Blackwater Islands after mood and weather, in the waves you will float

now, Galateia worked her muscles by digging; she sought to bring to the island herbs that were not already here. she had brought gifts from the monoliths to deposit into the earth to bring new herbal life to this place. but the digging was slow for her, painful. her breathing was labored, and the pale pearl knew that though the task would take any one else thirty minutes, she would likely finish by nightfall. twas noon, now. but she did not ask for aid, as this was another way for her to heal. she worked her muscles, slowly pulling at the pliant earth.
