The beach was covered in crystalline white sands that were so bright that I suspected that they were producing their own light. As if every grain of sand was releasing bright white light, each as bright as a light bulb.
It was blinding yet strangely beautiful at the same time. Amanda stretched lazily before she hopped down from my back and collapsed onto the sand.
Tossing the unconscious siren onto the ground, I collapsed beside her. I then immediately turned the sand into magma and curled up inside it.
"Eh, what's with you and magma baths? It's kind of weird."
"Centipedes usually spend their time in damp areas to absorb moisture since their bodies can be easily dried out by heat. I think my body adapted differently to allow me to do this with magma."
This change was probably caused by my obsidian dragon bloodline. It's the only explanation I could come up with.
