The Great Harvest Seabake Part II
Posted by Thomas the Water Whimble · Oct 02, 2012
Sebastian and I skimmed over the crystalline waters. We waved at friends on shore as we flew in and out of the glittering waves. It was a fine late fall afternoon for playing in The Pearl Sea.
Just as we drew up to our home on the coral landing, the weather turned. A strong gust of wind caught us. It carried us high above the sea.
"Hold on tight to my leads, Thomas!" cried Sebastian. I did as I was told, not wanting to fall down into the sea.
The sky darkened. The gusts of wind grew stronger. They carried us up, up, up. Soon we had reached the stars.
"Ouch! A close call!" I exclaimed. Light glinted off Sebastian's shell as he whizzed by the star.
The wind changed course. We spiraled downward. I lost the turtle's leads. Edging forward, I threw my arms around my Companion's neck.
"Hold on, Little T! Hold on!" Sebastian warned in a shaky voice. Again, I did as I was told.
We tumbled in and out of the stars, close to one, then another. The free leads, waving madly about, were suddenly caught in a star's rays. We found ourselves dangling, tangled perilously far above The Pearl Sea.
"What can we do now, Sebastian?" I questioned. "Who can help us so far up in the sky?" (to be continued high above The Pearl Sea - Caelumen)
