Standing up the girl took a small moment to ready herself before diving back into the warm water. Although her vision underwater was not one hundred percent Melody knew it was a lot better than the average human, as was her breath hold. Probably a benefit of growing up next to the ocean and spending most of her time there. Flittering glimpse of silver skimmed past her vision, small fish and larger shadows lurked further beyond. Though it was too shallow here for the bigger predators, smaller ones that packed quite a bite reminded her to keep a respectful distance.
Reaching the submerged wreck, ruminants of an unlucky sea vessel, Melody made her way inside. She was able to quickly skim through another room of the wreck, more feeling than looking as she opened anything that would budge and an her hands through it, feeling for anything and hoping it didn’t bite her fingers off. Her hand eventually closed around something smooth, cold and metallic feeling and she thrust it into her bag, giving another quick run through the draw, feeling something else than had a coarser feeling to it. It could simply be a rock or shell, but things tended to grow on anything down here. After clearing the draw she decided to return to the surface.
The surface water broke and Melody took in a small gasp of air before she slowly swam over to a nearby rock. The ocean was calm today, and the recent weather made the water crystal clear. Pulling herself up onto the rock the girl pushed some of her raven black hair out of her face before placing the small, glittering item in her hand into the small net bag hanging off her shoulder. Free diving for treasure in the nearby ship wrecks may not be the most glamorous way of surviving but it was certainly better than some of the other options.
A familiar sound caused her eyes to turn skywards as a spaceship descended, eventually pulling into the port that had been built some years ago. People seemed excited, or at least intrigued about the approaching vessel. It flew no colours, so it wasn’t a ship of any governed body, so it meant potential trade and revenue possibilities for the local inhabitants. Seeing as how this didn’t affect her Melody couldn’t find herself getting very interested about it. Whoever they were they probably didn’t realise how small and insignificant a port they had just landed on was. Nothing exciting ever happened here.
