Lets spread out

Strix is off the island. His mind boggles at the all the strange scents and sights greet him. Sure, he had gone to visit the castle with his family but that had been ages ago. Or… it felt like. When his Aunt had approached the boy of clouded grays and black about the prospect of going to gather herbs, off the island he, of course, said yes. With that, Dalila and Erystotle (the really colorful healer that seems nice) had herded him and his brother Orthrus off to the nearby falls. His first instinct is to rush about and smell everything but the boy reigns himself in, knowing that, if he behaves, he may be allowed off the island more.

They finally reach the beautiful falls and Aunt Dalila lays out the ground rules before turning them loose. Wait, what? They get explore… by themselves? Okay, yeah they have to stay with sight and yeah they have to call if they find something unfamiliar but other than that, they are free. Giving a happy little bark, Strix paws at his taller sibling and teases, “Don’t go eating anything unknown Orth. Would hate to have to carry home.” A laugh follows the shorter boy as he races away to nimbly leap down the short rock cliff to land near the bottom of the falls.

As soon as his paws hit the bottom rock, a strong, spicy smell greets his sensitive nose. A memory tugs at the back of Strix’s mind, reminding him of one of the herbs in his mother’s garden. Lowering his nose to the ground, the boy of black and clouded grays begins to follow the strong scent.



OOC: Strix is on the trail of watercress!
