You hear the sound of the waves again as the trail turns towards the sea. The path must run closely parallel to the ocean, and occasionally weaves onto the sand. Walking towards the ocean, you see it is more of a bay-like area. You can hear the gulls cry out and the waves lap at the shore, the sun sparkles on the water making a reflection. Dolphins jump out in the distance and their splashes are like crystals hovering in midair before disentigrating. The sand is warm, not to hot, but just right for sun tanning or playing on the beach. Looking around you also notice a large river flowing into the bay, making it a mix of fresh and salt water. Staring into the clar liquid you notice small and colorful fish darting about among weeds and sandy strips of floor. One jumps out adn splashes you with water waving it's fin before splashing back in. Suddenly all the fish are gone, the gulls are silent, not even the breeze blows. You wonder what happened, then suddenly a head pops up right in front of you!  The creature laughs and dives down again, only to splash back up onto shore. Her back flippers are like a seals, but her front feet are paws. She has colorful, sparkling stripes on her back and finned ears; and her eyes glow pink even in the bright daylight. The creature laughs in a voice like the mix of the rumbling tide, high shreiking gulls, and the roll of calm waves in the sun. She speaks Hello traveler, I imagine you weren't expecting to see me!. You nod, still a bit startled. Well, I am a Okea'Tygre, a form of seacat related to tigers. she flips a hind fin to make her point. My name is White Breaker She looks out into the ocea suddenly, her ears perked. With a quick wave of a fin she swims off. Another seagull flies over your head, and you notice that the waves have always been rolling in. Time didn't stop, and you aren't dreaming, but White Breaker was certainly interesting. You hope maybe you'll see her again someday, and you walk on.
