Golden Glade Stranger to you

The glade was well named for the sunlight streamed in amongst the grassy area in shades of gold. The tunnels unnerved her as they disappeared deeply into the rock, becoming dark after only a few feet. 

The scents were weak within it, letting her know the area was hardly used. The agouti female kept to the largest frontal area, near the stream as she tried in vain to peer into the crack where it disappeared. For the life of her she couldn't see into it, nor could she hear where the water disappeared to. After a half an hour she no longer paid it any attention.

It was evening when she lay by the stream with a dead mouse, watching the rain that had begun to fall with amber eyes.
