The Sunspire That Could Go to Space

For anyone in SS Akita hasn't met yet ( @Ferdie Von Pelt @Erika @Vienna @Fang @Summer ). I didn't tag a couple of you cos you're still in TBD stage, or you're pups that are too young to leave the den still. But yeah. None of you whom I tagged should feel obligated to post. Only if you have time/want to! :D

Akita was happy, as usual. She was happy because Autumn was one of her favorite seasons and it was finally here! Of course... all the seasons were Akita's favorite... She was like that. But she loved them all the same amount for different reasons. She loved Autumn for the change in color the leaves took on; for the cooler weather; for the rainstorms; and for the spiritualness of the season. After all, Autumn was the time when the barrier between the Living and the Dead was the lowest and most vulnerable. And it was the time of festivals and scary stories, too. She'd have to get together with someone and exchange scary stories some time. Wouldn't that be fun?

At the moment, she was digging out her second healer's den. This one was far away from the Oasis in the territory. She needed this den to stay dry on the inside, which means she needed it to be away from all the water. This is where she would keep all the herbs that needed to be dried before being used. It didn't have to be very big, just big enough to store things in and to stick half of her body into. It wasn't meant to be slept in.

After a time, she grew a bit tired and paused in her digging to take a break, hoping, perhaps, that someone might come along to talk to...
