There was a certain mysticism in the first steps on an adventure. Leafy felt confidence surge through her body even though her travel companion was a baby Felusine. She hadn’t bothered to take any weapons with her for a trip to the garden. After all, the garden was normally a safe place. And even if she had, Leafy didn’t have any formal weapons training at the moment. Usually, she could rely on her wits or her battle creatures to keep her safe. But now, she only had those wits about her.
“The first thing we ought to do is check for danger,” she told Kyoko. “If there’s some dangerous creature causing this fog, it would be best for us to avoid confronting them head on.”
It would be Kyoko’s first stealth mission and baby pets weren’t exactly well known for being the quietest. However, Kyoko was a lot smarter than a typical Felusine.

Leafy tried to trust her instincts as the drew nearer to the trees. She had seen no obvious signs of a monster present, but she couldn’t exactly be certain. There were many creatures that left no trace of their existence. And if they were dealing with a ghost, it would be even more impossible to track. When there were no obvious signs, she would have to trust her body to be alert enough to catch onto any signs imperceptible to her consciousness. People tended to have a sixth sense that could alert them to danger. Though of course, this sense could also be triggered falsely by things like anxiety and catastrophic thought. If you had doubts about a situation, you would begin to see signs that would support these thoughts even if there was nothing there. Leafy tried to keep herself level headed, but it was difficult at times. She and Kyoko continued onwards.

Kyoko watched Leafy attentively as the girl stopped to check for signs of monsters. The art of investigation seemed to appeal to her, quite like it did to her namesake. The girl liked to name some of her creatures after characters from stories if they reminded her of them. Sometimes the name fit and other times it didn’t. In this case, it appeared like a success.
“I don’t see anything out of place here, but that doesn’t mean that further on will be just as safe.”
Kyoko dipped her head in acknowledgement of her words. Leafy was unsure that the baby had understood her, but she knew the girl was expecting some sort of reaction from her. She showed Kyoko how to check for monster tracks. There were some bird tracks nearby, but they weren’t oversized or unusual. They looked like they’d come from one of the few remaining species of common bird.

Leafy squinted as she took in their surroundings. She wanted to head straight into the thick of the fog, so it would be best to find the direction where it grew the heaviest. She wasn’t very well versed in what constituted as heavy fog, but she could tell which areas were more difficult to see than others.
“Which area feels scariest to you?” she questioned Kyoko.
The Felusine tilted her head as she tried to make sense of the words spoken to her. She was the contemplative type, which was a useful quality. It ensured that the two of them would be a formidable team in the future. This would be a trial run.
Kyoko’s fur stood on end when she glanced towards her left. Leafy took that as a sign that something disturbing lurked that way. She leaned down and scooped up the baby Felusine. If they were to head that way, she would need to keep her safe.

They began to walking into the thick of it. Kyoko snuggled closer as the chill of the fog hit them. Investigating always had an inherent risk of danger, but Leafy felt as though they were relatively safe for the moment. A sudden rustling to their left broke that sense of security. The girl tightened her grip on the baby Felusine just a bit in order to keep her secure. Kyoko went dead silent and Leafy followed suit. Even the sounds of their breathing became nearly nonexistent. Startling the creature that made the noise was not ideal. She would simply need to wait for it to pass. She waited a few moments, frozen in place while the creature continued to rustle around in the bushes. The noise stopped suddenly, as though it had been cut off. Leafy crept over towards the bush, not wanting to make any sudden noise in case the creature was still around.

The creature had fled the bush, but it had left a few interesting plants that Leafy decided she ought to hold onto. She stashed them inside her backpack and then turned to check on the fog. It hadn’t changed, remaining heavy in the air. Kyoko sniffed at the air, as though trying to determine what the fog was exactly. Leafy didn’t think that fog had much of an odor, but the Felusine would figure that out quickly.
“There’s nothing much we can do except continue onwards,” she commented.
Kyoko squirmed so that her head was twisted to peer over Leafy’s shoulder. The girl felt slightly unnerved at the action, turning around herself to check that nothing was following them. The area behind them seemed void of any life. Kyoko was likely just wanting a different view. If there was anything alarming approaching from behind, she would be able to keep an eye out.

