Wheeling Gull Isle Breath of the sea

For @Minori. Set at the Tide Pools.

Tzila was ravenous. The pangs of hunger had hit her suddenly. She had woken up like this, her belly rumbling. She spent the majority of the day scouring the island, searching for anything she could get her teeth around. Most of her catches were small, limited to the crabs which had emerged from hiding beneath the sand. She had tried her luck in the shallows with a small school of fish, but came up empty. Tzila may have grown up along a coastline, but her fishing skills were sorely lacking.

Still craving nutrients, both for herself and the slowly growing life inside her, she turned to the tide pools. She waited impatiently for low tide and navigated the rocky little pools carefully when they were exposed. Peering into each one hopefully, pawing at the bottom to try and reveal any hidden, edible treasures.
