Being a year older did not only bring tons of new chores and responsabilities, it also demanded change --and that was exactly what she intended to do that lovely late-summer afternoon. She had left the Plateu after having eaten a squirrel that had practically jumped at her feet.
She was willing to expand her horizons and meet new places she had not seen before. As she trotted through the flatlands a distand hiss caught her attention. At first she thought an animal like a lynx or some kind of feline was wandering around the Kintla flatlands -- but as she crept closer she realized the sizzling sound came from an irregular hole in the ground that slowly expelled steam.
She looked in awe as she noticed there was not only one of these peculiar holes covering the flatland's carpet. The yearling took a step forth and sniffed the ground curiously at the space next to the crater.
What was burning inside those holes to make steam come out??
