It had been a really stupid move to wander on down to the beach today, as it turned out. Sure, the storm clouds had been looming up above them for the past two days, growing darker and more ominous in appearance. That hadn’t deterred the Acidic boy, however, as he was determined to do a little seaside meditation that morning. And sure, it had started out well enough. Thundering up above and a wind that stirred up the salty waters of the ocean had been only a minor distraction to the youth, who tuned out the sounds easily enough. The clouds couldn’t hold the rains back for long, though, and the lands were soon subjected to a downpour. Begrudgingly, the boy was forced to turn tail and head back home for shelter from the rain.
Some of the dense parts of the forest provided slight cover for the hybrid boy as he travelled back home, but all in all, he was soaked through by the time he got to the caverns. He shook the excess moisture from his fur as he stepped through the entrance to the caverns. Jackson made for his family’s den with a quick pace, but found their caves empty and their fire long extinguished. He sighed and dropped by his room to retrieve a blanket to drape over his wet frame. He could build up his fire here, or see if one was still going strong in one of the larger communal caves… An easy choice for the boy.
He hurried through the familiar hallways of the Anatheman labyrinth, arriving quickly in the large dining hall. What he saw there pleased him—a couple of packmates sitting around a blessedly blazing fire. Less work for Jackson then, brilliant! The young firestarter headed toward them without hesitation, sitting down with his legs crossed on the opposite side of the fire from the couple. Another pair of unfamiliar faces, but that would be easy enough to change. The wet boy grinned at them from across the blaze. “Hope the two of yas don’t mind if I share the fire here. One hell of a storm out there, ya know?” He pulled the old blanket tighter around his shoulders.
