Ankyra Sound down when you're in first

AW. first puppy excursion to the beach! no post order, free-for-all fun.  @Illidan @Ephraim @Raleska & tagging @Rhakios for visibility

it was instinct that bade the sharp-faced witch to gather her brood and shepherd them forward, one by one until their unruly minds registered she was commanding them to follow her. she swept on thin heels from the shaded ferns of the rendezvous, following the sandy reeds that marked one of many trails to the beach.

it would be their first interaction with the lapping shore, and caiaphas selected a time the tide was low and the flats visible. she slowed her pace as they neared the first glassy surface of seawater -- here, they were safe from any overcurrent, and the richly studded pools of water offered many exciting things to discover.
