Discoveries

Having carved out three, equally spaced indents in his piece of leather, Zagan sits back to inspect his work. It wasn’t professional by any means- it was a bit clumsy, just like Sericea’s work, but it would do. “Yes, like that.” He says with a nod, and motions to the pine forest at the dome of the dormant volcano. “Now, we need tree sap.” It would be a journey, but the adults had done a well enough job at carving out a suitable trail- they could reach the top in an hour, if they moved quickly.

-Journeying to the forest-

Arriving at the base of the growing pine forest, Zagan pauses to test the environment. So far, it seemed they were the only pack members here- the usual symphony of the forest was echoing around them, and intertwined, was the occasional bleat of the pack's herd of sheep. “Over here.” He says, herding Sericea toward one of the towering pine trees. Once they were standing in front of it, Zagan raised onto his hind legs, placing his forepaws on the trunk to use his claws to scrape the bark. After a few tries, droplets of amber-colored sap started to ooze from the markings. “We will use the sap to stick the gems in the indents.” With a flick of his tail, he motions for her to collect some of the sap onto her piece of leather.
