Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Round 3 - the final one. Arrival at the treasure spot.

Children were all different to their approach to solving problems. Nellie was lucky by finding the correct trail right away and Wraen had to stiffle a chuckle, when the girl gave everyone else a warning glance of not following her. She was similar to her mom - beautiful, no doubt, but fierce and independent as well. 

Avery was a little unsure about, what to do, and Sugar Glider gave up on the problem alltogether. Since this was just a game and the attendance was voluntary, Wraen said nothing. But she did make a mental note on being attentive to this kid during the future lessons. There was no "I won't do this"-kind of bailing out, when it would come to real hunts and working together with other packmates. She made sure that the little Blackthorn girl returned safely to on of the adults and then returned to watching others. 

Pox was enthusiastic and determined to a fault, his excitement was so contagious that it left little room for his other two siblings to think for themselves. Even if they were going the wrong way completely. She let them have their fun for a bit, and, when Nellie and Elfie were within short distance of the actual treasure spot, she got up and padded over to Pox, stopped him in his tracks and told: "I think that I caught a whiff of Snark over there." She beckoned to the direction the other two kids gone taken off. 

Her narrator hopes that she managed to convince Pox that her idea to go the other way was his work of genius all along and that by the end all kids had narrowed down on the correct spot near the base of the uprooted tree. There was plenty of soft sand to dig into and the remaining vertebra and some ribs were scattered all around.
