Meadowlark Prairie toccato and fugue in d minor

Someone from BFW? ;)

This was not the ideal time of year to gather plants and herbs, yet Raven knew she must collect what she could before the frost and snow killed off everything until springtime. She found what she could in and around the caldera, yet the aspiring medic knew she must branch out somewhat to get everything she needed for a baseline medical inventory. But she didn't dare go further than the adjacent territories, lest she get lost all over again, and her pace was slow and tentative as she breached the far eastern border to explore the neighboring prairie.

There was a shadowy forest in the distance and Raven paused on the grassland, eyeballing it and then peeking over one shapely black shoulder. She could still see the caldera from here. As long as she kept it in view, perhaps it would be safe to go a little farther. The woods would offer a greater variety than an open and exposed prairie. Slowly, she began padding closer.
