The girl had wiggled off away from the den, curiosity and an eager mind leading her away from the redwater rocks. She enjoyed the vivid greeneries that this neighboring land had to offer. The smell and feel of the grass was far more appealing than stone. But there was a sponginess to the grass here. It gave way to her paw and sank further into the earth. Simurgh found that neat, her ears perked forward and eyes at her paws as she kept walking. The child was thankful for a cloudy day; she only needed to squint when the sun revealed itself. Bit by bit she drew closer to the waters of the lake, until the splash of a fish breaching the waters and coming back down with a splash caught her attention.
Gaze shot up just in time to see the carp fall back in. Her gaze lit up, and she would hurry forward to investigate, at least until her paws sank into the mud of the lake’s bank. This would give young Simurgh pause, a frown flicking across her maw as she looked down at her toes. Weird… the earth kept shifting… but what about that thing she saw? She looked up, waiting, but the fish did not return. Disappointment caused her ears to fall. Aww man… Did she miss getting another look at it?
