Mildred's Murmur-Alpha

Her larynx contracted sharply, her lungs hurt and felt better and she convulsed and expelled a small lungful of sparkling Aqua blue water. As she opened her eyes, she felt them sting with saltwater; scrambling up, she could feel the scratch of the sand on her face and the imaginary sand that still felt as though it was there was on her face. her abdominal muscle pulled her laboriously upwards towards the sky. As she propped herself up by placing her hands on the sand behind her back she let her head swing tiredly forward.
"The journey always takes so much out of me" She thought
A few minutes passed as she avoided opening her eyes simply to let give her time to enjoy the warm summer sun, allowing the blades of friendly light to pierce her delicate face.

She unlocked her eyelashes and billowed them rapidly as her eyes adjusted to the light, She peered up shielding her eyes with one hand from the spectacular purple sun. She looked up and down the beach, her green eyes following the shoreline to the horizon hoping for some familiar point to aid her in learning her location. To no avail she rose to her feet and clasped her hand to her neck to feel for the item. Her hands found what they were looking for and she pulled it out so it's image could meet her eyes. She looked down at the once dormant pendant in her trembling hands that had brought her back to her beloved land. Mildred lost in the beautiful amethyst-ish stone jumps as she hears an unmistakeable noise. Turning mildred's eyes widen as she realises what is glaring back at her...

Ole' Milly's Pendant.

Boringly yours,
James
