  4. This isn't based off any specific challenge, it's just a mash of bits and pieces of things. - Fern, a bright green-furred nicheling, didn’t bother to raise her tail feathers as her mate and other royal Mulch, a red-furred nicheling with lighter markings, held his tail up high for the other members of the group to follow as he bounded through the tall grass. Technically the small group was an attempt to forge a new kingdom but Fern didn’t really feel as if four nicheling counted as a true kingdom, she just hoped they would find some wanderers soon. The feeling of grass smacking her in the snout caused her nose to scrunch as her mind returned to the present with her mate excitedly going on about the new island they’d just landed on. “-not to mention that I don’t smell a single carnivore here!” Fern realized she had only caught the tail-end of that rambling as she heard Mulch stop speaking afterwards. “Maybe, but just because ya can’t smell ‘em doesn’t mean they don’t exist” Bandit, a black-furred nicheling with a bill and fluffy tail, said with a small sense of exasperation at the optimism and carelessness of the royal. She much preferred Mulch over Fern but she still wished that Mulch would show a little more caution sometimes. “Relax captain, if there was something dangerous here at least one of us would’ve noticed it” Fern spoke with her usual soft and relaxed tone as she found a bit of amusement at how wound up Bandit tended to be. “I have to admit that I thought you would be a bit more wary with a pup and the heir to the kingdom on the way” All the nicheling’s attention snapped to Silver, a silver-furred nicheling with quills, as he spoke considering that he had been silent for most of the trip. “Well you said it yourself, stress would be bad for the pup right?” Fern replied, making Silver release a soft sigh. “Yes but it’s not good to just ignore potential dangers or else neither of you will survive” Silver warned in an attempt to get the pregnant nicheling to heed his words. Fern barked out a laugh at the Healer’s warning “Please, it’s not like a carnivore can just appear out of thin air so I’ll be fine” she said with an amused smile much to Silver’s chagrin. “Maybe not but a bit of extra caution would do a world of good” Silver advised as the group continued making their way through the unexplored island which only got him a waved paw in response. “I’m not gonna ignore any signs of danger but I won’t put any unneeded stress onto myself either” Silver just gave up as he heard Fern’s words as he realized that she wouldn’t be listening to his advice. A comfortable silence stretched between the group as they surveyed their surroundings and continued forward until Mulch broke it. “Hope we can find a good place to s-” He tripped over his words causing him to give a small shake of his head before trying again “Hope we can find a good place to settle soon, we’ve been walking forever and I wanna make sure my wonderful mate gets her rest” Mulch gently pressed his side against Fern’s as he said the last part of the sentence earning him a soft smile and playful eye-roll from her at his affectionate nature while Bandit’s nose twitched at the sappy display. “You two could take a rest while I go scout out more of the island” Bandit offered as she shook her paw to try and dislodge the thorn in her paw from ripping out a patch of thorns on the way. “That would be good” Fern instantly sat down, thankful for the chance to rest her paws. “Do you want me to come with you?” Silver asked as he came up to Bandit’s side with a glance towards Bandit’s paw. “No, I’d rather you stay here both in case something dangerous appears here and so if I find something dangerous I’ll be the only one hurt” Bandit replied as she lifted her paw towards Silver who quickly used his claws to pull the thorn out. “Well don’t just sacrifice yourself if you find danger, these two are perfectly capable of fighting” Fern spoke from her spot now laying in the grass making the Captain turn around to respond. “I’m not leading something dangerous here to hurt the rest of you when I could give you a chance to survive” Bandit argued as she stared at the Royal. “Well losing a nicheling when our kingdom barely counts as one wouldn’t do any good either” Fern remarked with a twitch of her eye. “I can’t just let the unknown be unexplored when we’re relaxing like sitting dodomingos” Bandit reasoned with a twitch of her ear causing Fern to close her eyes and take a deep breath. “Fine, I can’t stop you” Bandit turned around to leave “But!” the words caused the Captain to freeze with agitation prickling up her pelt “You’re going to take Silver with you so you’re not alone” Fern opened her eyes and stared at Bandit. “But what about you two?” Bandit asked as she turned her head to look at the two Royals. “Mulch can fight and just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I’m defenseless” Fern said as she tilted her head to show off her horns making Bandit open her mouth before closing it again. “Alrighty than” She caved as she realized this wasn’t a battle she could win. “Let’s go” She said to Silver before walking into the grass making Silver glance at Fern and Mulch, with Fern giving a ‘go on’ nod, before following after Bandit. “Can we stop for a moment?” Silver’s voice cut through Bandit’s thoughts and tunnel vision. “Why?” Bandit asked considering she would rather finish this task quickly and efficiently. “It’d be good to start gathering herbs even if we haven’t found a permanent spot” Silver replied as he approached a toxic berry bush making Bandit’s ears shoot up. “Should you really get herbs from a toxic berry bush?” Bandit stepped in front of the Healer. “Certain parts of it are not only safe but helpful” Silver side-stepped Bandit and got close enough to pluck a leaf from the bush “for example these are actually good for healing some sicknesses” he spoke as he plucked a few more and gently laid them on a small pile before using his paws to dig into the dirt. “And this” He held up a small chunk of roots “can be used to make a nicheling throw up if they get something toxic in their system” he