Description

The forests usual clear skys seemed to be dulled by very dark clouds, there was a minor breeze only able to gentle push tree leaves back and forth. Slinking through the massive trunks of weeping trees was a dragon with burgundy skin and grey fluffy fur, he seemed focused on a task, his orange eyes scan the forest floor, Whilt was looking for a specific herb, the tribe elders were adamant that the rain coming would be more than a spring shower. This herb was very delicate and heavy rain would surely ruin any good cuts. As he carefully made his way through the forest leaving only footsteps in the mulchy floor. He comes to a stop when he spots small footprints, they were not left by just any animal, they may be small but Whilt knows what a Reepul's print looks like. Worried it could be a lost chick he follows the steps as best he can. They were difficult to follow, they crossed fallen logs and slipped between trunks to tight together for Whilt's massive body to get through.

Whilt became aware of cold drops of water landing on his snout, they started as soft small drops but gained speed and size with rapid pace. He began to feel the weight of his own fur as it gathered water, feeling rather damp he finds a massive tipped willow tree to shelter under, he just fits under the old tree, looking out into the forest he found himself surprised by the amount of water already gathering on the ground, the elders were not kidding. As he watched the water flow down the tree he became aware of breathing near him, looking down he is greeted with a small blue hairless Reepul. " s'bad weather like, lot o water for a forest ta handle." the blue creature said laying down beside Whilt. " its just the summer rains arriving I'm sure it will finish soon " Whilt responded, this was a Reepul known as a toy, he'd heard about them from the trader who comes to the tribe sometimes. " you seem pretty sure o that, I know water and there is to much " Whilt looks back to his forest, the smaller puddles began to grow bigger covering more and more of the ground " your not from here are you?"

The little Reepul shakes his head " No live ma life by the ocean, rain like this s'pretty safe near the water can't flood the ocean" Whilt gave him a worried look " should I be worried ? " he asked quietly. " A big lug like you, nah, not gonna make moving around in this forest much fun though, bit o a swamp for a while" Whilt nodded as the pair sat watching the rain from their shelter, water rising still whilt wondered what they would do if the rain reached them.
