If I make it through today... will tomorrow be the same?

The boy was further from the den than he had intended… but he was on the hunt for something specific. He could have found it in the east, surely, but the boy had also wanted to branch out and see a bit more of the world around him. Besides, alfalfa was a pretty common herb… surely he could find some during his travels to bring back to the lake in the East. At the very least he was sure he would find something of interest out here. There were different herbs that grew in this area…  The boy breathed in, eager to learn about all these different plants and come to know them all.

The boy spread his wings and felt the wind blowing around them, his gaze turning skyward as he got caught up in a daydream. How he longed to soar in the skies… to become one with the heavens as he was certain the Goddess Celeste intended.

“Someday…” The boy mused to himself.

His light green eyes shifted back to the land around him as a great many scents wafted to him from beyond the entrance to the cavern he now stood in front of. He wasn’t sure about exploring it, truth be told. There definitely wouldn’t be any herbs there… but further along and he’d meet pack territory it seemed.

What to do?
