Excitement coursed through every fur on Flame's body. She longed for this kind of adventure. Though it may have seemed that the jackal was distracted, stopping to investigate every plant and climb every mushroom along their pat, Flame was actually paying close attention to every detail for any clues that might help them on their journey.
She started to fall behind when she heard the monarch's call to stay close. Swiftly, her moth wings fluttered her over to where Gabriel and Linnaeus were. "Do you think it could be in this forest?" she asked curiously. So far, she had seen no signs of a giant beast being present, but the lands were vast, and she was determined to keep looking.
Inevitably, the jackal became distracted again just minutes after catching up with the pair. This time, a gentle caw caught her attention. The sound of the breeze rustling the brush could easily overpower it, but Flame was intent on finding the source of the call. Finally, her gaze landed on a crow resting on a tree branch. "Hey there," she said softly, slowly fluttering her way toward the creature. "Have you seen any suspicious beasts around here?" The crow gave her a hard, blank stare before spreading its wings and taking off into the sky. She watched as its dark silhouette disappeared beyond the tallest mushrooms. Strange… perhaps it wanted her to follow it?
It was then she realized she was falling behind again. Her attention shot back to the group she was supposed to stay close to. "Wait for me!" she shouted before catching up with them once more.
