Moonspear angagixta ☘

Moonspear was a new world for Toad, who had taken to the mountain rather quickly. Jarilo had shown her parts of the forests at the territory's base; this was prime hunting territory. While she knew the names of many of her new family members, face to face contact had been minimal at best. Her primary objective would be to prove to Jarilo and the others that he had been right to allow her access to the mountain. She must show them her capabilities.

An equally important priority of the day was to find and greet Kukutux whose voice of wisdom had led her down this path. Jarilo had been kind enough to point to the general direction that he and his wife had built their den. Toad steadily loped toward it, hoping that scent would guide her to where her friend might be hidden.

When she found the site, there were dried skins unceremoniously thrown a distance away. Toad sniffed at old bedding and realized that a late summer cleaning spree had insired the mother.

A stranger stood not far from her, sounding their own greeting. Kukutux, she greeted with a broad smile, her tail waving low as she moved close to the ivory lady of the mountain. She looked at the stranger, comforted some by their pleasant tone of voice. Meerkat, did you say? The newcomer seemed equally pleased to be there. I'm Toad, she said, her smile never fading. What a lucky happenstance that she would get to meet someone new as well.
