You turn inland beyond the black mountain, towards the grass lands and begin the somewhat steep hike up the samphire thick grass clad dunes.
As you crest the first dune you find you are no longer alone.A blue pinto unicorn like creature lies on the leading edge of the dune, it's nose turned into the wind and it's icy mane lifted slightly in the sea breeze. It blinks politely at you but makes no attempt to speak. You stand by it for a while, watching the waves curl and crash on the beach while you regain your breath. A glister catches your eye and you notice a glassy droplet on a blue leather thong around the creatures neck, the size of a pomegranite the ornament shines wetly, like a drop of water perpetually caught as it falls. The creature glances at you once, it's gaze holding a tinge of reproach for your interuption of it's contemplation of the ocean with your unrequested inspection. Sheepishly you look away again, this time at the grass flat lands behind you that the pinto creature is stoutly ignoring. There are a few more samphire grassed dunes between you and the flats but once you've struggled over them it should be easier going or else you can take the easy way and head back downhill onto the beach again. |
