Tracking Again
We be on a tracking expedition! Me, Dedrθ, and Vervan are the only ones going, Phyronia wanted to go but her mom wouldn't let her. =(
Right now we're taking a breather, we left at daybreak and it is a little after noon now. We've been walking the whole time but we're used to it so our legs aren't bothering us. Chap, Vervan's tooklas, is coming along with us. A Tooklas (too-kh-lahs) is like a dog, but much heavier built, more like a bear, and is about three and a half feet tall. They have retractable claws like a cat's and have stubby tails and short hair. They act like dogs though, wagging their tails when they're happy, panting when hot, and barking. Chap is a sweet Tooklas, he lets little children ride on his back and adores being cuddled. Not all Tooklas are as friendly as he.
It is pretty quiet right now, there are a few parrots yelling but nothing interesting. Parrots are always yelling, a leaf falls and they'll scold it for half the morning. We have reason to believe we're on the right track, we're following a herd of Dikdik, and once or twice a shadow has gone over us. When we look there is nothing there but Griffon are the masters of hiding themselves. We are in the woods of course, Dikdik rarely feed out in the plains because of the fear of hunters.
Well, Vervan is looking impatient to be off so I'm going to let off writing. I'll try to give you an update as soon as possible, as long as some rain doesn't blow up and wet my scroll. |

Yes, I finally saw a griffian. I was working in the garden with the royal gardener when it passed over head. All I could do was stare at it with open month! It had all Hemlock talking for weeks!
