as he barked, his tone deep and reverberating across the sand.

"Schism!" Una called trying to pitch her voice as commandingly as possible, Spirits lesson singing in her memory. Hesitating the large Mountain dog slowly turned and returned to his side though his eyes never left the tall woman.

As she drew closer to the form, attaching Schisms leash as she did she noticed the dark kohl around her bright sea blue eyes and the wavy black and white locks that swayed over her shoulders. Una's own tentacles wiggled and writhed with curiosity at the obviously odd colouring and form of the human. Moving deeper into the ocean her green Lhavitian dress getting soaked to the knee as she gave the woman room to pass her easily without drawing to close to the excited Schism.
