Blacktail Deer Plateau always been that way

AW, but maybe @Malachi? :)

Eilidh was growing more womanly every day. She was still lanky and awkward, but her height was complete. She wasn't excitingly tall, but she was average height and slim, which made her seem taller. Each day brought a little more grace to her movements. A few months ago she was trying to be an adult with her stance and attitude, and now her grasp of adulthood was closer than ever. She'd be in the adult ranks in a few days, and she wanted to celebrate somehow.

She still needed to learn her trade. Malachi had promised to teach her how to be a chronicler, or at least teach her what he knew about the trade. Eilidh's mother was a chronicler, too, so following in her footsteps was important to the golden girl. She wandered a bit that morning, thinking about the future, and finally after lunch, she decided to act on her ideas. After howling for Malachi, Eilidh settled down beside a small stream in a clearing, hoping he'd live up to his promise.
