Nova Peak hearts and minds

Swift had not yet opened his eyes, but he was awake, and his senses were sharpening by the day. Thus when his mother arrived with an assortment of goodies, his nose began to twitch and his head turned toward the smells wafting his way. Strength was building in his legs, and they pulled him steadily toward the new smells, where his nose bumped into the clump of ox droppings. He stopped, his head bobbing, nose probing the clump as it breathed in the peculiar smell.

Then, his eyelids slid back.

And so it was that young Swift's first view of the world was...

well... shitty.
