Before The Barrier Reef~
To the east looms a vast coral reef.  As hard as stone and twice as

beautiful, the reef is a bright orange-red, the color of the setting sun. 

Dotted here and there with anemones, sea cucumbers and various starfish,

the reef teems with life.  A wide archway opens to the east, too

symmetrical to be natural.

Within a Coral Archway~
Standing within the archway, you notice the coral is finely polished and

the pores have been filled in with a fine, silvery metal giving the coral

a mottled look.  The floor of the archway is smooth, burnished coral,

sprinkled liberally with sand.  To the east and south lie coral hallways,

glowing with a faint light.

This large hallway has been worked out of the coral itself.  Polished to

an orange gleam, the walls and floor are porous, allowing water to pass

freely through them.  Phosphorescent moss grows out of some of the

coral's pores, shedding a dim, silvery glow on the hallway.  The powdery

white sand that covers the floor billows up with every step you take.

Within the Kelp Beds~
The green kelp stalks rise, tall and straight, to the surface where the

broad leaves spread out over the water.  Planted in rows and carefully

tended, the kelp opens to allow small trails between the huge marine

plants.  Many varieties of colorful seaweed grow in a border along the

trails, lending some color to the dark green of the kelp beds.

of kelp obscure your vision to the east and west, though schools of

Within the Kelp Beds - Along a Small Trail~
The kelp stalks in the beds to the east have been harvested recently.  A

number of small seedlings have been planted to replace the harvested

stalks.  Bordering beds of colorful seaweed provide some relief from the

constant greenish-brown color of the kelp.  Flickers of movement from

within the kelpbeds to the north catch your eye, though you never see any

more than flashes of color.

A Narrow Trail in the Kelp Beds~
Small, round rocks are scattered along the sandy trail, worn smooth by

the ever-changing currents.  The stalks of kelp are very close together

here and prohibit passage further into the beds.  To the west, the kelp

grows together so thickly that it makes an impenetrable wall.  A small

cord hangs down from one of the giant stalks.
