Big Salmon Lake no hardcore dancing in the living room

Walking past the boundaries of Blackfeather Woods was no longer an issue after having experienced the new things beyond the forest. Keelut had gone out on his own, and with company to explore the world, and he didn't think he could ever get enough of it. There were little things out there that didn't catch the curious acolyte's eye, and the plants that he'd found out there and brought back home were simply a rarity compared to the variety he usually found in Blackfeather Woods.

He went west this time, breaking out of the dark without telling anyone, without announcing his departure. He did not believe he would be away for too long, for as much as he enjoyed the outside world he could never get enough of the gloomy swamps back home.

So far he hadn't like his decision too much, the west was boring and plain and devoid of emotions. He would have turned back hadn't he seen the lake in the distance, and even there, he would have found it utterly dull hadn't he seen the amazing idea that girl in the water had come up with. Keelut rushed his pace into a trot, and the emotion pushed it into a gallop, and in long, swift strides he reached the water to join the strange girl with a cannonball into the water. Mud and water were splashed everywhere, and his laughter filled the cold air with warmth. Playing in the mud had never been as exciting back in Blackfeather Woods... Perhaps it was the freedom he felt out here without his entire family wondering what the fuck he found so funny.
