Under the Sea

Aurelia The golden mare wasn't sure where she was, but she liked it. The whole set up was... brilliant. She'd walked into the crystal cave not expecting to much- afterall, she had been in a few caves in her lifetime- but was pleasantly surprised when her she was suddenly under water, but not wet. The cave had dipped underwater, but the crystal walls kept the water out while also letting her gaze into the depths of the ocean from the viewpoint of a fish. The light from the soon-setting sun was beautiful as it played with the surface of the water, it's rays glittering down to the crystal walls of the cave ad to Aurelia, allowing her own coat to sparkle brilliantly (thanks to her enchanted locket). She could see an abundance of fish and other sea life playing just on the other side of the crystal. She was thoroughly entranced, but only stopped for a moment before her slow saunter through the crystal path continued, her eyes watching the ocean, spotting new breeds of fish and foreign sea animals. Aurelia had never actually seen the underneath of the ocean's surface. She'd been afraid of water for much of her life and when she eventually got over that fear, she never got in the habit of plunging her head underwater completely to look around for fish. The pegasus could easily tell you about the wide and inexhaustible variety of birds and other flying creatures, but fish wasn't really in her realm. Eventually, the clacking of her hooves on the crystal ceased. She'd reached the exit of the tunnel. She peered down at the ground, horrified to see it was covered in rocks. Well.. whatever that is. The whole shore was littered with smooth, round pebble-like rocks. They were all different colors and different opacities but mostly maintained the same frosty look and shape. Aurelia was tragically unaware of what exactly sea glass is, afraid that if she stepped onto the marble resembling rocks that they will shatter under her weight and cut up her frog and possibly even her lower legs. Instead of testing it out, she simply just stood at the entrance of the crystal cave, her gaze never leaving the abundance of sea glass before her. After a few minutes of just awkwardly watching the sea glass, her hooves start moving again, carrying her back into the tunnel. The exit that leads to the sea-glass beach stood nearby, but the pegasus was much more content to watch the sea life than stare at some glass. A subtle hum left her lips as she watched the ocean, her mind still focused on the glass. It could easily be said that Aurelia wasn't well versed in many of the world's beauties (sea life and glass just being two examples). Open to all! just aurelia doing some derpy exploring :p oh, tell me, what's the matter?
