Oct 2021 Quest [Pikewarren]

As had been typical for the past few weeks, Pikewarren was out collecting herbs with a small escort of guildmates, intent on protecting their Keeper should any stray bobcats cross their path.

Although beyond thankful for the opportunity to continue stocking up, having heard Tatterwings and others discuss the unseasonably warm temperatures, he couldn't help feeling worried by it. What could it mean for the Estuary? He knew the same had happened to the Trinity Warren when he was a kitten, but, surely that hadn't been related to the tragedy that befell them only months later... Obsessing over such speculations wouldn't accomplish anything. As much as he wanted to do something about it - prayed for the ability to just, see the future, control the weather, anything at all that might make a difference - the reality was that he didn't have that kind of power. So instead he poured all his focus into doing what he could do. Summer had been his time to perfect his training; now was the time to ensure their previous herb shortage would never, ever happen again.

Oct 2021 Quest [Palila]

Another day, another several hours slogging through the woods to "build up endurance" or whatever. While technically preferable to having to run laps or stumble through a sparring match or fail to catch even the world's deafest prey, Palila longed for the comforts of his warm nest back home. He had no reason to be out here, really, as far as he was concerned. It wasn't like their borders really needed one extra pair of eyes on it, and even if they did, what could he do about a threat if one did deign to rear its ugly head? Nothing, that's what.

...Maybe they shouldn't be sending him out alone so much.

Palila's somewhat miserable train of thought halted suddenly when his paw landed in an unexpectedly deep dip in the ground. Stepping back, he was shocked to realize it was a paw print; signifying the presence of a massive feline, at that. What in the name of bird kind could have left such an imprint?? He stared for a long moment, unsure of what to do next.

Eventually, after much deliberation, he came to the conclusion to simply go to his mother and inform her of the tracks after his "patrol" was complete. He didn't want anyone to yell at him for cutting it short just to report something that was probably nothing, after all. With a shrug, decision made, he continued on his way and left his worries over the strange sight well behind him. Someone better equipped could handle it later.

As he went, however, he failed to notice the curious scent on the wind, nor the piercing yellow eyes that watched him as he went from the shadows.

Weathering the cold alone once again, Laz mulls over Lindenhaze's words; it's about time he made a decision on whether to stay in the Estuary or not. Maybe one of those Seers would be willing to give him a chance at joining their guild?
