Gilded Bay Swirling Curiousity

The scent of salt water wafted to a wet, leathery nose.  Amber eyes gleaming in the morning sun as the mixed brown male ventured into the unknown lands. The scent of the ocean lingering in the cool breeze, filling his lungs as he stepped carefully across the soft, grainy ground. Eyes shimmering, watching as the small glistening streams of water snaked their way through the sands to only stop and end in one of the many pools. The brute's wandering gaze trailed from the many scattered pools around the terrain to the jagged formation of rocks and spires that dotted the area. It wasn't often that Strei found himself near the coastline. One being for the forests, more than anything. It was unusual for him, but pleasant.

Bushy tail swayed behind him as he strolled onward aimlessly, minute grains of sand flicking to the sides with each movement his tail made. A snort escaped him as he caught out of the corner of his eye, movement within one of the pools. A frown furrowed across his brow as he stopped momentarily, head lifting some as he attempted to peer into the swirling mass of water. Unable to see properly, the young male made a detour to this particular pool of water. Curiosity gradually gaining the better of him as his paws came to the small waters edge, head tilting to the side slowly as he watched the water swirl. What was that?

Undecided whether or not to lower his head to the pool, Strei paused for thought. Obviously it would be a foolish idea This he knew. The young male grumbled at himself for the moment. Amber eyes never leaving the pool as it swirled, eyes catching a glimpse of a slimey looking creature with more then four legs. A low growl rumbled within his throat as he decided to lower himself into a crouch, tail dancing behind him as he stared at the creature, completely intruiged.
