i like where we are, here

The snowy white owl flew below the dark ash filled clouds, his form easy to see as the sun started to dip below the horizon. Soon it would be their time, Eliphas lived for the night. Like many of his kin his sensitive albino skin couldn’t handle much of the bright light. He preferred to be most active during the night. He and Merlin were making a trip mostly to see what herbs they might gather. The western edge of Boreas was dry and lifeless for the most part, coupled with the volcanic eruption and it made for a difficult time finding what was needed.

The slender Klein made his way through the fjord and to the border of the Bifrost in Auster. The ash and smoke was still horrendous further on, but the color of the smoke and sunset made the sands hold a haunting iridescence. Eliphas paused, dainty paws just touching the sand as his bicolored gaze looked up towards the disastrous sky. His ivory tail flicked nervously at his hips and he wondered if he had found his limit of exploration.

He ‘hmm’d’ softly to himself and bit the inside of his cheek nervously. He’d been out in the wilds for too long, and he was already pushing his luck not bringing along another member of the pack with him. He knew very well what could happen alone and unaware.. Thoughts of the bear sent shivers down his pale spine and the young Klein shifted his weight from foot to foot nervously. ”Merlin, do keep a close eye out.” He called out before having another look around himself.
