In the Meadows

[Mistyfoot⚜]

Beautiful tall grasses blew in the wind as Thrushpaw took in the sweet scent around him. As he looked around, he saw no sign of life, not even a scent. There were no tracks and no dens. As he gathered his bearings, he realized that he had kept walking, and stopped directly in the middle of the field. He turned his head slowly, very slowly, as he examined the beautiful sanctuary. Trees surrounded him, and almost closed him in, except for one little gap from where he came in. He was alone. There was no one to guide him here. Only his own four paws.

Thrushpaw found a nice indent in the ground. It wasn't quite a hole, and it definitely wasn't flat land. It was the perfect place to make a den, and stay warm for the night. The sun was now high in the sky. The gray tom padded over to the other side of the clearing to check if his fresh kill from earlier was still there. Of course it was. There were no animals here to steal it, so Thrushpaw didn't have to worry. He decided that he should gather some feathers and such for his bedding. He would need it went it got dark and cold. He padded a little ways into the woods and already found a pine tree that had fallen down. He bit off a big branch drooping with pine needles. He dragged it back to his... camp. His home.

Thrushpaw was finally done with his den arrangements. He had moved his bird over by his den, and also caught a family of mice while he was out looking for bedding. He plopped down lazily, rested his head on his paws, and allowed himself to rest his eyes. This is where I belong.
