MY JOLLY SAILOR BOLD // Return

"Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land" ♆ tags ── Dreary skies would meet the bleak ocean at the horizon, the waves choppy and mildly uncooperative. The waters were chill, the air cool. Winds pulled the trees around gently; the aftershocks of the storm. Debris lay littered around the sands, once strong huts now lay in ruins. And among the ruins was a blue shape, a wolf-ish shape.

It stirred, breathed in before it's gills fluttered with the outflow of air. The sea-toned creature breathed in again, tentacle tail slowly flexing. It breathed out from it's gills again, then moved a foreleg. It explored the area before it with it's paw, then opened it's pearly eyes. The familiar beach, though thoroughly wrecked to hell by the storm, was a welcoming sight. It exhaled through it's nose, content to simply stay down and rest a little more. It was home. It was finally home.

"Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land" ♆ tags ── The noise of debris moving didn't stir Scyllios, but the familiar scent and the gentle touch of a tentacle did. Slowly their pearly eyes opened and ve met Octavio's stare. Emotions flooded the maned wolf until they discerned the Relief and Happiness that was there. With a gentle breath ve smiled and leaned into the touch. He was safe, that's all that had mattered in the moment. "You... you are okay.." Ve whispered, tears threatening to spill.
