Duskfire Glacier everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Veteran was glad that he wasn't mixed up in the fight for once, although it annoyed him that Wintersbane and Tzila weren't here to witness Makatza hulking out. It seemed like she always managed to avoid consequences because her parents were so busy. 

Ensio was pretty riled up himself, but Veteran knew he owed the other boy for keeping him out of harm's way. He'd have to thank Ensio later, when Coach Meekah was done patching him up. 

Coach Meekah tried to end the party, and Veteran protested. "Aw, nooo! Makatza ruins EVERYthing!" He scuffed a paw against the ground in disappointment. 

However, when his mom offered him the choice to stay a little longer he perked right back up. 

"Didja hear that, Siku? C'mon!" he said excitedly. He darted back to his pumpkin and wasted no time plunging his paw back into the hole. He started spill the guts out onto the ground, and he realized there were seeds-- tons and tons of seeds!-- buried in the squishy pulp. "Mom, seeds!" he shouted. His mom had taught him all about how plants were made. He then turned to Sikuliak. "Let's bury them, and then when they grow up there will be pumpkins here forever and ever!" Veteran then busied himself with digging holes and plopping pumpkin goo into the ground. 

This endeavor would keep him and Siku busy for the rest of the afternoon, wearing them both out thoroughly by the time the sun began to sink behind the glacier overhead.  

This post can be a fade for Veteran, Lane, Imaq, and Siku.
