- the sun was splitting the trees of the forest causing a glow that basked the landscape that stretched out before them in a deep
orange glow of the fiery red leaves. duskfall had definitely joined them earlier than expected this year. carrionhornet suspected
it was because they had unanimously decided that bloomingflower was to get a plentiful offering in an attempt to stave off his s
iblings and had spectacularly backfired and had only served as the driving force of a spite-fuelled fire that burned the trees aro
und them turning their once green leaves into their signature dark browns and oranges that had define the next three months t
hat lay before them.
as the trio walked through the darkening woods around them in a last ditch attempt to find the summer herbs that they would n
eed for the upcoming winter and all the ails that come with the future visit of bitingfrost. but alas, while they walked, their trio v
ery quickly dwindled into a solo tour as deer skipped away- to chase after an intensely auburn leaf was whisked from the groun
d and into the air my a particularly intense gust of wind, while asphodelspider, slimy little mink that he was, also slipped away f
rom hemlockstorms other side, probably to do something more nefarious, or, more likely, in a fruitless bid to find the last vesti
es of prey before they went deep into their burrows for what the call had dubbed 'the long sleep' where pray was even scarcer to
find than the winter would usually beg for.
and thus their expedition of three was cut to one. one hunter felled to their clan-ly duties and down one apprentice to whom she
was *supposed* to gather herbs with. absolutely typical. this wasn't the first time deer had gotten distracted by something as tan
talising as a leaf of all things and, well, she couldn't really say anything bad about their escort, as he was simply doing what was
assigned to him, outwith guarding his wards.
not particularly wanting to head back empty pawed, hemlock continued their search for what they had originally ventured out of t
he safety of the camp for: herbs, apprentice and hunter be damned. though, they doubted it would be very long until the two miss
ing cats joined her again, especially deer as they certainly would be getting an earful and, depending on how long it would take for
the neophyte to catch up, a docking of prey for the night.
either way, it wouldn't be long before bitingfrost arrived. there was a certain chill in the air that hemlockstorm could feel deep in he
r bones, an aching that they were used to and a shivering in their whiskers. she sighed as she trudged along, kicking up plumes of
leaves as they went.
