Dawnlark Plains Sang the jelly bean prayer

This is a private pack activity for members of Phoenix Maplewood only. @Spring @Esaro @Shreya @Grace @Laika @Casmir @Desna (and @Chosovi once added to the ranks). No obligation to participate, I just wanted to do something Easter-y. :) It's mostly a free-for-all so post as many times as you like and as you see fit to enjoy this activity, just make sure to gives others a chance to participate as well! I'll only archive it once it seems to be winding down, and I'll post intermittently as well. :)

In the early dawn, with a hankering for eggs, Saena summoned her wolves and led those interested in joining her through the woods and past the moraine until they opened out onto the vast Dawnlark Plains. From here, she could see the charred eastern slope of Redtail Rise. Beyond that, a faint outline in a misty haze, was Nova Mountain. The grass was laden with dew and glimmered in the early light and the air had a fresh, light quality to it that only spring could bring. It would be one of her last forays out into the world before the birth of her children and she intended to enjoy every last minute of it without allowing her nightmares to ruin her mood.

"Spread out," she called light-heartedly, and had she a tail it would've been wagging for the first time in days. "We're hunting for eggs! Quail eggs, pheasant eggs, there are loads of ground birds here and, therefore, loads of eggs." There would be enough for every Phoenix wolf to eat their fill, they just needed to find them, but the birds of the taiga weren't too smart for the hungry wolves. They knew the sorts of hiding places quails and pheasants used and they would scrounge up eggs eventually.

Saena dropped her nose to the ground, sniffing heavily as she waddled westward in search of hidden eggs.
