The Party Has Finally Arrived

He'd been traveling for what felt like forever at this point. His paws were achy, complete with sores on the pads from endless travel. Not that he hadn't taken a few pit stops along the way, often sharing a den with a stranger for a night before slinking out come morning. Not that he didn't want to spend more time with the men he'd shared bed and body with, but he needed to locate the rest of his family. Although he had a general idea, he was at a loss to where they had all finally settled.

Their scent was scattered around, that much he knew. Bits and pieces of a trail here and there, but it never led him anywhere. Perhaps he had the most perfectly imperfect timing, always missing one of his siblings or cousins certainly was beginning to make him feel like it at least. With a sigh after failing to locate anyone attached to the scent trail he was following, he found an interesting cave along the way, complete with a strange blue glow that intrigued him. What was one more break? It wasn't like he had some grand purpose in the same way as others in the family, in fact, he was rather happy with his place in the hierarchy. It allowed him to have a little more fun... like tasting one of the mushrooms growing in the strange glowing cave. What could possibly go wrong?
