Beware the bored fox

Well, this was certainly what he got for trying to take a short cut. He knew there was a place to the north west of the mangroves that was littered with little bits and bobs and pieces of metal and that was where he was trying to get to. He had a specific idea in his mind for a gift for Azariah, but he really had no idea where to find or how to make such a thing. He had hoped that the Veteran's Plateau would be a good place to start looking, but he didn't really want to take the time to go all the way around the packs that made a bit of a barrier between between him and his destination. Now he was trudging his way through this densely vegetated forest that was swathed in creepy mist. It was weirdly quiet and it made the trip through this place a bit unpleasant. It was difficult enough to get through all the thick underbrush and vines with his large, bulky form, but the added factor of the unsettling quietness didn't help. He couldn't even hurry through it because he had to carefully pick his way through it all. Occasionally he'd find a small clearing and he'd pause for a moment to peer at the path ahead to find the clearest route before he continued. He knew this was all to get a surprise for Azariah so he couldn't have brought her with him, but maybe he should have asked Nausicaa to come just so he wouldn't have to be alone. |
