Hidden secrets within?

It was a strange thing, this feast other animals were inviting the wolves too, but it certainly wasn’t the first strange thing Kotori had ever seen or heard of.  The horned wolf recalled the snows of his birth that his family had to explain was abnormal, as were the giant wolves and cats that had come with it.  There had been the strange darkness with fireflies and crystals that had happened over a year ago now.

Kotori glanced at Fang, the little mongoose hardly visible, but the glowing blue in his fur standing out through seems green brush.  The mongoose didn’t seem to care much for Aia which made sense.  Fang was a grumpy thing and Aia was the polar opposite with her cheery disposition. Whether it was that simple Kotori had no idea.

Now, apparently, statues had come from nowhere and were strangely affecting terrain in some locations.  Kotori was curious, and happy to enjoy festivities but couldn’t shake a bit of wariness at something strange once more happening in the land.  For now, though, this was another chance to get out with Aia, and give her some new experiences.

The mangroves were lots of fun for a pup, at least they had been for Kotori.  This place had just about everything one could want in Kotori’s mind for creating a decoration.  Various branches and roots, all manner of plants, and any other number of mysteries for a curious pup to find.

“Have a look around Aia.  The strange animals said those coming to the feast should bring either food, some type of drink, or decorations.  Explore, have fun but see if you can’t find something to take for the feast while you are at it.” Obviously, they could find everything needed in Valta’s turf but part of this was letting Aia explore and learn of lands besides just home.

Kotori noticed Fang’s faded light wasn’t visible now, the tiny predator had probably gone to find food of its own.