They travelled for a good while before the fog grew so thick that it was impossible to see any further. It was a peculiar spot to be in. She couldn’t even see her hand if she waved it right in front of her eyes. Kyoko snuggled in closer and Leafy adjusted her hold on the baby to accommodate.
“We won’t be able to see any monsters, so we’ll need to be extra careful to listen for them,” she told the Felusine.
Kyoko flicked her ears in acknowledgement of the words. Leafy appreciated when her pets listened to her. The garden itself had taken on a sinister look in the fog. She shivered in the absence of the sun. She shouldn’t be cold in the height of summer! The whole thing just seemed rather odd. If she could find the source of the fog soon and stop it, that would be ideal.

Leafy felt tingling in her fingertips. She knew this feeling, it was anticipation. Had she reached the area they were looking for? Kyoko squirmed, wanting to be put down. Leafy obliged even though instinct was telling her to keep the baby creature close. From her breeding, Kyoko would be well equipped to keep away anything dangerous, as long as it wasn’t too strong. She supposed that there was nothing about mysterious fog that indicated anything too powerful.
“Stick close to me,” she told the baby.
Again, Kyoko flicked her ears, acknowledging that she had heard the words spoken to her. Of course, that didn’t indicate that she had understood anything, but Leafy hoped that she had. She waited for a few moments, checking to make sure that nothing was about to jump out at them before continuing forward. It took them a few additional minutes before they found what they were looking for.

The moment that Leafy laid eyes on the strange building, she knew that the cause of the fog would be found within. The building itself was a simple, wooden shack. Kyoko was the first to approach it. Leafy felt concern flutter in her chest, but she knew she’d need to trust the baby Felusine. She was already smarter than most of her other pets and she wouldn’t remain a baby forever.
“Be careful!” she warned.
The Felusine yipped one before prodding at the front door. It opened with a low squeak that sent a chill down the girl’s spine. She approached all the same, trying to momentarily ignore the fear that gripped her. If Kyoko seemed fine with the situation, she was likely overreacting. She kept a close eye on the Felusine as the two of them stepped through the door. The shack was small, but Leafy felt there had to be more to it.

The wooden shack looked as though it had been untouched for at least a decade. A thick layer of dust covered every piece of furniture that lay within. Kyoko sneezed as she stuck her snout too close to a dust pile that had gathered underneath a small end table. It was difficult to see much of anything with the combination of the fog and the natural darkness of the shack.
“Stay alert,” she told Kyoko.
It wouldn’t do her much good if both of them were caught off guard by a sneak attack. She scanned the rest of the shack, trying to find anything of interest. Instinct told her that this was the right place to unlocking the mystery behind the fog. Now it was a simple matter of finding exactly what that was. She glanced down at Kyoko, trying to see if the baby Felusine was having better luck than she was.

It had been a while since Leafy had gone gardening. She felt a strange sense of foreboding prickling in her fingertips as she approached the familiar plot of land that she knew as her garden. She’d brought a small Faeron companion along with her, a tiny dragon that she had named Honeydew. She had recently acquired Honeydew and she thought the garden would be the perfect place to take her. “I promise that it is a strange and wonderful place,” she told the tiny creature. Honeydew looked up at her words, curiosity glittering in her gaze. She hadn’t known Leafy long enough to pick up any of her speech, but she enjoyed listening to her words all the same. Honeydew was quite different than her other Faeron. Her uniqueness was a blessing and made Leafy rather attached to her. The girl didn’t quite know where she wanted to start with her garden today.

Gardening was a bit like an art. Leafy didn’t consider herself particularly good at art, but she liked doing arts and crafts. Glitter was always fun to play around with and fingerpainting was the highest form of art one could master.
“Can you fingerpaint?” she asked Honeydew. “Do you even have fingers? Would they call it something else if you fingerpaint with claws?”
The questions raced through her mind, buzzing with energy. Honeydew fluttered through the air, eager to explore the new garden territory. The Faeron was small, but she was quite adept at flying. Leafy let her do her own thing for a while until she figured out what she wanted to do within her garden. She glanced around a bit dismayed to see that prior hard work had been halted by her sudden abandonment of the area. She felt bad for being away for so long. But it couldn’t be helped.
