The Star-Tide [I]

Waterglades.

They were rare crystal-clear and transparent water shells. Beautiful as they might appear, they were not the real treasures, but what was inside them. The ever magical and translucent water jellies. Apart from the fact that they were magical and could purify and fortify the power of the soul, they were one of the best delicacies on the mortal plane. He had seen one like that before, when the antique dealers came to their village. Only one was brought to their village, and was already purchased before they could even admire it. 

He had seen, but had never tasted one. His mother had also told him about their uniqueness. That was why they were simply too expensive. He was already relishing the delicious taste and couldn't wait to have a taste. As he was cautiously and gradually approaching the source of the radiance, he was certain he could not be anything more than a waterglade.
