Among The Lilacs and Lilies

The morning had started off just like any other; Serene had woken up to the first light of a new day, curled up in a shallow ground hog hole she had dug up to fit her mass. Unraveling from her tight ball, the sandy fae stretched out before starting her day. A light breakfast meant she would spend a great majority of her morning tracking down an unsuspecting hare, making sure to thank the heavens for her meal before dining in. Afterwords, she would continue her journey south in attempts to find a new place that she could one day call home again.

The sun had already reached it's peak when Serene began to feel the need to quench her thirst. Like much of her training had suggested, she followed the signs of life until she came across a small stream. There she quickly lapped up the water, only to have her gaze fall upon a most holy sight. Spread out in a vast, untamed garden, were a variety of flowers and herbs unlike any she had seen before. Of course, her mother had taught her the basics of healing as a young pup, and they had spent a great majority of their time hunting varies herbs. But she had never come across a treasure like this before. A healers pantry.

With a soft giggle from her lips, Serene gently leaped over the stream and into the vegetation; taking in the sights and smells with a warm smile on her face. After her recent troubles, it was a pleasant surprise to be met with such a heaven like this. Golden fur brushed against the various plants, letting their scent mingle with her own until she would capture the very scent of spring. Finally her eyes set on a bundle of Meadowsweet and her curiosity peaked. She had seen the herb once before, when her mother had brought it home after one of her hunts. The familiar white and yellow flowers spoke out against the others, as the memory came flooding back to the female. A sad smile entered her features as she realized how much she truly missed her mother. But she had to be in a better place now, right?
