By the time Dan had caught up with her, she had proudly dug out three plants of vyfox and was working on one of the ‘feverfew’ ones. When he pointed out that they were daisies instead she curiously picked one and brought it to her nose. It had some sort of sweet smell and she took a closer look at the petals. They did seem a little longer and the center smaller. So instead of carefully digging them out, Sayana picked several of the daisies and tied them together in a chain to make a circle, which she promptly stuck on her head. “I’m the daisy queen!”
Once she secured the vyfox plants in her rope contraption, she followed after Beodan to see what he had found. “Bynntip. Well, if you don’t think it’s important then we won’t gather any.” The Eypharian answered with a shrug. She carried along roughly where she had left off, but in all likelihood missed a little, then returned to perusing the forest floor. There were some vines that didn’t look like much, but she pointed them out anyways as they crept up a tree.
They proceeded along quite well collecting this and that as they made their crawl. Sayana pointed out some little purple flowers that turned out to be violets. And she was plenty excited to find a small patch of thyme. She had overheard Orin talking about it as a spice in food and she was quick to sample a little as soon as she knew it was safe to eat.
Then further along she spotted some yellow flowers. Her heart leapt as she dashed towards them. Yellow. She knew something that had yellow flowers. Aletrid was golden yet these were yellow with red centers. “Oh! I think I found some Connal!” Sayana called out excitedly. She started digging them out with the spade. Connal was something for the stomach? She couldn’t quite remember but she knew it was good. She reached down to pull out the plant and started working on a second. That’s when she noticed a small hole in the ground amongst the flowers. Further away, she spotted a second hole.
“I think there might be rabbits here,” she stated as she yanked out the next plant. “Oh, look!” With a high hand she lifted up one of the leaves of the Connal plant. Something had been nibbling away at it. It seemed like the forest was teeming with life. After depositing several of the Connal plants into the rope bag she got up searching for more.
There was a bit of sunlight where the forest seemed to thin and she spotted some purple amongst green bushes and grasses. She ran towards it, jumping over rocks and fallen logs, anxious for her next find. However, what she saw struck her silent. The trees were blackened pillars with few branches upon them. Much of the forest greenery was wiped clean and only small newer plants seemed to grow. The large purple bell-like flowers at her feet seemed to be thriving as well as some other purple flowers growing in tall grassy strands.
They had ventured quite deep into the woods now and had come across the results of huge forest fire from Fall 514. Many plants were beginning to grow back like the harebell and the hardy fireweed but it was still clear that fire had wreaked havoc upon the woods.
