Adventure is out there! ... Maybe too much

It felt like nearly all of her children had taken after their father's wanderlust and try as she might she simply couldn't deny their pleading gazes as they asked to get away from the castle walls and see other parts of their world. Perhaps it would have been easy enough to be a more stern parent and tell them they had to wait until they were older, but as long as they didn't go far and she or Artorias were with them then she didn't see too much harm in a bit of adventure. After all, Artorias' adventurous spirit was one of her favorite things about her husband so she certainly didn't want to discourage that in their pups. She only wished that perhaps they waited until they weren't so tiny to crave their adventure!

With the little black cloud that was her precious Dusk in tow, Briar made her way out toward the sloping valleys of Fossil Ridge. She had a feeling that the massive bones that poked out of the ground and the nearly unearthed skulls might just keep her daughter's interest for at least a little bit and if she was lucky the walk out here and back might tire her out before it was time for a nap. "Oooh, look at this one," she said as she pointed out a large, toothy skull that was partially exposed, the massive creature clearly forgotten and lost to time, leaving just its bones behind. Marigold tailed just behind the pair of wolves and Willow patrolled the sky, helping to be extra sets of eyes while they took a look around the unusual landscape.
