A stream of water gently trickled over the edge of the rock side, forming a beautiful waterfall from which a rainbow grew. The waterfall had formed a pool by the bottom of the rock, surrounded by sand and the green vegetation that also covered the rest of the island.

She was completely in awe as she walked through the trees, ending up at the east side of the pool. The stream mesmerised her as it fell into the water below, making rings appear and spread across the surface.

Her feet slowly started to bring her towards the water as her hands started to strip her down to her underwear. Her left foot made contact with the lukewarm water, the rest of her soon following as she dove into the water. She swam towards the waterfall, hoping the find an unexplored cave behind it as she had many times before on various islands.

The water fell on her head as she swam through the waterfall, entering a voluminous cave which narrowed into small tunnel, leading to a less spacious cave. She easily recognised she wouldn't be able to fit in the tunnel and decided not to bother with exploring the second cave.

The floor of the cave was covered by a thin layer of water as it was slightly below the waterline. She walked a bit further into the cave and observed how the water couldn't reach this part of the cave, the floor completely dry apart from where she dripped onto it.

She noticed how the cave walls seemed to dance with the light shining through the waterfall, capturing her complete attention. She was awed to the point where she didn't realise a small, furred creature had made its way from the small cave, through the tunnel and into the cave where she was stood.

The tiny, black fox-like creature rubbed up against her legs, startling her. As she bent down to pet its head, it scurried off into the smaller cave, quickly returning with a nearly round object in its mouth. It gently placed the object by her, urging her on to a game of fetch.
