The great expanse of water overtook her vision. She knew she was on the right path, she could see the mountains in the distance, but another something stood in her way. She knew this was something else she should conquer. Something, maybe even easier and better than the heights. Swimming.
Echo hadn't been allowed near water, too dangerous her parent's had always told her. She could surely take a drink, maybe a wade in here or there, but a swim was completely out of the question. By now her instincts might not even take over.
She knew the basics, kick. That's it, right? She leisurely placed one paw into the water. It was cool, it felt nice against the heat of the day. It encouraged her to add another paw, and soon she was up to her shoulders lapping up the water.
You aren't here for a drink you know. "Yeah yeah yeah, that doesn't mean I just gotta duck my whole face under either." The female darted her head around quickly hoping she hadn't just been seen talking to herself.
