The beach was Elleko's personal heaven. With the warm spring sun beating down, the ocean crashing against the sand, the smell of salt in the air, she had only to close her eyes and she was home. Her tail flicked back and forth gently as she stood barefoot on the shore, relaxed so that her tailfin brushed against the sand. Though she longed to go swim in the ocean she hesitated; she hadn't been in anything but a pool in months, and a part of her was afraid.
With a soft sigh she dropped to the ground, sitting so that the water just washed up over her feet. With a single finger she drew in the wet sand, a simple childlike drawing of what could have been fish and seaweed. Finally she studied the ocean ahead of her for a moment, stood, and walked directly ahead until she was waist-deep in water, letting the tide lift her feet off the ground and set her back down. But should she go further?
