Dragoncrest Cliffs twilight stone

Prompt: Your character discovers a hidden gem.

As the sun set, the tide receded. Astera wandered the bay, alone. The last rays of the setting sun illuminated the gentle waves that lapped at the shore. Her paws felt the soft, wet sand, and the water felt soothing between her pale fur. Almost four moon cycles old, Astera was no strong swimmer, so she kept to where the water reached her shoulders. As the sun faded, the sky turned to a deep indigo. Astera waded out of the sea, shaking herself dry. There, on the sand, was a crystal, reflecting the last flecks of light in the sky. Its color reflected the ocean itself along with the twilight sky. As Astera gazed at the precious stone, she felt a sort of calm wash over her. The gemstone had come out of the ocean for her, and her alone. Not much larger than her own paw, she lay down next to it, reflecting upon the ocean, the evening sky, and the crystal all the same.
