Wapun Meadow Remember not to forget

@Arlette - thread title inspired by Audiomachine song of the same name.

Sleepy Fox Hollow and the surrounding mountainous areas did not offer much diversity in terms of plants. Elfie had found more patches of moss that were the sole green things in the area, but he had come to a conclusion that Mahler did not need a den full of the soft, blood-soaking stuff, if there were no injured people around. He therefore memorized, where the useful herbs could be found and hid them under the snow again.

With Maegi not in the immediate vicinity, Elfie decided to take matters in his own capable paws and explore the lands that lied at the foot of the mountains. There was a narrow, winding path trodden by diasporan wolves that led downwards and just to be sure that he would find his way back home again, the boy left scent marks every now and then. He first arrived at a dark forest, but not feeling very comfortable with the narrow field of view, he walked through it and arrived in a wide open field that was Wapun meadow. 

It was warmer in the valley than it was in the mountains and snow had thawed the previous day, revealing patches of yellowing grass and frost-blackened stalks. Intrigued by the discovery, the boy drew closer and began to meticulously inspect the patch in hopes of finding something useful for Maegi and Mahler.
