SHORT STORY by AthenaCykes
Margaret was running across the sandy jungle floor, along with the tokotas she’d brought with her that day. She initially been riding Dama, but once the leafy covering became so thick that her head was scratching along the top, she jumped off of the tallest dire girl’s back, switching to the shorter Rhys. However, as they walked deeper and deeper into the leafy jungle, she found her head scraping across the top of the canopy once again, and decided she had to go on foot. Today, they were looking for a special flower. Eren and Kida were sniffing the ground for a type of flower that Margaret had heard was in season right now, and it was used to make certain herbal remedies, so it was worth a lot to the right buyer. Poseidon’s sharp eyes scanned the ground for the red petals Margaret had showed him before, and together they were on the hunt! For a flower that is, not for prey. So for once, they didn’t have to be quiet while they hunted it, While they did have to take their time as they tried to smell it out or simply glance upon it, they could be as noisy and stompy and as not quiet as they wanted. Rhys was probably the loudest of them all, stomping around after every bug he saw that looked like it might make a nice treat, and barking at birds he saw in the trees. He behavior was clearly annoying Poseidon, who had a furrowed brow and would shake his head and silky, lilac mane as he heard the much younger tokota fool around. His head we held low as his eyes danced along the ground, stopping to investigate every time he found a flash of red. So far, he’d found some kind of red stone, which Margaret had taken, a red frog who’d leapt away the second the tokota’s nose had touched it’s back as it hid under a pile of leaves, two different butterflies, and just now, a flower! His breast swelled with excitement as he called the others over, as they’d spread out to cover more ground in this dense and vast jungle. As Margaret rushed over, followed closely by Dama, Eren, and Kidda, as they all rushed up to see this meal ticket of a flower. But disappointment filled everyone’s eyes when Margaret shook her head. It was a fairly similar looking flower, but she’d done a lot of research before heading out into the difficult climate that is the jungle, and now, she knew her shit. It barely took more than a glance to tell they were different, but she definitely could. And she gave it far more than a glance, just to be sure, of course. She pulled out the picture of it she had, but hearts sank when they saw it. While the color was quite close and the petals were of similar shapes, they were clearly different. They all spread back out and began to continue moving. As Kidda bounced along, sniffing here and there, sticking her nose under every rock and leaf she found, she smiled. She was in a good mood, and happy to be out here, today, with nice tokotas and a nice handler, looking for something fun! And she maintained that sentiment for all of about twenty seconds until she excitedly stuck her nose down the wrong hole, and not just any wrong hole, but the hole of an angry mongoose. As she ran up to Margaret with an angry critter clinging to her nose with it’s razor sharp teeth, Margaret simply pulled it off, hurling it into the forest before she took a rag to wipe the girl’s nose down with. “Oh, poor sweetie” She said as Eren, Rhys, and Dama looked on. Once her cries had settled down into a look of general unease and pawing at her nose that Margaret had to constantly stop, they continued on, though it would be easy to notice the change in Kidda’s attitude. As Dama walked, she kept her head held high despite the fact that it was tickling the bottoms of the trees. She was trying to use her height as an advantage to be able to see things much farther away than many other members of the group- she was in the lead and the one deciding where they would based on what she could see through the thick barrier that was the trees. She was also using her formidable strength the get brambles and branches and other things out of the way for the rest of the group. But as she made the final turn, it was Eren’s time to bark, as the Melanistic boy cried out to bring the rest of the group to him. Margaret’s eyes lit up when she was it, but she pulled out her picture just to make sure- it was a perfect match, they’d found it! As she gently wrapped the flower up in a cloth and placed it in her bag, she and the other tokotas all began to make their way home through the thick, dense jungle.
