not enough bones, could use some more

Rheum's eyes widened in near terror as her uncle described the creatures that had once roamed Boreas. From somewhere up north? How far did north go? The questions lingered in her mind as she glanced around the rolling hills they stood in. At a far glance, one would believe that this place was beautiful, serene, a place to go relax and spend a lovely afternoon. What they would find was a bunch of sporadic outcroppings that hosted the past livelihoods of monsters that once destroyed the land they walked on. Her young brain couldn't fathom how or why these things had gone extinct if they were such destroyers and great predators. Yet, when her bright gaze turned to her uncle, she knew that if enough wolves that were similar in size to him could take down one of them, why couldn't they take down all of them?

Taking a few steps back, she wanted to get a better view of the whole fossil. From where they stood, it appeared that if one were to brush enough of the topsoil away, there would be an entire skeleton lingering beneath the surface. Still listening to her uncle with one ear turned in his direction, she nodded somberly. The interaction with the tiger had left her feeling cautious about traveling alone, but she also wanted to see more things like this. And she couldn't expect her uncle to travel with her whenever she felt like it. "Do you think ma and father will allow me to travel alone to Boreas eventually?" She asked out of curiosity, her gaze settling on Hanzo.
