2nd of Winter, 519AV
Kamilla was in a good mood, perhaps even a great one, though there was no one reason behind it. Her twenty seventh birthday was fast approaching and, for once, the mage felt as if she'd be spending it in a place she wanted to be and with people she wanted to be around… Jehu came to mind. Her Zith friend had returned to his handsome Chaktawe form, but unlike her, wasn't capable of switching back and forth between the two. She still had no idea what had happened to make her the special case, was it the magic coursing through her veins that had caused the reaction? She had high doubts about that theory, but had no other ideas besides simply having gotten lucky.
It was unusual, while taking on a completely different form for an entire season wasn't the most normal thing to experience, having two forms instead of one which she could switch between at will, like a kelvic, was something else entirely. Having the Konti form be a part of her only intensified the desire she'd had to learn more about the beautiful aquatic race the season before. But, where in Fall she'd simply reasoned that it wasn't too important a goal since she was only going to be stuck in the form for a season, spending the rest of her life with the form in mind was not so easily ignored.
The Konti form itself was at least one of the reasons she was in such a good mood. Throughout the Fall season, Kamilla had been acutely aware of the one thing she'd miss about her Konti form… her aquatic abilities, and now that it didn't seem to be going anywhere, she felt extremely lucky and relieved. Swims in the ocean had become an almost daily occurrence, perhaps even a hobby, either way it was something she really enjoyed.
Currently, Kamilla could be found at the bottom of the sea floor nearby Syka's beach, after her ordeal with a massive shark and two fish creatures the season prior, the Konti had learned to stick close to the shore as well as to stay away from the open water, sticking closely to the sea bed instead.
Each day Kamilla found herself exploring more and more of the waters surrounding Syka, she'd taken to exploring further and further north each day, though there wasn't much room left to explore now, if she wished to stay within a swimming sprint's distance of Syka itself.
She'd been so absorbed in observing the vast array of beautiful and preferably harmless sea life, in search of a fish that resembled the drawing her gran had left her with before she'd died. Unfortunately, so far she'd had no luck.
Glancing up, Kamilla felt her heart jump slightly in her chest, the bright blue of the sky beyond the ocean surface had already been replaced by a deep orange hue that indicated that night was not a long way off. Something the Konti was not willing to risk spending beneath the waves, and so she quickly made her way back towards the beach, surfacing with a breath of relief.
As she made her way onto the very thin line of dry beach sand, Kamilla realised that she had traveled a lot further north than she'd thought. It was surprising how different distance traveled felt on land in comparison to underwater. She could have sworn she'd only traveled a few strokes worth of distance, yet when she looked south along the beach, her bag was nowhere in sight.
With a slight sigh, Kamilla tuned and began making her way South along the narrow beach.