explained as he placed it with the pile of leaves. Bandit gave a hum of acknowledgment at the explanation. “...Could you lend me a paw? I grabbed too many” Silver spoke after noticing the amount of leaves and roots he’d grabbed. “Sure” Bandit said as she picked up some leaves and roots making Silver do the same before continuing on their check of the area. A scent hit Silver’s nose causing him to pause and sniff the air causing Bandit to run into him before jumping back. Seeing as she couldn’t talk considering the leaves dangling from her jaws she just stared at Silver with confusion. Silver noiselessly walked forward leaving Bandit to follow with tensed muscles. Bandit almost inhaled the leaves she was holding as she saw the scene in front of her. Fern was laying in a make-shift nest that looked like it was only held together by dreams and desperation, and some grass. But the surprising part was the two tiny bundles of fur next to her which Mulch was currently grooming. Silver rushed over to Fern’s side causing Mulch to startle before giving the Healer some space. “Are you feeling okay?” Silver asked as he made sure there was no blood before sniffing the newborn pups for any sign of sickness or injury. “I’m exhausted and still have some pain” Fern answered with a yawn as she struggled to keep her eyes open. “Is the pain severe? Mild? Moderate?” Silver launched the questions as he took a step back after noticing no signs of injury. “It’s not severe, maybe a mix of mild and moderate?” Fern said as another yawn escaped her making Silver wince in sympathy. “As long as you’re not in severe pain we can talk more later after you get some rest” He said making Fern nod before laying her head down and immediately falling asleep. “Do they have names yet?” Silver asked as he turned his attention towards Mulch causing him to glance over at the Healer. “Yeah, the purple one is named Nightshade and the other one is Dust” Mulch replied as he looked at his newborn pups with pure love in his eyes. “They’re good names, and they seem healthy to me” Silver replied as he let out a sigh of relief. “I knew you should’ve stayed here, I didn’t even consider the possibility of Fern giving birth while we were gone” Bandit said after placing the leaves on the ground. “You couldn’t have predicated when she’d give birth, it was actually a bit earlier than I expected” Silver replied but then spoke again before Bandit could reply “Come help me find a spot to put these since we’re gonna stay for a little bit” Silver picked up some of the leaves and roots before walking into the grass. Bandit’s nose scrunched in annoyance but she did as she was asked and followed the Healer. Silver paused to start clearing some grass in an area that was close enough to the other two to be nearby but far enough to have a private conversation. Bandit helped clear grass though her annoyance was still heavily present. Silver then placed the herbs he was holding on the ground and gestured for Bandit to do the same. “Well why did you want my help with this? I doubt it was just for this” Bandit spoke after placing her own herbs onto the ground. “Because you’re stressing yourself out with things you can’t control” Silver spoke “Like with Fern giving birth, you couldn’t have known that would happen and beating yourself up over it won’t change the past” he continued before Bandit could get a word in causing her to scoff. “Well I can’t afford to make these types of mistakes, Fern being fine is just dumb luck” Bandit’s tail lashed behind her “It was important to have a Healer if something went wrong, but because I had to take you with me Fern had to give birth without one and it’s my fault” she looked away with narrowed eyes. “I can appreciate taking responsibility for your actions but let me repeat my words, you can’t predict these things” Silver put emphasis on all five of those last words with the hope it would get through Bandit’s thick skull. “But I could’ve realized there was a chance of that happening and prevented the situation from arising in the first place” Bandit insisted making Silver look at the clouds as if they could give him an answer to the other nicheling’s stubbornness. “There is no way for a nicheling to consider every single possibility all the time and you shouldn’t expect yourself to uphold such standards, you’re just gonna burn yourself out or get yourself killed with that mentality” Silver rebutted with a stare. “Well-” Silver cut off Bandit’s words immediately “No, at least begin to accept that you can’t predict every possible scenario” he said making Bandit’s face scrunch though she didn’t continue arguing. “Can we just finish doing what we’re doing?’ Bandit asked as she glanced at the herbs. “Fine” Silver relented and focused on trying to make a make-shift Healer’s den to keep the herbs in.

  13. That's sounds awful, I feel so bad for you. Hopefully the days will pass quickly enough. Maybe you could try and stay in the tent to avoid some of the outdoor activities?

  14. Also I think that's it for me with artfight :'). My drawing process takes me quite a bit, and I tend not to like drawing animals as much as humans. Unfortunately for me, a lot of the characters of people on the forums are animals, so yk. Anyway it was fun, I might do it next year!!! :D. Attack for savya (pale)

  18. And before you ask, yes, I did tell my dad about how I didn’t want to. He just asked “well what do WANT to do,” and the thing is I don’t want to do anything, so I said I didn’t know and he just kind of. Kept asking. Only thing I ever really want to do is all my indoor hobbies like art, writing, gaming ect, but if I said that he would get mad and say that standard old people thing of “stop being glued to screens and go outside”

  19. So we’re (we as in my family) supposed to be going on a trip tomorrow that lasts a few days and we’ll be camping. Expect I’m literally crying because of how much I don’t want to. I genuinely despise the idea of camping because I hate how sleeping bags feel and I hate outdoor activities and I haven’t even packed yet because my brain short circuits every time I think about it
