MossyStones looks at you with a warning look in her eyes, if you told her king or anyone else about where she hides the Drats she will find you. She then flicks her tails and walks through the small little sanctuary she had built.
As you looked around you saw many drats running around and playing with toys she had made and some sleeping high up in the tree houses. Some even flew over and landed ontop of Mossy's back. It was beautiful here.
You quickly ran to catch up with Mossy and she she began showing you around and introducing you to all the Drats that called that place home.

As you venture down into the sanctuary with Mossy she leads you to the river. Here its full of Drats that live near the ocean and come by to visit. The river goes downwards towards the ocean so sometimes you have to travel a little farther down the river to see any. But you do catch a glimpse of a few before they disappear.
This place wasnt as big as the meadow but it was equally relaxing. Thousands of yellow dandelions and other flowers covered the ground like a blanket and Drat tunnels were everywhere. You could see in the distance Drats pop in and out of the flowers as they played with each other. A small path was cut through the wild flowers and Mossy started leading me down it.
Farther down the river, right before it reaches the ocean a swamp sits. The swamp smelled... smelly. You look around a few frogs hurry past you, drats chasing after them. Mossy acts quickly and snatches the frogs, lecturing the drats to only eat fish and berries. While shes lecturing them you take the chance to explore and you see other drats playing in the mud or hunting for fish.
Mossy leads you past the swamp and into a massive jungle. The leaves were bright green and colorful birds gracefully flew tree to tree. You could spot a few drats as well gliding with the birds peacefully. In the middle of the jungle a massive tree with only half of it still standing stretched up high into the sky. Little dens were carved out of the wood and drats were crawling in and out as if it was a busy bee nest.
Drat's Name: Oneida (means long awaited lmao)

Story-
Explore #1 -The Meadow-
MossyStone walks through the meadow, searching for herbs since she ran out in the medicine den. A bird shoots across the sky, desperatly flying in zig-zags before it crashes into Mossy's side. Mossy flutters her two delicate fairy wings and looks at the poor little bird.
The bird looks up and begans talking (yes talking) complaining about a MASSIVE lizard with wings chasing her. It sounded like she was describing a huge dragon. She was far from her pride but if a big dragon was nearby it would only be a little while before it started terrorizing her pride. So with all the courage she had she ventured off to find this massive dragon.
And she found it. Er.. something like a dragon. It was kinda similar. But it was tiny. Mossy sat down and watched the tiny creature as it snapped at the birds nearby and chased random thing, failing miserably at hunting. It was kinda cute... She turned and left.
A few hours later she returned with a fish carcass. She laid it on the ground in hopes to find this creature she saw earlier. It might have been too late but she was willing to try and give it some food.
=======
You wander back to where you left the fish, shocked to find it was gone. Every, last, bit. At this point its dark, you can't see a thing. You head home totally empty handed, you never even found the herbs you were looking for.
Explore #2 -The Meadow-
Mossy begins searching farther away from her pride. After a moment she finds a quiet stream and sits down to rest, watching the beautiful cloudless sky above her. She heard a twig snap and looks at a nearby bush. Something inside of it was moving. Maybe its a rabbit... or maybe? Maybe its the odd creature she came here to find?
=========
On your way back you hear rustling in a bush nearby. There! That must be the creature you saw earlier. You crouch to a stalk and slowly creep up to the bush and, leap! Gotcha! Its.. just a rabbit. What are you going to do with this?
Explore #3 -The Forest-
Mossy had been walking for what seemed like hours. She turned back a long time ago and she was reaching a large forest. She remembered her task and began looking for herbs. She needed some african cucumbers and some rainbow stones.. maybe some feathers too.
She stopped to look around, this place was darker than the meadow. The branches reached for the sky like claws and she started seeing things in the shadows. It was getting really dark, the sun was setting. She needed to go home. She turned and started walking home but she passed a tree shaped like an X.. she just crossed that tree. Her stomach grumbled as she started to get hungry and her heart started to beat faster. She growled at herself, shes never gotten lost before. She pointed her nose to the ground and started to sniff her way out and it was working. But then her nose hit a paw step. She looked up and she was back at the X tree. Her ears pinned back and she peered up at the sky, it was completely pitch black now. and she was starting to starve.. Shes really wishing she kept that fish.
But she saw something else against the dark black sky. Smoke. That means humans. And humans usually have food. Hope started to kindle and she ran towards the smoke. And as quickly as it was kindled it was snuffed out. The place was completely abandoned. The fire not even alive now and just a memory of smoke left. She could smell where the humans ate and she licked up a few crumbs on the ground.
She heard something moving and she looked up, praying it wasnt a human. It was coming from one of the collasped tents. She slowly walked over and something was trapped underneath the heavy fabric desperately flailing, trying to kick it off. Mossy leaned down and sniffed it and it stopped moving. It smelled... odd. Nothing shes smelled before. She slowly grabs ahold of the fabric and pulls it off.
========
"She slowly grabs ahold of the fabric and pulls it off." Grabbing and trapping whatever was underneath in your huge paws. It's a Drat! Its so thankful you managed to save it. It also smells the leftover fish on your paws. It flutters around your head and tangles itself in your tail. I don't think its going anywhere!
Over here you can hear mewing and crying and when you peak into the dimly lit cave you see mother drats flying around taking care of baby drats or even protecting eggs!
Thank you so much for creating the drats and sharing them with Lioden! I really appreciate the work you do and god you do it beautifully!
