Under the canopy

Their father had decided to take them with him on an herb-collecting trip to Boreas. Only two of them could come with him on the trip, however, Alexander and his sister Haydée had been the lucky two allowed on this trip. They had come far, walking through different lands in Auster before making their way up into Boreas. It had been a long walk, and they had stopped to rest several times, their father worrying about the pups getting too tired or sore to keep going. Alex thought they were doing pretty well though! They had made it to a land that their father called Cryer’s Ravine, and above them a canopy sent leaves falling down throughout the area.

They were beautiful, colored in reds, oranges, golds, and even brown! Alexander liked the way they fell, almost as if they were dancing in the air on the way down. It was fun to chase them, trying to grab them before they hit the ground. In truth, the young boy was just delighted to be away from home and get to see new and exciting things. His tail wagged back and forth as his green gaze shifted toward his smaller sister, a lopsided grin appearing on his face.

“Hey,” He spoke in a happy tone, hoping to catch her attention. Their father was already working on checking for herbs, and as they moved through the crunchy leaves, he was excited and had a plan in mind for interacting with her. “What do you say to a spar? Right here, right now, just you and me?” He turned to face her, lowering his front half to the ground as his tail and bottom wiggled in the air. A spar could be fun! Then they could be more like their mother, right?
