The sea was stormy all night. However, the time after such a phenomenon is ideal for searching for amazing underwater treasures. A variety of patterned shells, shiny pebbles, algae, and a lot of coral fragments – all this can be found on the shore after the raging tide at night.
Colt wakes up with the first rays of the sun and the joyful cries of birds. He gets up from his bed and walks over to the big window. Curiosities glittered in the sun, and birds were jumping somewhere in search of shellfish. Terralien went down to the ground floor of his shack, grabbed a small bucket and a mesh bag. He had to spend several hours wandering along the shore in search of really good materials for his products, so Colt put on a cute straw hat and ran outside.
Sometimes the waves washed over the shore, throwing new curiosities right at Colt's feet. Exploring the coastal area, materials for figurines were added to the bucket and bag. It was getting close to noon and it was time to return home to prepare for the evening talent fair: set up a tent, arrange coral and stone figurines and maybe do something new.
Upon arriving home, terralien left the materials for the figures on one of the tables. Returning to the street, Colt took the previously prepared boards and cloth. Choosing a good place, he began to build a tent. A couple of times the structure almost collapsed like a house of cards, but terralien managed to give it stability. After that, Colt began to put figurines on the counter - real works of art created with love and talent. Other Terralien began to gather on the coast, also setting up tents and their creations.
Having looked home for the last time and picked up tools and previously left materials, Colt sat down on a makeshift bench. The first hours pass slowly, and it seems that no one will pay attention to his unique products. In order to distract himself somehow, he does not lose hope for a new job. Terralien chooses the most beautiful pale pink coral and begins to create a new figurine. The image for her was a girl who had already passed by Colt's tent several times. His hands deftly chiseled the main outlines out of coral, and then, giving them more elegant shapes, worked out the small details characteristic of a marine stranger. And so, when the figure is almost ready, Sengo appears at the tent, the same sea terra. Apparently she noticed that she had been watched for a while. In the hands of the Colt, the girl sees a figurine that accurately conveyed her image. She was delighted with it. The boy excitedly began gesticulating with his free pair of hands, jumped up from the bench, pointing to other products that Sengo might like. He also asked her to wait a bit.
While the girl was looking closely, Colt added the last details: shell headphones and connected the product with a wooden stand, which was dotted with pebbles, sand and smaller corals. The guy handed his creation to the stranger, and she happily wagged her tail and gently took it and twisted it, examining it from different sides. Nodding approvingly, Sengo pointed to another figurine that she would like to buy. After paying and saying goodbye, she disappeared somewhere in the crowd.
Colt was overjoyed that someone had finally noticed his work. However, that was not all: as soon as terralien sat down on a bench, Sengo came up to the tent again, but not alone! She brought more customers. Someone took figurines from the assortment, and someone asked for an individual order. Having dealt with everything and sold all the products, Colt breathed a sigh of relief.
The day was coming to an end, the sun had almost set below the horizon, finally enveloping everything around with a soft light. Colt collects his things, feeling pleasantly tired, filled with joy that his works have found a buyer and is very grateful to Sengo for this. At sunset, he leaves, knowing that tomorrow new creative discoveries and meetings await him.
