Mentioning mother nature’s work Alph’s hair has gone from green tinged and turned a soft green translucent crystalline appearance and she loved it because she hoped it might become emerald her favorite crystal. Her body was more curves than angles and though it was unintentional her slow gliding method of walking attracting the interest to others when now added to the image. This holiday she’d made enough money to replace all her wardrobe and electronics the former needed because the laws of nature had altered her feminine dimensions and the latter was subjective. She’d gotten some beautiful lights that had solar rechargeable batteries and with two extra sets she could always be sure of lighting for her grotto gallery which held over two hundred statues which were as small as four inches to one of a nude Edge trying to catch an escaping Auriel that stood over twenty feet from floor to highest point but it was also forty three feet broad and thirty six feet deep. The piece stood in the center of Alph’s bath which took advantage of a nearby source of heat in the form of geothermal energy; it took her three weeks to balance the water just right so that she didn’t boil herself. [color=lightseagreen]”Oh Bugger” and I wanted just a few more days[/color] said a nude Alph lounging on a beautifully polished malachite couch that resembled a clam shell filled with soft rabbit furs. Then as she rolled lazily off the wonderfully perfect nest a nearby black obsidian sea chest opened a lid that only appeared because its mistress had asked it to open; if she’d had guests she would have said “Open Sesame Street” but without an audience why bother? Stone hands on the ends of tentacle arms came out of the chest presenting each piece of required clothing till soon Alph had on her school uniform which one of her clients a clothing designer had fitted to her. Finished she transformed the chest lid into a flat surface that was covered by a thin sheet of mercury forming a nice full length mirror to admire herself in. She turned inspecting herself because it was after all first day and a time when the instructors were quicker to hassle you for violations; “Mustn't set a bad example for the first years” [color=lightseagreen]Gaia watchover[/color] she says to her image blowing it a kiss before heading toward the school. Six hundred yards from her grotto the permanent tunnels ended and she swam through the earth but not as people would picture it. Unlike water swimming in Alph’s form was a steady walk as the earth before her opened and then closed behind her keeping her in a oval that had only enough oxygen for a half hour’s travel before she’d be forced to surface or find some subterranean source of fresh air. Lucky for her that it took only fifteen minutes to get to the Academy grounds where she opened the rock outcropping by a set of steps that assessed some machinery section in the basement at the back of the school. Because the stairs were cut from the local volcanic stone Alph had a bit of fun making them act like an escalator which she rode to the top where she stopped and turned blowing them a kiss and thanking them for their help and skipping off toward the front of the school while unwrapping a jumbo Kit Kat and snapping off a stick and munching on it.
