Cover Every Base

Kavdaya had been on this continent for a while now. She had traveled a great deal, leaving caches anywhere she found good herbs, memorizing their locations and the contents until she could name each plant stored without a thought. Spring, and her first heat in the land, had passed her by without much notice; she took plants to ease the moodiness and calm her hormones, and she hadn’t met anyone who made the heat unbearable. She was soothed to know there were other Nomads on the land. Maximous had been a welcome find, and she hoped she would meet more old friends and fellow healers from her birth pack as time went by. Thus far, she had only encountered three other wolves long enough to speak to them. Deivad, Maximous, and Andreas. She knew there were far more than them; she heard and smelled others almost daily.

Right now, she was carefully uprooting a ginger root, listing the symptoms and illnesses it remedied aloud to herself, a constant train of thought. “Good for fevers, is an anticoagulant, so can stop blood clots… Can be dangerous if too much is eaten in excess amounts… Good for pain and sore muscles, coughs and colds… Good for joint stiffness.. I think it could be even better if there was just a way to heat it…” She paused for a moment to ponder that idea. She had smelled what could possibly be a hot spring in the east, but it had been protected behind a pack border. She shrugged, bending back to her careful work, gently prizing the plant from the earth, before it had been excavated enough that she could reach in with her jaws and pull it free of the hole.

She straightened, stepping away from the hole and dropping her prize on the ground. It was a good size; plenty of doses in just this one root. She bent once more, taking it up in her jaws and carried it toward the small stash she had begun to build up over the last few days. Pawing the stones she had covered the cache with aside, she set the root in among the other assorted herbs and tubers, taking a moment to catalog them in her mind before she carefully covered the cache again, stone by stone. She shook out her snowy coat and scanned the surroundings with keen deep sapphire, amethyst flecked eyes, letting them rove over the foliage around her for any other herbs that could be gathered and added to the cache.
