Today was the perfect day for gathering herbs. She awoke before the day began, the only hint of the sun being the soft rays of light that abrely peeked over the horizon, just enough to cast brilliant arrays of color over the horizon. Still the sky was dark, with the stars twinkling up above, and she slowly roused herself from the silent confines of her den. Already she missed Novel's presence, but she knew it was selfish to spend every waking moment with her, and so she decided today would be a day for work.

There was nothing in particular that was needed for anyone in Ludicael, nor for her own personal store of herbs -- but she could surely find something that might be useful in the future. With a quick stretch and a long, silent yawn, she made her way from the safety of her den, and the familiar landscape that she had grown accustomed to. The wild vegetation seemed to grow more sparse as she went, diligent and alert, despite having only woken up a mere few moments ago.

Ara got to watch the sunrise on her journey, eying the massive glowing orb as it slowly rose in the sky, the dark blue of the heavens slowly turning a brilliant shade of pink and orange before fading to a brilliant blue. The air was growing warm here as summer threatened to approach, though it wasn't quite hot enough to be unbearable. Hours passed as she wandered with no apparent goal. Before long, the scent of salt and ocean water grew heavy in her nose. Had she really wandered so far from home? It seemed time went by quickly when she explored, and her thoughts drifted like a leaf on the wind, aimless and content and she dreamed of what might lay ahead of her.

The grass faded slowly to sand, the foliage growing nonexistent as the beach spread out before her. A contented sigh left her lips as she felt the pads of her paws touch the warm sand, and she found herself shifting her paws as she went, enjoying the feeling. She wandered to the shoreline, letting the frigid water lap at her paws, The girl's gaze would catch a cavern in the distance, perhaps a safe place to rest and recover from her journey here? Curiously she would pad toward it, eying the dark cave with interest. It was certainly suitable for a nap, she thought... and before long, she had slipped into its depths and lay against one of the walls, slipping into a light sleep.
