It was Dread's first big trip on his own. Now that it was spring and he was a yearling, it seemed like it should be a right of passage or something. Should be, but he wasn't so sure. Frankly, Dread hated traveling. The very first time they'd gone away from home, heading all the way down to the Hallows, mom had gotten sick. She'd gotten so sick that she hadn't come home. It was enough to leave a sour taste in his mouth when it came to leaving their cold northern home. If he left, who was going to keep an eye on his siblings? What if someone needed him? But Halo had sent him. Halo needed him, and this is what she needed him to do. It seemed that one of her more finnicky specimens had failed to thrive, and they'd run out of the dried stores from this past winter. With his companions in tow, Dread made his way through the Fern Gulley. Areas of partial sun drew him in, gaze trained on the lush grasses as they grew. He was after boneset, and allegedly it should be growing here. Mid-afternoon sun around his shoulders, the boy kept his head low as he hunted. |
