And The Summer Blazes On

Summer blazes on in Auster, the oppressive heat chokes each day and suffocates the nights, making it difficult to escape. The only relief Strix has found is near the water, where a cool ocean breeze penetrates his coat and leeches the heat from his body. Because of this, the boy has taken to patrolling the beach as much as can. In fact, he would be there now if Cináed had not sent a requested the clouded boy’s help. The heat hasn’t just been rough on the Klein family, it has also taken its toll on the pack slaves. The fiery pelted male had been tasking with figuring out a way to keep them cool and healthy. Cináed had thought of misting the overheating wolves but they still needed to keep them health.

Cue Strix’s help. The boy had gone to his kind mother, filling her in on their project and requesting herbs to help the sickly wolves. Of course, Aliana had happily obliged the boy, pointing out the different berries and listing off their names before wrapping them in a loose piece of leather. She stuffed some herbs in the bundle as well before tying it off and handing it to her son. After a quick kiss to his clouded mother’s check and a hug, Strix had quickly made his way to where Cináed works. Bundle clasped tightly in his jaws, the boy trots up to working red wolf and deposits the herbs.

Looking at the tall wolf, Strix gives him a happy wag of his tail as he says, “Okay, so, mom says we can feed them the elderberries to help keep them from getting sick. They also need to drink a lot more water.” As he talks, Strix’s undoes the tied bundle and points out the berries, before pointing at the ginseng root and saying, “And we can steep this root in some warm water for them to drink. It will boost their immune system. She also gave me other stuff to help… um.” Mismatched eyes look over the herbs as he tries to remember what everything does.
