Totoka River wading through the fog

one or more others welcome to join! :-) daytime, fog / misty

The temperature was mild today, and Charon had set off from Stavanger Bay to explore other bits of the lands. At the age of 4,5 months, Charon looked more like a slightly smaller version of an adult and less like a pup. He'd seen quite a bit of Ravensblood Forest and Horizon Ridge, as well as trailed around the shores close to the Bay, but today he ventured a little further. Unfortunately, a mist soon envelop Charon and everything around him. Since he was out exploring, the youth wasn't sure where to go or what was in front of him, and he felt a little scared to go on; but going back wasn't really an option either now that he had no idea what was behind him... Or if 'behind him' was 'going back' at all, to begin with.

Charon carefully walked on until he dipped his toes into the water. He lowered his nose to sniff the water, but to his surprise the water was sweet rather than salt, so he wasn't at the coast like he had expected. The sand he stood on felt firmer, too, not like the soft sand of the coast. Charon squinted his eyes and looked ahead. "Wow, this is a pretty big stream, Drake!" he told his imaginary Lauren friend, since all he could see was water because of the mist. Charon carefully took a few more steps deeper into the river, and he felt the stream tug at his ankles. From what he could see, the stream seemed shallow for a good while. Charon looked over his shoulder and shouted, "Hey, maybe I could practise swimming here sometime, 'cause it looks pretty uhm, not-so-deep."
