Kamdyn is a little ninja. He wears a soft black suit. He is small and swift. He likes to play at the beach. King is his friend. King is a gentle kitten. King likes to chase sea birds. Kamdyn and King build sand castles. They use small shells and sticks. They laugh under the warm sun. Then Kamdyn finds a shiny seashell. It is white and smooth. He holds it with joy. King purrs. Kamdyn whispers, "It is special." They decide to keep it safe.
They walk near the water. The waves are small and soft. Kamdyn and King follow footprints in the sand. They see a big rock. On the rock sits a red crab. The crab is big and old. It is the Ancient Guardian of shells. Kamdyn feels a little shy. King rubs his paw on Kamdyn’s leg. Kamdyn feels brave again.
Kamdyn says, "Hello, Ancient Guardian. I lost my special shell. Can you help me find it?" The crab clicks its claws. It looks at Kamdyn with bright eyes. Kamdyn smiles. King meows softly. The crab moves. It makes a small cave by the rock. There are many shells in the cave. Each shell has a bright glow. Kamdyn sees his shell. It is the shiny white one. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Ancient Guardian." The crab nods and steps aside. Kamdyn picks his shell with care.
But there is more. The crab gives him a gift. It holds a small gold shell in one claw. It offers it to Kamdyn. Kamdyn blinks with surprise. He takes the gold shell. It sparkles in the sun. King jumps with joy. Kamdyn thanks the crab. The Ancient Guardian smiles with its crab smile. It waves its claw. Then it disappears behind the rock.
Kamdyn and King run on the sand again the next day. They explore a new part of the beach. They see a blue starfish on a rock. The starfish waves one arm. Kamdyn says, "Hello, starfish." The starfish smiles. It points with its arm. Kamdyn walks that way. King follows. They find a small bottle in the sand. Inside is a tiny paper. The paper has a simple map. The map shows a large coconut tree. It draws a heart. Kamdyn is curious. King looks at the map with big eyes. Kamdyn says, "Let us go!"
They follow the map. They walk past a pile of driftwood. They hop over a small tide pool. They see a yellow crab. The crab is shy. It hides under a leaf. Kamdyn waves. The crab peeks out. King meows softly. The crab crawls away. They follow the map to a tall coconut tree. Under the tree is a small wooden box. Kamdyn opens the box. Inside are many shiny bits. Tiny sea glass pieces in green, blue, red. They glimmer in the sun. Kamdyn and King clap. Kamdyn picks a blue piece. King nuzzles it. Kamdyn says, "This is a treasure!"
They dance around the tree. They laugh and shout. The wind is soft. The sky is clear and blue. Kamdyn holds his two shells and the sea glass. He feels brave and smart. King gives a happy purr. Kamdyn says, "We did it, King!" King meows. They walk home. The beach is calm. The sea sings a soft song. Kamdyn steps on the warm sand. He looks at the shells and glass. He knows it was a good adventure. He will keep them safe.
They reach their home. It is a small hut by a palm tree. Kamdyn places the shells and glass on a shelf. King settles into a small basket. Kamdyn yawns. It is time to sleep. Kamdyn whispers, "Good night, beach. Good night, King." King purrs. Kamdyn closes his eyes. He dreams of new adventures. He dreams of shining seashells. The end.
