Gilded Bay Parental guidance

The children each had their own opinion about their vast home, she could see this. Ponderosa and Pine played at the edge of a tide pool together, Silvertip was invested in the world around her, and had found herself mesmerized with a shell. And Angel Oak? She wished to know what was out there, out in the great beyond. “That is the ocean, big water. It is strong, but gentle too. It goes on for miles and miles. One day, we will take you closer, but not until you have grown more. The Big Water is dangerous.”

She stood up then, and motioned for Angel Oak to follow alongside her. She approached Silvertip, giving her a nudge with her snout, “Bring your shell. You can keep it.”

She came up to Pine and Ponderosa, and began to teach them about the land. “This is water. It is wet, it can be cold or warm. Creatures live in it, they can breath under the water, like we breath air.” She then looked to the sand, let it run off her paw. “This is sand. It is easy to dig, but can be itchy.” She warned, a playful tone to her voice.
