Under the harsh heat, the three trudged on.

They had been sent away from their beloved home, Calm Crevice, after receiving a message from Echo the Fox to leave the area, since the Sharpwood Hunters were near. He didn’t tell them where to go, but far away. Paz had insisted that they went to Glimwood Tangle to get to its shade. “Ugh! This heat is ripping down my fur!” Exclaimed Podkin. “Well, if you listened to your lessons, you would know how to neutralize it! Maybe you should’ve listened to lesson 153 on Extreme Weather.” Said Paz tiredly. “I miss home.” Murmured Pook sadly.“It’s okay Pook, you are still with us.” Whispered Paz as she gave him a hug.

As soon as the location got into sight, Paz stated “It’s not too far off now.” “How do you know, Paz?” Questioned Podkin. “Because we can now see it.” Paz said, slightly annoyed. “Well, just because it’s in view doesn’t mean it is close! You can’t know it all.” Shouted Podkin. The group fell silent. Quietly, they cherished the quiet whilst walking closer. Midway, Pook started to turn and frown. “What’s the matter, Pook?” The two asked. “I miss, Calm Crevice.” He murmured, tears in his eyes. “It’s ok, we’ll find a better home, a fresh start.” Said Paz, confidently.

When they arrived, Podkin had dropped his bags and exclaimed “Shade! At last!”. They ran away and went further into the deep labyrinth of trees. They had made the decision to shelter in the center. Paz sung Pook to sleep, then the two had agreed to be nice at last. As Podkin drifted to slumber, his mind swirled into all the darkness of night. Finally, resting.
