The Heartwood But Get Caught in the Middle

Etienne traveled from the Hollow. He would return quickly. He was just on the look out for any early herb growth to add to his stores. He wouldn't pick it yet. Just mark it to memory.

He came across a land that was dark and light. Flame and meadow. The tufts of ash that rise with each pawstep. It was both gritty and soft. Smelled good but also bad. Very to halves to a whole. It made his heart feel a little wretched. For he was seaborn and liced away from the sea. It was hard to have dual hearts.
