Content Notes: Drawn directly with a nib pen, no pencil. This is Masquerade shimmer ink from Diamine. The pen is one ofrdm 's prototypes from the 3dprinter, fitted with a Schmidt 241 Broad nib. I put my back into this one, it took me most of the day. And you even get a microfic to go with it.
I'd only ever seen one of the creatures at the quiet pond. I'd no idea what it was, just saw it the once, and I don't think it saw me. It was just sliding into the water, a Splendid Wren chittering at it as it submerged, and was lost amongst the lilies.
I didn't tell anyone about it, and I had already put my voice amongst those who wanted to preserve the place as a sanctuary. With Alcoa getting out of the place, we had a good chance while things were in flux, and really, lovely pool, ferns around and the birdlife was great.
Glad I did, because when the aliens came looking for their lost child, and when the authorities started asking around, I had a quiet word. I even got to talk with the kid after. Quite the experience.
And suddenly Earth is talking with the big guns of the Galaxy, and seems like they owe us a favour. When they heard I was pushing for the sanctuary before I'd even spotted Junior whether it was a cryptozoological treasure or not, that impressed them because they're conservationists too. Turns out they want to offer me a job helping them talk to people who'd like their help getting rid of all these nasty forever chemicals in their environments.
Okay, then.
