she walked along the shore, she heard the waves calling out to her from the distance, yelling, cr
ashing, crying out for things that weren't theirs. but their pleas will never reach the shore, only s
he could hear them. it filled her heart with sadness and longing for the sea as it's voice would ne
ver be heard. or so she thought. she walked along, feeling the sand underneath her paws, the so
ft breeze combing through her hair like a mother's gentle hands caressing her own child. alima le
aned into the touch of the breeze and smiled, closing her eyes and enjoying it. wondering if this
was what a mother's touch felt like. as she walked on with her eyes closed and her mind blank, o
ther then the voices of the sea ringing in her ears. her paws felt the cold water wash over them
suddenly, though she did not open her eyes, instead feeling the pull of the water as it withdrew i
tself once more. though alima felt herself stumble for a moment, as though her paws just stoppe
d following her brains instructions to step forward. she opened her eyes suddenly and saw a simp
le shell, a conch to be precise, laying on it side. a small white pebble looking object caught her
eyes, it seemed to have rolled out of the peach colored conch. she bent down and picked it up in
her paw and as she was bending down she heard a soft cry from somewhere. she looked about co
nfused and slightly startled as it had said, "listen to me!" she looked out towards the sea but it ha
d gone quiet, she looked at the conch and lowered her ear to it. "listen child, listen! as i am the
voice of the sea!" alima gasped but picked up the conch with her other paw and held it to her ear
eager to hear more from the voice. it was calm but urgent, she felt a pull inside of her to listen t
o it. as she listened and stared at the pearl in her other paw, it rolled around and twinkled as the
voice spoke to her soul. "child i thought my voice would never reach the shore, you are up in the
clouds but i need you to dive deep, deep into my core, the black sea child. the black sea is where
my secrets are held. open the blackest shell and pull out my tongue, make me speak. spill my se
crets onto the earth, find my pearl and break it open, let my voice reach their ears! find the blac
k pearl!"
