Sephora Querida picked her way deliberately down the beach, a little ways away from where her mother was happily sunning herself in the crisp spring breeze. Rather than make her way down to where the waves played, however, the filly was walking parallel to them, for she knew her mother feared the water and didn't want her playing in it. Whatever reason this was was unknown to her, but it didn't really matter - Sephora knew that she could have plenty of fun just playing in the sand. It was fun to roll in.

Finally stopping just within ear-shot and seeing distance of her mother, Sephora studied the ground before her. It was covered with hundreds of rounded little pebbles, spit out by the sea when she rolled in at high tide and left stranded. Each was a slightly different color. Some were a rusty red, some were green, and some were the creamy color of her own coat. Nudging one gently with her foot, Sephora inadvertently drew a few dark lines in the sand. Noticing this, she fluttered her wings in curiosity. She took a look back the way she'd come and noticed little dimples in the sand where she'd stepped, each a little darker than the sand around it...

Pawing carefully at the ground, Sephora began to dig, wondering where the darker sand came from. Soon enough, she reached it - it was only a few inches down. She put her nose gently against it, careful not to inhale. It was cool! How weird, she thought, snorting and coming out of her hole. The sand on top was warm. Placing her hoof back in the hole, she dug more - and the sand began to get damper. She soon had a little puddle at her sand-covered feet. Staring into it, Sephora couldn't help a giggle - so that was what she looked like. At least Mommy couldn't yell at her for getting close to the surf: Sephora had managed to summon the water to herself.

Remiel broke through the brush at the edge of the beach. His wings flitted, trying to catch his balance. The movement only made him lose it sooner and sent him tumbling down the sand doon. Sand flew up around him as odd parts of his body pulled it up from where his body touched it. Sending it falling down as quickly as he was.

Finally, he came to the bottom and was able to stop. His crossed eyes showing how dizzy the fall had made him. He had to shake his head to clear it. Only to send a new shower of sand falling from what had clung to him. ".....I'll be sneezing snad for a week...." He mumbled to himself. He looked at his wings, making sure they were all right. His mother would kill him if she learned he had broken something while he snuck away with his brother.

Who apparently had gone missing. Or was he the one missing. He couldn't tell. He looked around now. But itt did seem he had found something of interest. Some type of dry large tan sand and the largest amout of water he had ever seen.

He kept scanning the scene. And spotted a little filly. Remy's wings flitted with a jump of excitement. Someone else to play with was always nice. And she wasn't too far away either. She seemed as if she was engrossed with something in a hole she was digging. Remy jumped to his hooves, moving towards her as silently as he could, wondering how close he could get to the little filly.

Splashing a hoof lightly in the water and grinning with glee at the sound it made, Sephora looked back toward the ocean. It stretched all the way to the horizon, wavy all the way. She could even see the weird curve - hadn't Mommy said that that was the edge of the world, and should one get that far, they'd simply fall off?

Pondering this, Sephora stepped out of her hole, nudging some nearby clamshells around the edge of it and creating a border. The birds probably got to them, she thought, remembering the gulls that she'd seen on certain parts of the beach. They'd always seemed ravenous, as though they couldn't get enough even when they ate all day. Noticing a pink hue on the inside of one of the shells she gathered, Sephora Querida turned around toward the bushes to look for more and squeaked in surprise - there was a foal standing there!

Eyeing his blue and pink pelt, Sephora realized that she didn't know him. Not that she knew anyone aside from her mother... But still, she didn't know him. Her gaze turned immediately curious when her eyes lit upon his wings, something that they shared in common. And didn't they look to be about the same age? Having just seen her own reflection, Sephora thought so. After a moment, however, the filly realized that she was staring and bashfully turned her gaze slightly away from him. "Hello," she said, wondering what he was doing on this normally deserted stretch of the beach. And, now that she was looking at his legs, Sephora realized that he must have rolled in the sand, for he looked to be covered with a layer of it.

Remiel stood still, watching the little filly when he got a couple arm lengths from her. He froze even more when she lifted her head to stare at the ocean. She seemed as engrossed in it as he had first been at seeing it. Though the little filly had distracted him from staring at it longer. The sound of the waves breaking on the beach sounded in his ears. Twitching as new sounds entered one after another.

He saw the little filly turn, and finally realize he was there. His eyes wide with thought. Wondering what she would do. Breath snorted out of his nose as he had been caught sneaking up on her. Almost pretending like he hadent. As if had just been walking along the beach and magically got this close to her.

At the sound of her greeting, his mouth smiled wide and his shoulders slumped a little with relaxation. "Hello!" He said enthusiastically. His grin remained wide as he stared at her with anticipation, wondering what she would do next. What she might say next.

As Sephora watched the colt's reaction to her, she wondered how he could be so open with a stranger. Her mother had taught her to be wary of them, foal or not - there were scary creatures out there that could look just like themselves but be far worse on the inside. Or at least, that was how Sephora had understood it. One was better off staying away from strangers just in case one came across a bad egg. "Hi," she replied in a monotone sort of way. Looking him up and down again and temporarily forgetting her bashfulness about staring, Sephora said, "What do you want?" She didn't say it in a mean way - she was simply curious. After all, where was his mother? Shouldn't she be around somewhere, watching him like a hawk? It was all very strange; Sephora knew that her mother would never let her out of sight, and yet, here was a foal all by himself on an isolated stretch of beach.

"Where's your mama?" Sephora asked, deciding that she should probably get the answer to the question herself. It dawned on her that he might not have one - if so, that was really sad. Preparing herself to say something sensitive, Sephora looked at him again. He had a weird, pink, scaly-looking pattern on his shoulders and rump, like some of the fish she'd seen swimming around under the water. But he had wings, too! Is he some kind of flying-land-fish-soquili? she wondered to herself. It was possible, she supposed. Her mother had told her that she'd seen some strange things in her time.
