Where do they want to visit this summer?:
Thalia pushed the thick undergrowth aside, blinking away the water that fell in her eyes. Her trained eyes scanned the forest floor, dancing over the abundance of plants growing. "There!" She crouched and extended a paw, brushing aside a couple of fallen leaves. But as she did so, Thalia paused, then sighed in disappointment. "Not quite..." Straightening back up, she reshouldered her pack and took in a deep, appreciative breath. The forest was always a few degrees cooler than the land outside of it, and a nice summer shower was just the icing on top. Her fur was already pretty much stuck down to her skin, her nose and paws smudged with dirt, but Thalia couldn't care less.
A bird called as she stepped over a couple of fallen branches, the sound blending perfectly with the quiet patter of raindrops. When everything was so fresh and clean like this, Thalia could swear that the forest smelled even more earthy and inviting than it usually did. A smile fixed to her face, Thalia scouted out a nice log to sit on and unpacked her picnic lunch, munching away absently as she became lost in her thoughts.
As a potions master, she spent a lot of time scouring the surrounding lands for ingredients and just generally appreciating the beauty of nature. The forest she was in now was beautiful and everything, but she'd been here so many times that it was starting to feel almost too familiar. The groves of fruit trees, wildly growing, the patches of medicinal herbs, the creek that babbled merrily along...they all felt like old friends. But just as with any good friends, Thalia wanted some excitement, too. What would it be like to travel outside of the lands she knew and loved? What kinds of new plants and ingredients could she find to experiment with?
Thalia finished her sandwich and sat for a while longer, closing her eyes. She'd always wanted to visit a jungle, somewhere lush and filled with life. She'd imagine there would be flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors, plants sprouting from every possible surface. She'd read a book about a jungle in a faraway land, long ago, but the scenery described therein had always stayed with her in the back of her mind.Standing up and brushing the debris off of her fur, Thalia stretched and started on her hunt again, images of rainforest birds running through her mind. Perhaps it was time to plan a trip. [ 418 / 500 ]
