Hunting and gathering

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This would be the first time she got to step outside the territory without Bas. She was no longer a slave. She was a Steward now. She didn't know what she would need! Rope, a snack, a tool of some kind... another snack. She probably wasn't going to be away long. She grabbed some charcoal and rolled up parchment.

Finally feeling like she could do what she could she made her way to where Wylan would be waiting for her. She smiled warmly at the younger boy, he was still so much larger than her and his wings were quite formidable. She'd be safe with him by her side. Hopefully, they could capture the sheep and sheer it, keep it with the goats she got with Tethys.

"Wyl!" She called out, still some distance away. He seemed engrossed in his play with Glacier. She picked up her pace and came alongside him.
"Wyl! I'm ready! Let's go! Where did they say it was?" She asked. It'll be fun with Wylan, at least she still has Wyl as a friend if everything truly falls apart with Spider.

She let him lead the way. She noticed that as they walked the terrain was somewhat familiar. The stone was slate grey and while the foliage was nigh nonexistent she swears she had been here before. The snows covered most of the tracks and the cliffs were stark against the late winter sky. She could hear the falls echo through the rockwork.

Oh! She remembers now... Yes! There it was! When Basilisk first enslaved her, he stashed her in that cave right there for a few days. She had gone nearly crazy with boredom.
