Mount Apikuni nascent discoveries

at the base of apikuni.

He moved north from the lake at first, but found that the open air upon him was unsettling, and then turned towards the mountains. It was not so much the wind that bothered him, nor the pleasant warmth of the spring sun - it felt much like summer, oddly hot for the season - but the lack of cover that made Betelgeuse seek shelter. The mountains afforded some shade as they rose up to loom over him, and the closer he got the more populous the trees became. Perhaps here his luck would change? Betelgeuse had still not eaten since his arrival in these wild lands, and the closer he got to the base line of the mountain, the hungrier he became. He found a route which took him an hour's length up the mountain's base, winding between trees and diligently seeking the steady, rock-heavy paths; but this petered out, leaving him upon a ledge that overlooked a sheer drop, and he grunted in his piggish way — inexorably frustrated.
