I let you push me post the breaking point After leaving the odd crowd, Avery had wandered far and wide. During her time in Alacritis she had grown a lot. Although she was still incredibly small, she had a bit of muscle on her bones. Not having been taught to hunt, Avery had to make do with any berries or plants she could find, resutling in her skinniness. With winter rolling in she had to collect as many berries and herbs as she could. Foraging was just what Avery was doing now. In her jaws she had a twig with deep red berries dangling off the stalks. They weren't very healthy looking, but they were the best the fea could find. The little wolf was enticed by the strong smell of cow parsley. It was quite a common herb, but it has many look-a-likes that are deadly. Avery had learned over the weeks of foraging the difference between the two. After following for a little while, Avery found a large patch of the stuff. Luckily, it was the real thing. Avery started nipping at the shoots, collecting the old plants at their base. She had to do this to make room for new shoots to grow. Pleased at her now bountiful collection of food, Avery trotted on in the dense folliage until she found a clearing. A frozen river ran from the centre outwards. At the top of the tallest mountain the little pup had seen, was a waterfall. Now, Avery had seen waterfalls before, but not one like this. This one was frozen solid! The pup stared wide eyed at the wonder and was so mesmerized that she failed to spot the other form standing on the river before her. Only noticing him when he moved backwards, she stiffled a gasp. Instead, she took a step forwards, out of the underbrush and layed down her herbs. Hello? |
