Today had been quite a lovely day. He'd gotten back from his travels with Crux and was taking a well-deserved break from his duties while he recuperated. The large, rotund male lay outside of his den. He was sprawled haphazardly on his back, mouth agape, tongue hanging out while he drooled and snored. He was dreaming about... well, sleeping. He was having a nice nap in his dream until he tasted something really sweet. Like honey. Or syrup... or...
His eyes popped open, brown blinking in the mild sunlight that filtered down through the reds of the trees. That wasn't just his dream.
He licked his lips, tasting something, or rather smelling it and having the distinct flavor of sweet. He rolled over onto his belly, head lifting as he looked around. It wasn't anything around here but he certainly wasn't imagining it. He inhaled deeply, mouth watering as he rose to his paws. There was no way he could go back to sleep now! He wanted to find out what that tantalizing scent was!
He looked around at the camp and found that there were others doing their normal routines. He didn't want to bother them if they hadn't noticed so he set off on his own in search of that wonderful aroma.
It took him outside of the bounds of the camp and the territory of Ichorwood. Clearly, the breeze had drifted just right so that he could smell the sweetness across the mountain heather. He was coming, lovely sweet aroma!
The smell took him all the way to a strange forest. Where the normal woods of his home had red leaves, this place had red sap! It was all over the place... on the trees. It was like they were bleeding!
Bleeding lovely sticky sap just for him to eat!
He was practically beside himself with joy as he didn't think twice of finding the nearest tree trunk to lick. He was no polite, well-mannered individual either. He licked up sap but managed to get it all over himself, looking quite a mess as the blood-red sticky liquid managed to get all over his face and chest. It was probably quite the macabre scene for someone that didn't know what was going on.
