[Nema Dakkar]

The water washed up and around her booted feet for the first or the trillianth time as she strode along the sands.  These were black sands from a basaltic rock formed from volcano lava pulverized by wind and rain of storms.  Or is was just black sand.  Dakkar smiled sadly as she looked to the tiny fire gold fish brightly shining in the water and placed her human appearing hand into the cool confines allowing the nearby fish to scatter then gather around her nipping gently in curiosity at the new thing plunged into their world.

~She was truly no different in the Nexus.  The same thng happened there.  The fish of that place were as the Avatars but they all came to nip to see to learn what the new one was so plunged into their world.  It happened with each newcomer and when thy thought they knew what they wanted to know they retreated back to their pattern of life.  Back to their safe haven of behaviors.  Some built others destroyed,  some fought and other gave in, some controled and others lead.  All of them as simple and complex as the fish in the pooled sea water before her. ~

She watched unbreathing as the fish returned to their business in the shallows and one became brave enough or aware enough to slip over the lip of the rock with a waves retreat.  She watched that one adjust to the deeper water but still swim on the top.  ~That was the plunge into the travel she had in effect stumbled into when she found herself as another being those times and places.  The journey's that were educational as well as entertaining to the Avatars.  She wondered idily if the others so ensconced in Nexus realized the lives they changed each and every tme they rode in possession of the persons who's lives they played with...she knew that she did.~

Dakkar watched the fish in the deeper water for a time and looked further out to sea.  ~Those that have lived here for ages and days have not explored you oh seas of Nexus.  Perhaps it is simply not the correct Avatar that has come until now.~

She placed her human appearing hand into the gentle waters feeling its cool flow across her skin and closed her eyes to feel the deeper ebb and flow well beyond the simple touch from the surface.  The hand form seemed to shift altering to a scaled set of fingers with webbing between as she relaxed her minds concentration.  It picked up the sunlight and sparkled in the colors of the seas blue and green for a moment.  Dakkar opened her eyes and looked again at the waters as she shook the droplets from her again human fingers.

A slow smile spread across her features as she stood and looked over the land and the water.  ~Yes here things could be as they once were if one were to will it to be so.  Appearances of Avatars were as they chose and so in the choosing made the reality of the form..~

She removed the second white glove with the still damp hand and slid off her jacket with a simple elegant shoulder shrug.  As easily removed were her the boots, pants and shirt from the body now standing on the edge of the sea.  She pulled her sea bag from the deep pocket of the coat and bundled the clothing with fair quickness as she stepped foot into the water.

The cool lapping over the human foot turned the appearance to the scaled and webbed foot of her true form. As she secured the bundle and made it air and water tight through its seal.  She looked down at the scaled ankle that supported her still human looking form and found with a rush of the tides waters more of her appeared to turn to the pearlescent scales.  She smiled again as she crouched into the next wave casting the foam over her and patching her in water and thus in scales.

Her hair turned sparse and green and her eyes danced with joy, the sun casting her in blues greens and gold such as many had noted around her eyes.  She slipped into the water over the edge joining the little fish that had so nibbled in curiosity at her fingers moments before.

A flash of a scaled back a flick of a fin and into the depths she moved, a grace of form within the water that would never be duplicated in the gangly walk that was forced from her upon the land.

Hours later there is a flicker of color in the waves.  The surface is broken by the long form of Dakkar in the water.  She sheds the water and the appearance of the scaled creature as she steps back to the land.  She in nearly instantly dry as she removes the familiar uniform from the bag and slides on her clothing.

It would seem the swim had done her some good.  She seemed to be more rested if not more calm.  She looked out over the quiet sea in a last few moments of contemplation before turning away for the inland areas.
