Morgruff's Study (Story type thing)

[Morgruff]

Morgruff traveled to a new island, unexplored. The boat arrives around noon. She gathers her satchel which contains her book of sketches, inks, quills, and blank leather books. Surprisingly she had no survival gear or food, for she was going to be there a while. As she gets off the boat she glances around, her eyes darting from tree to ground, scanning the area. To the left of the forest in front of her, there seemed to be a grassy plains. The rest was just a thick forest, in which she could already see big creatures that didn't seem normal. Normal being the human's creatures.

Morgruff's Point of View/Thoughts
These sounds aren't too similar to the human's creatures. They sound so different. If your average human came walking on through, they'd probably think of demons or angels depending on their depictions of them. I have to look for a place to start. Plains or waters? With plains there would probably be predators on four legs as well as prey. Oh, I wonder what the bugs look like. In the waters I wouldn't be able to see much, I can't take my books down there. Best thing to do would be to go to the plains. Everything's in.. Plain sight. Hahaa, I'm too funny.
To the plains, then.

Morgruff walks on, hitting the sand playfully with her paws and tail, throwing the sand up as she walks. You can faintly hear the beat of her steps, a four beat pattern, like a walking horse's. As the ground shifts underneath her from sand to grass, the sounds change from sand falling to a fresh rustling noise. The grass was so tall it came up to her shoulders, which she loved. She has always loved the outdoors and resting in tall grass, even though there's bugs and snakes. She knew they wouldn't mess with her. They might be curious, but too small to affect her at all. She walked on and spotted an odd looking creature. It had six legs like she used to, but it had a cat-like build. It was resting on a naked, smooth, white tree. It had white fur with brownish-red spots towards it's forelimbs. It's paws had really large claws and it's mouth had very big teeth, she could tell this by just looking at the mouth because the majority of it's teeth where sticking out of its mouth. It looked like a Saber-Toothed tiger to her. She sat down in the grass and took her satchel off from around her neck. She searched for her ink, quills, and sketchbooks, then drew the creature in her book with these notes..

( Keep in mind Morgruff is 5"2 in height and 10"4 in length. You can see more about her in approved characters, it will help you understand what she is.)

After hours of work, Morgruff observes the creature for a few minutes after she completes her sketch. When looking for creatures, She didn't like to look for the common ones like bugs or birds or anything like that. She liked to go deep into the environment and spend days looking for something she hadnt seen twice, and so thats exactly what she plans to do.

Morgruff pulls up a piece of grass and places it in her book as a bookmark, closes it, puts it in her satchel, and stands up. She stretches and takes a breath then throws her bag over her head, slinging it around her neck and shoulder. Like the cat creature does, she jumps up to a large tree branch and lies down, getting used to and observing her surroundings as a whole.

"I should probably eat soon." She thinks as her mind hops in and out of a light sleep.

Morgruff's horns dug into the ground as she rolled over onto her back. Her nose twitched when a small insect landed on it, awakening her. She got herself up with her front legs and then picked the rest of her body up with her hind legs. She yawned and stretched her front paws out while her tail lifted up and swung down again. She got up on her back legs to search for a water hole.

She spotted one, sat down, and stretched her arms. She then picked up her bag with her teeth and began heading towards the water hole. On her way there, she heard rustling behind her. She brought her head to the side to see if anything was behind her. There was movement in the grass. She put her bag down in front of herself and walked towards the waving grass.

Suddenly, a small owl-like creature popped out of the grass into Morgruff's face. At the same time, She stumbled back and the avian flew backwards away from Morgruff's face and fell back into the grass. Morgruff got back up and moved the grass away from the avian to see it. It got back on it's feet and looked up at Morgruff. "Oh my, you're really big. I'm Rinn the Aolnen. I know I look like an owl but there's a big difference! I have four eyes and horns on my wings. I also have a beak inside my beak, see?" Rinn opens her mouth to show off her double-beak.

Morgruff tilts her head slightly. "Where are you from? Do you live on this island?" Rinn moves forward onto the flattened grass near Morgruff and sits down. She puffs her feathers up and looks up at Morgruff. "I went through a portal and I ended up here. I was expecting to end up in the Void because that's where all the Warp Serpents go, but see, I followed it into the portal because I thought I could cheat my way into the Void, but obviously, that didn't really work."

Morgruff noted in her head that Rinn was very energetic and possibly had ADHD. She seemed to like to talk. Morgruff acknowledged what the Aolnen said and nodded her head. Morgruff laid down, stretching her arms to the side of Rinn, making it so Rinn was in the middle of them, also very close to Morgruff's chest.

Rinn looked up at Morgruff as her feathers fell from being so puffed up. Morgruff looked towards the way of the water hole. "Are you thirsty, Rinn?" She looked back down at Rinn as she asked. Rinn cocked her head back and flew up to Morgruff's head, then leaned down, putting the top of her head on Morgruff muzzle, looking at her in the eyes. She huffed and squinted as she complained,"Well obviously, can't you see that my mouth is dry and my skin is flaking? It's itchy and I'm beginning to pluck my feathers! I must keep my complexion clear of any flaws or I'll-" Morgruff grabbed the Aolnen off of her head and stuffed her in her satchel to silence her.

She got up and put her satchel back around her neck. As she did so, Rinn popped her head out of one of the two holes at the top of the bag. "Is that so?" Rinn yelled at Morgruff, shifting her body around in her satchel, trying to find a comfortable position. Morgruff turned her head and looked at her. "Indeed." She chuckled at Rinn's struggle and continues looking towards the water hole. "Hey Rinn, you mentioned a Warp Serpent earlier. What is that and where exactly are you from? You never answered my question."

Rinn watched Morgruff as she thought of what to say. "Well, Warp Serpents are pretty much like literal land serpents. Aolnen and Warp Serpents share the land with many other creature, the land is called World's Edge. The forst I lived in is called the Forgotten Forest. It's not really forgotten, I don't know what they call it that."

Morgruff nodded gently as they reached the water hole. She opened the bag to release Rinn, then proceeded to lean down to take a long drink of water. Right after doing so, she took a swig of her flask. Rinn waddled to the water and put her head down to drink. After the two of them were done, a thick and sudden fog appeared. Morgruff looked around, puzzled. She caught a glimpse of a dragon-like figure just before it began to vanish, along with the fog. While both confused and scared, Rinn took cover underneath Morgruff.
