'I wonder what aweso farm animal I will be able to find in here,' lting Snow thought happily as he used his Sonic Run skill to speed through the wooded area of Drifting Cloud's farm.
That excitent only lasted so long, though, because there was nothing else to be seen after minutes of running apart from a charred landscape. The only thing around lting Snow was scorched trees, rocks, and grass, which wasn't very appealing to look at.
He must have been running for a while because without noticing his stamina beca depleted, this caused his Sonic Run skill to end prematurely. He thought about chugging down a Stamina potion but decided against it and let it refill slowly on its own.
Now that he was slowed to walking speed, he could really see everything around him in more detail. What really stood out to him was the ground, it looked strange, he wondered why he didn't notice it before.
Well, he knew why he didn't, it was really dark when they first arrived and when it beca dayti, there were other more important things for him to care about than paying attention to the ground. But as he looked at it now, he beca extrely interested in it, because of how odd it was.
It wasn't odd in so crazy way, it was just that the land was totally blackened. lting Snow thought it looked like one of those aftermath pictures of those ancient volcano eruptions that he saw when he was browsing the net that one ti he was bored.
He rembered reading about how the ground would turn super hard afterward and was suddenly overwheld with curiosity. 'Would it feel the sa way?'
As soon as the thought went through his head, he knew that he had to find out. Stopping in his tracks, lting Snow squatted down and gave the dirt a quick poke, only to be surprised by how it felt. Using his fingers, he played with it for a bit before gathering so in his hand.
It wasn't hard like a rock as he thought it would be; instead, it felt coarse and kind of brittle. The feeling of it between his fingers was strange to him, the texture was completely different from what he was used to.
Giving in to another weird urge of his, he lifted the handful of dirt to his nose and gave it a quick sniff. When the aroma of it fully hit him, lting Snow knew that if he could, he would have gagged because the sll it gave off was genuinely horrible.
'Oh my goodness! Why does this stuff sll so putrid,' he thought to himself as he tossed the dirt far away from his body.
Jumping to his feet, lting Snow began wiping the excess dirt off his hands and onto his pants, wrinkling his nose at the sll that was still perating around him.
He really wanted to get the scent out of his nose. Although he couldn't clearly describe what it slt like, it was still terrible. And it was sothing that he didn't want to try actively sniffing again. Seeing that his stamina was filled back up, he once again activated his skill, hoping that the wind would clear the sll from his nostrils.
It was only after running a couple more minutes that the sll was gone, and he finally saw sothing different apart from the burnt landscape that had been a constant for a while now. Instead of the charred wood, he was getting used to, he could see so actual green. Although not a lot, it seed that so specks of life actually survived.
"This is promising," lting Snow muttered to himself, quickly deactivating his skill. He ca to a halt in front of two rows of trees that had been entirely untouched by the fire. "It seems the fire didn't get the whole entire farm."
As he inspected the trees, lting Snow noticed that sothing was dangling from them. Getting a closer look, he could tell that it was so sort of fruit, but had no idea what kind they were.
'If Drifting Cloud was here, he would know,' lting Snow thought, before plucking one of the round hairy fruits off the tree and stashing it into his inventory. He knew that the green-haired man would be happy to learn that so produce survived the fire.
Opening his interface, the furry-eared boy decided that it would be best to note everything he finds and their coordinates. That way, when he goes back to give Drifting Cloud the report of everything he saw, the man would know exactly where to look later on.
'I always knew I was a smart cookie.' lting Snow smirked while ntally patting himself on the back at his brilliant idea.
After he finished writing down the fruit tree coordinates, lting Snow once more activated his skill and started running straight ahead. However, it only took re seconds before he almost hit a mountain wall.
Hurriedly he canceled his skill, realizing he had run to the end of Drifting Cloud's property. Looking around, he observed that besides the mountain that seed to surround the farmland, there was also a small stream that was on the land.
After looking at it closer, lting Snow saw that the waterway was only 3-4inches in width and only about 6-7 inches deep. He could only huff at the re idea of labeling it a stream.
At most, it could be called a slightly significant trickle of water. Chuckling, lting Snow shook his head while thinking, 'I guess Drifting Cloud wasn't lucky enough to have his own personal fishing spot on his farm.'
"Or maybe he will," lting Snow said when he realized that the trickle of water had to be coming from sowhere.
Following the stream, the boy began to imagine where it would lead him to. For so reason, he kept picturing a misty pond with so unknown animal living in it. Knowing Drifting Cloud, as he did, he was quite sure that it could happen.
It wasn't long, only about ten minutes had passed until he reached the place where the water ca from. From what lting Snow could tell the water was coming out a small hole from the side of a mountain.
lting Snow had a feeling that there might be sothing special on the other side of that rock wall. This was Drifting Cloud's property after all, and just like the green-haired man, the things he owns are always just as interesting.
Walking up to the mountainside, the boy decided to make the hole bigger to peer inside. He was hoping that he would be able to discover sothing aweso, like iron or gold.
Feeling excited at the notion of discovering sothing like that, lting Snow quickly took out his swords. Stepping back a bit, he activated one of his many sword attacks and aid it at the hole.
However, the attack was too powerful and shattered all the nearby rocks into pieces. It was only after the dust settled that lting Snow realized that he mistakenly created an entrance to a hidden cave on his friend's property.
"I just knew I wouldn't be let down," sniggered lting Snow as he stared into the newly discovered cavern's darkness that seed to go on forever.
