Static Shores - Short Story Part 6
A towering piton rose from the sea, stretching high into the sky before vanishing into a mass of storm clouds, lightning crackling violently through them. Avisa slowed her approach, allowing me to take in what loomed before us. Green and red Decadyls crawled across the smaller boulders lining the piton’s base.
