screw winter anyway

It was autumn. With cooler weather had come a gradual ceasing of the storms that had plagued them all summer, but it was also a horrible reminder that winter was coming. Winter, when the chill killed off all but the hardiest herbs and they'd have to depend upon what they had managed to store for supplies. Winter, when diseases and hunger would hit hardest, and only three healers, and Kassander and Callisto were not considered ready to be full healers so really the pack only had one healer. Kassander was on a mission. He'd been obsessively stocking caches since before the storms had started that summer and though the rains had molded and ruined many of them there were still a ridiculous amount scattered around Ebony's lands by now and he was continuously adding to them as autumn crept by. The way he figured it was, why waste time running all the way back to his den for herbs when he could hide caches all over and always have herbs nearby in emergencies? That was what he was doing now, digging beneath a sheltered hollow where a flat rock had fallen against two others to create a small sheltered area to enlarge it for another cache. Backing out of the hollow, he shook dirt off his head and measured it by eye. No, not quite right. A bit bigger. He crawled back in, only his soot-tipped white tail and his snowy hind paws braced against the entrance still visible from the exterior. |
