The journey did not take much longer with the tiny Popinjay in tote. Lethy had always taken her travels slow since the plague had taken it's toll on her body. She wasn't sick anymore but it had left her tired. She had always thought that she had taken things to quickly when she was pregnant with her daughter and that is why she had lost her, so as her belly grew this time - and she was surely ready to deliver soon - she took things even more slowly. She did not want to lose this child.
She watched with amusement as they came up to the river. She watched carefully her mother instincts rising to the top ready to step in if Popinjay chose to take on the river with all of her spontaneity. She was pleased to watch her work out how to cross the river, guiding but never over leading at they made their way up stream to the shallows. She laughed as she watched Popinjay play, even joining in for a moment splashing her with water. It was cold as winter had made it's way to Beqanna, but the coldness was a relief against her aching muscles and sweat dappled hide.
As the entered Loess and Popinjay took of Lethy inhaled the fresh air. Her mind wandered to Aten wondering if he would accept Popinjay and how he would react to her adopting so close to having her own, neither one being his. She took in the landscape as Popinjay explored. She remembered her first time in this land with Lepis, who now lead Taiga with her mate Wolfbane. A mixture of emotions swam through her as they passed the large salt lake she was visiting when the plague had hit her. She tried to tell Popinjay of her adventures but she was still salty from the tumble she took earlier. Lethy ruffled her forelock with her lips and told her it happens to the best of them.
They finally broke the border of Taiga. Large redwoods opened up before them. The snow covered the ground but thinly. Come on, I will show you the berry Bush. A sweet treat for a sweet girl. they moved along the border winding through the large trees. She knew the path as if it had always been her home. It didn't take long before they were on the border of Tephra and Taiga. The snow was almost non existent. Tephra's jungle heat kept this part of Taiga alive during the winter's months. Soon they were upon the berry bush. They grew in clusters in this specific area, most likely because of the large break in trees above them where the sun could touch them for the majority of the day
Though they were scattered through the forest in warmer months, Lethy liked coming here. She took a couple of the deep blue berry's in her mouth savoring the sweet, tart flavor as they went down. The gold of her mouth stained purple as she turned to Popinjay. This is my secret spot. Don't tell anyone. she winked as she watched her try the sweet treat.
