Chapter 886: Pearls
In his human form, Sage was sitting in front of a large sweeping table with an unusual shape. The top was flat yet it was not circular or rectangular in shape. It was instead a swirling oval shape and the underside was somewhat tear shaped, being wider on one side than the other. The surface showed off its true nature, giving off a pearlescent sheen, combining dark wavy lines and bright translucent shimmers.
Around the table were a quartet of matching chairs, each of them looked naturally formed out of a mollusks shell. The outside surfaces were rough and calcified while the insides were organically smooth and shimmery. There were no signs of toolwork or joinery on these shell chairs and instead looked grown into this strange shape. Someone had grown huge oysters into a specific shape and then split it apart creating beautiful chairs and tables out of one half of the shell.
To make things even more spectacular, the inner wall of this building had the same shimmery texture as the furniture did. A ragged opening was sliced into the wall, creating a large picture window style opening. The sill of the window was the same rough and calcified look as the back of the chairs. This fact combined with the view of the buildings across the street made it apparent that not only the furniture was composed of oyster shells, but the whole building was too.
Oyster Quay. Thats what they called this city, and it certainly lived up to its name. Millions of one hundred foot tall oysters were clumped tightly together to form a huge city. The majority of them were not hollowed out buildings but actually living oysters. Someone a long time ago had pioneered the art of shaping and controlling the growth of oysters. No one was sure whether the giant oysters of Oyster Quay existed before this art was created, or if these giant oysters were created by the special art, but either way the two were entwined from long before anyone could remember. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Well, that is unless I can get my hands on that oyster technique. That would certainly open up a lot of opportunities, even if I cant reproduce Oyster Quay.
The huge oysters were not the only unique part of Oyster Quay. These hundred foot tall oysters required a special environment to remain so strong and healthy. Upon first arriving in the city Sage had been amazed by the thousand foot tall sand dunes and the rocky canyon like city. The millions of giant oysters clumped together reminded him of both a modern metropolis of tall buildings and clusters of canyons and crevices because of the mineral appearance of the oyster shells. At that time the city seemed placed at the edge of the ocean, the final oasis before a vast desert. The ground shimmered with golden sand, sands which were burning hot in the desert but nice and cool because of the shade provided by the towering oysters.
It was only later that Sage realized how wrong he was. The thousand foot tall mountain of sand was not a dune. It was the shoreline. Hed arrived in Oyster Quay at low tide which left the city free of water. Later in the day, high tide had arrived and the water level rose many hundreds of feet, submerging the city and most of the sandy beach in the distance. During the high tide the city was entirely different. At low tide all of the oysters were sealed up making them seem exactly like the hollowed out ones that were used as buildings. It was only during the high tide when they came to life. These huge oysters spread open slightly and they started filtering the water, breathing it in and straining plankton and other toxins from the water, pushing the now cleaned water back out. With millions of these giants working in unison the water constantly swirled and shifted.
It was also a time of great activity. In the low tide the city was akin to a bazaar, with shops and stores set out in the sun, enjoying the warmth of the day and doing business. During the high tide the city took on more of an agricultural feel. Many people swam about from oyster to oyster, checking their health and doing chores like farm workers checking their crops or livestock.
