prompt:: [word count: 249]Lyric collects all kinds of rocks! Anything from crystals, to geodes to your ordinary pebble.
They have always been spellbound by them and how vast they are in appearances. Some are shiny but with sharp edges, some are smooth and you can't help but run your hands against its surface over and over again.
Their interest actually came to life when they where just a tiny kit, it didn't help that their father was a paleontologist. One time he decided to bring Lyric to one of their excavation sites where he gave her a rock. It looked plain, simple. Most would find it boring but Lyrics eyes SPARKLED with fascination. Their father explained the magic behind rocks as he carefully placed it on a flat surface. He then placed a flat chisel against it's surface and tapped it with a sledge hammer. The what we assumed was a stone cracked open to reveal a geode glittering in the sunlight. Lyric started flapping their arms and squealing in amazement as their father chuckled.
"ROCKS ARE AMAZIIING!" they purred happily.
"They sure are, sweetpea. They can hold all kinds of treasure - you just have to give them a chance." He replied.
Lyric nodded. "So... can we smash some more?" Their father burst out into laughter hearing his childs request,
"Of course we can, who knows... We might even find a fossil!" He continued, his eyes sparkling much like Lyrics did. And they spent the rest of the day doing just that.
