When Gizzern woke up on account of someone or something else, he was incredibly ornery. Sure, he had had a week of refreshing sleep, but his peaceful, natural process of waking up was intercepted and rudely sped up by.. something outside, and that was enough to ruin it. The shadow dragon stumbled to his feet and squeezed himself out of the entrance to the den, which seemed to progressively get smaller and smaller by the day. Maybe he was getting bigger, or maybe the den was collapsing at a snail's pace.

Gizzern stretched for a good minute before staring about his surroundings in search of the culprit. Nothing. Ah, well. He was already awake, so he might as well have a quick bite to eat. There were a few hippocamps nearby in a small body of water. The shadow dragon headed that way.

Birdie was back at the cave she had found in the pine forest. Smoke no longer billowed out of any hole at the top of the cliff the cave rested on, but there were a bunch of berries set out. Birdie sniffed at them before taking a bite.

Something nearby clattered to the ground. Birdie looked up in alarm to discover some kind of contraption a few feet away. She cautiously approached and poked at it, but nothing happened.

Footsteps sounded behind her. There was that beast again. It looked rather displeased with the contraption, but Birdie didn't study its face enough to understand why. Her attention had been directed towards the small basket of blackberries it was holding.

The beast approached, and Birdie, being a semi-wild animal, stiffened and prepared to run off. The beast halted and dropped the basket on the ground before slowly backing away and then climbing back up a steep hill that led to the top of the cliff.

Birdie relaxed and approached the berries. A few inspecting sniffs revealed that the were just regular blackberries, and she happily dug in. That beast is rather kind, Birdie thought, licking the dark purplish stains from her lips. Perhaps I don't need to worry so much. If there are more of them, they must be kind as well! I’m coming back here for more berries.
