Larksong Grotto 20:15

set at the lake, all welcome.

He left Vuk and Seff to rest that early morning and went in search of food. Reek had been kind enough to bring whatever morsels he could find, and like any gentleman, Terich had given them over to the mother. He did not have milk to produce for their offspring, so he could stand the famine a little longer. Besides, Reek had told him of a lake in the territory, and he set off to find it.

The morning mist rolled through the grotto, blanketing the sparse trees in its mist. He could almost imagine the trees had leaves still, and that the quiet was simply because the birds still slept. But as the sun rose and the mist fled, revealing the barren land he trekked through, Terich's hope withered with it. Finally he came to the lakeside and eyed the surface, wondering what kinds of fish lurked beneath. Without pause, he stepped into the waters and stilled, searching the waters for any sign of tail or fin.
