Dragoncrest Cliffs I'm small but an explorer!

Ever the bold one, Astera ran for the sand, where it was damp, but safe. Suzu knew there was a fine line between where the waves came in like a soft blanket and where they crashed against the ground, and pulled the grains of sand, rocks, and everything unrooted back out into the water. She recognized it the instant that Astera moved to chase the wave, that the next one would overcome her. She shouted, but it was too late- and the pup disappeared for a moment amid the rush of seafoam and dark waters. 

Fortunately, she'd already checked for riptides, and when the wave pushed back to land, it left the pup gasping on the sand. She approached, and sighed. "Awww, Astera," She said, moving into the ankle-deep waters. "You be very brave, but de waves are strong; strong enough sometimes to pull even someone like me out into de depths," She said. "Shake out your coat- you will warm up widdout all dat water on you," She instructed. Like all wolves of Sapphique, Astera would need to learn how to tolerate the cold waters, and swim in them- 

but all in good time, and with proper supervision.
