"I think I see a forest up ahead!" Marigold exclaimed, much to Rhuned's delight. He climbed up higher to the branch Marigold was at and squinted his eyes ahead. Sure enough, it seemed that they might reach the forest the very next day!
"Great! Hopefully we're one step closer to our clan," Rhuned replied, his heart aching a little from being home-sick. Marigold nodded eagerly.

After much effort, Selena finally picked out the best bush for hiding overnight in. She stuck her head into the bush to check if it was empty. Well, nope! Cocking her head, she looked curiously at the item.
A red cape? Yes, more specifically a crimson rogue cape. She snuggled herself under the cape happily. [i]Ooh, comfy![/i]
A clan that gathers a large quantity of these manes can influence the weather in their region for a short period of time.

The dragons were beyond thrilled to arrive at the forest, alas, just before sunset. The fields have been conquered! They expected the forest to be a more dangerous land, nevertheless, they all slept peacefully that night.
Its flared fins can be used to intimidate larger fish; pity this skill doesn't work on dragons.

Over the past few days, Selena grew and grew, larger and more muscular. In fact, today she turned into an adult! She was beyond the moon that she could finally join the Pinkerlocke army and fight against approaching beasts. Well, not that she was not doing so before.
[size=1]Note: Marigold died today, but for the story's sake he's still alive. But he'll be sent out of my clan today.[/size]

Instead of being filled with water, Ashfall Pricklers contain a spicy sauce that goes well with anything. Weird.

Throughout the day Marigold's thoughts whirled around his clan. [i]How are they doing now? Are they in danger?
How did they even get blown away? And why is their location marked outside the map??
Could this map really be trusted? How would the clan know where they were if their location was totally unknown? After all, who would be so dumb to trust a raven...[/i]

This gleaming black spider is undeterred by even the harshest heat. Swarms are frequently seen crawling in and out of smoldering trees or shrubs.

Days passed and the Pinkerlocke army were still on their journey. Marigold grew more and more uneasy and doubtful. Once night fell, he took out the map and inspected it once again. [i]Hmm, the handwriting does look familiar...[/i]
"Hey Marigold, I think we've been thinking the same thing. Could you read out the letter again? Maybe we're missing something?" Rhuned asked.
But Marigold simply put the letter aside. "Tomorrow, before we set off. My eyes are tired from squinting at the tiny words," he replied, lying down to sleep.

Hopping mice live in colonies. Lair infestations are fairly easy to detect when compared with common mice; just listen for the thumping!
