pre-dated 1st July, early morning 422 words
The morning of their first day in Ichika had seen the residents scatter in all directions to explore the lands and find places to stay. Nearly a years worth of rising before dawn to bathe and run saw Saul one of the first to rise and his stirrings had awoken the little girl who was growing bigger by the day. She didnt usually wake so early- her room had been on the lower floor of the cabin and she'd been tucked in bed at the time Saul had exited the cabin. So the pale female hadn't really known the extent of her guardian's deeply ingrained routine. But the pre-dawn darkness had seen them both rise from the joined furs they had lain, careful not to wake the sleeping form of his brother and his almost grown children where they had claimed the other half of the furs. They must look like such an odd family- Saul and Siku and Wretch, with Gideon, Range and Melee. The six of them were nothing alike, thrown together with different surnames but working together to make sure they stayed close. That was what Razekial and Nayru had set out to create here- a family where surnames didnt matter and a sense of care for all was created. And who knew, maybe they would achieve it here. It would take time though and the black and white fairy would have to be prepared for tensions to explode at some point in time, at the very least.
He'd asked Wretch to stay and guard their belongings while Saul sought some running water, washing away the journey that had taken them far from home. His fur fluffed he'd made a quick circuit of their sleeping party of travellers, a very short and unsatisfactory run for the male who was used to running the entirety of the Dahlian borders in a few hours. Still, Wretch was up and waiting and she seemed to want to go and explore today. So he returned, swiped a lick across Siku's forehead before he nuzzled his ward and they set off on all four paws. They would go out into the Ichikan territory, find out what they could about the land, perhaps even find somewhere to sleep properly for tonight, and come back to report to the white furred, golden eyed female and his brother and family. Hopefully, they would be able to find somewhere large enough for them all- Saul wanted his brother, niece and nephew close in these strange and unchartered waters.
