Long, Green Meadows

On the opposing side of the river, is a lush green field, complete with soft velvety grasses and colorful wildflowers. The meadow rolls with small hills and mounds, popping up here and there. Large gray rocks decorate the ground, poking up through the topsoil, suggesting that a cave is somewhere beneath; though an opening has yet to be discovered.

Small ground-dwelling mammals, such as mice, rabbits, and shrew, inhabit the rolling green; making a quick snack for any by-passer who has an urge to eat. Of course, one would have to be a slick loner to get by and steal from Tak. He doesn’t much appreciate thieves, you know.

Aside from those facts, very few trees hold the ground together, making the land vulnerable to sliding during large rainstorms. And, since the field lacks trees, it’s a good idea to travel at dawn or dusk, if you plan on coming out here during the summer months. When the sun is high, it can get well beyond hot.
