A letter from a stranger arrives at your doorstep- Naita, Congradulations on finding your Reliquiant. You have been given a most wonderful gift. As the new Guardian of the Paua Pearl, I leave you with some information that might aid you in the exploration of your new responsibility, I wish you all the luck and joy. ~ Owner of the Restful Relic InnMythology- Long ago, a sea creature named Paua had no shell. One day, Tangaroa, god of the sea, noticed the difficulties this created for Paua and decided to create a special covering for him. Tangaroa, god of the sea, said, "I will take from my domain the coolest blues of the ocean and ask of my brother Tane (god of the forest) his freshest greens. From the dawn you shall have a tinge of violet, from the sunset a blush of pink, and overall there will be a shimmer of mother of pearl." With this, Tangaroa fashioned for Paua a wonderful coat that sparkled and dazzled with its beauty. But, alas, it was fragile and was soon broken by sea creatures envious of Paua's new appearance. Seeing this, Tangaroa strengthened the shell with many more layers. Finally he added a camouflage coat to enable Paua to blend in with the drab grays and browns of the rocks. Then, Tangaroa charged Paua with the life-long task of adding layer upon delicate layer to his shell home, each a different hue and blend. So it was that Paua got his shell. To this day, he hugs the secret of his inner beauty to himself and only at the end of his life, when his empty shell washes ashore, is his artistry revealed.

Tasty?
Throwing on a very rare piece of clothing in her wardrobe- a pair of pants, Naita smirked. With Riife having tired Breena out with her walking lesson, she was quiet enough for her temporary guardian to slip out for a quick rummage about at the nearest store- she craved crisps and fruit.
It had not been her choice to wear trousers, but apparently with her belly swelling ever more each day, people liked it better when she was fully clothed. Absurd, she thought.
Still, slipping the lurid green fabric past her hips, Naita shrugged. Could be worse. Setting about the lacing of her boots took her some time, so she did not sneak out of the room for a minute or two more, taking time, of course, to check that the infant's eyes were tightly shut. This established, the woman happily slipped out the door, making a break for the exit, with a slight detour to get lost and wind up in a closet.
Once upon the street, the woman strode happily, a quick tune escaping her throat in the form of an insanely out of tune humming. Never the type to look down, she probably should have on this day, to note the piece of paper clinging haplessly to her boot's heel.
It was a speedy trip to the store, ending with two packets of pringles, a tin of pineapple, a bottle of something green, oozing, and half price, and the shop boy's phone number. Shop clerks, had to love 'em.
The trip home was somewhat uneventful, though after having a drunken teenager on the street giggle and point at her boots, Naita did, at last, remove the paper from her heel, shoving it into her pocket. She was somewhat of a packrat, could not stand to see anything wasted. Granted, she still had no idea where exactly the several stuffed squirrels in her room came from, but they were useful in some way, she was sure!
Arriving home, ascending the staircase, and finally locating her room, it was a waking, and alas, glaring Breena that met her, a small bauble in her chubby fist.
"Sorry Breenie, had to!" she explained to the babe, however silly she felt, guilty like a teen at having been caught by a bloody infant.
"Not." Such was the only response Naita was to receive, as she set her purchases on the nearest clear surface.
The stone in Breena's hand now caught the woman's attention, and stretching out her own, she tried to insinuate she wished the babe to hand it over.
The infant seemed to take offence to this, and the tiny girl stuffed it in her mouth.
"Mine," she garbled out, around the solid object.
Squawking, and rushing forward to dislodge the little jewel, Naita went through some effort, and some biting of her fingers, to get it back out.
"You could've choked yourself, girl."
Gripped within her own fist, the item turned out to be a pearl. Interesting.
Turning back to the infant, to scold her, and be scolded, in turn, Naita shoved the glistening green and purple pearl into her pocket, along with the letter announcing it.
