BWP: Your character discovers fairy circles in an unlikely place
Ankyra Sound was still widely regarded as hallowed ground to the wolves of Sapphique; and so, it was routinely visited almost as if it was an extension of border patrols, while Chacal knew better than to leave any scent markings to claim the otherwise neutral territory. Here were echoes of a past that was only remembered in glimpses and untold stories. Some heaviness that existed in the air, full of the ghosts of those who had weathered and conquered the thrashing of the waves in stormy seasons.
But it was after a rainfall that Chacal meandered along the shore, and for the first time she noticed something very startling and new in the sand. Fine and beige, the sand that rose into dunes where the surf couldn't reach was soft yet heavy, and often allowed little other than the sparse, coarse sea grass to grow. Even then, the waves kept all the sea grass at bay below the tideline. But for some reason, provoked by some inexplicable natural cause, she found little sprigs of very new sea grass sprouting up from the still-wet sand as the tide pulled further and further out to sea.
Even more unusual yet was the fact that the grass blade grew in wide circles, here and there, below the tideline where a variety of shells and kept had been left on the shore. She meandered from one to the next, noting how unusual it was for the grass to grow this far down the beach. Come sunset, she knew the tide would rise up again and drown the grasses- but for now, it would rise in the warm sunlight, and Chacal carefully side-stepped as she investigated, making sure not to step within the fairy circles and disturb whatever playful spirit had chosen to set them there.
It can be assumed that if Chacal is speaking, she will be singing. Her speaking patterns will always have a melodic quality to them.
