Sequoia Coast stranger than earth

@Leucothoë

Clouds scuttled overhead, gulls wheeled on the wind and cried out, the sound carrying above the waves that crashed below. The sand and beach that stretched along this area of the world was free territory, and the half-grown child that stalked along its edges blended into the grey day. His eyes, bright turquoise at turns, flashed as he surveyed the land, looking for shells and sand creatures and crabs to add to his naturalist collection.

Levi paused by a pile of seaweed washed ashore by the high tide and began digging into the green mass, searching. Would he find anything worthy today? As he dug, the waves crashed along the shore to his left, though he paid them no mind. It was the sound of his life, his childhood, and he felt comforted by it. Small creatures were moving in the seaweed as he moved it, and one jumped on him, biting down. Levi yelped and shuffled back, shaking his head to rid himself of the creature on his nape. What was that?!
