He put his feet in the cool water. A simple pleasure easily forgotten in these times. Perhaps it was the act of being by water and the sea that brought him this calm as it had always done so in the past.
He looked up at the sky feeling the warmth on his face. His soul still reeling form the merger of two spirits calm and fierce. But it was becoming more settled now. A smile had begun to creep upon his face more often even if it was a more dull version of the youthful one he once had.
A small thunk rang in his ears. His eyes clinched, knowing what it was but he paid it no mind. Dismissing it. Something he would not get worked up over any longer.
Smack!
A piece of paper flung and stuck to the side of his face, blown by the wind. Kaz reached grasped it and Pulled it away from his face. He could make out the brown wrapping with a yellow sea shell symbol swirled in the center. The sign of a nearby store.
Walking towards him was a group of people crumpling up another bag and dropping it onto the pier. behind them was a trail of trash. The thunk he heard earlier was the unmistakable sound of cups tossed onto the wooden boardwalk.
"Hey!" he yelled over to them. They stopped abruptly. The one in the lead almost hugging himself from being startled.
"If you would be so kind as to pick up your trash," he stared down the group. His words were calm but his eyes hid a storm. They panicked and scattered, leaping off the sides of the pier.
"You little," without a second thought he cast a whirlwind engulfing them. The group fell dizzy eyed and out cold on the small beach. "agh, Looks like I over did it a bit,"
He looked at the rest of the dirty pier. Trash scattered all over it and there was a twitch in his eye. "People can't just take care of things. Leave it as you find it."
He let out a sigh as he grabbed a nearby broom from a custodial shack and got to work running up and down the pier, pushing the trash into neat piles and working up a sweat under the sun.
