I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

Beric had been learning the layout of the island. He was currently enjoying the abundance of crabs on the shoreline. They weren't all that easy to catch, but they were worth the extra effort. He finished his second crab, and lifted his head to look around, licking his maw. It was a warmer day, but the clouds provided some relief from the sun today.

He stretched out on his belly, his mouth opening into a huge yawn. Standing, he shook the sand from his fur, and began to walk along the edge of the shore. Looking out towards the ocean, he saw nothing but water. He wondered how long it went before there was more land. Could he swim to it? Hmm... It would be a risk, seeing as how he couldn't even see his destination.
