"It's time, it's time!" called out Etharmoon softly to her brothers. "We haven't had an adventure in quite a while, so I'm calling a meeting of the Warrior Adventure Club."
"Etharmoon," mewed Winterfrost with a yawn. "It's not dawn for quite a while yet. Don't we deserve to sleep?"
"As I say, there is no rest for the weary," piped up Eagletalon. He never had gotten around to cleaning the elder's den the other day. "I'm in!"
So off they went, two willingly and the other unwillingly, but not to be left behind.
"I say we explore deeper into the trees, away from the lake," mewed Etharmoon.
"I say we explore toward the rising sun," Winterfrost mewed, looking at the sun which was just barely a sliver of light on the horizon.
"I say we explore by the river," mewed Eagletalon.
Great, so they all had different ideas. Now, which one would they decide on? Winterfrost wondered this to himself. When he snapped back to reality, he noticed Etharmoon and Eagletalon fighting.
"The trees!"
"The river!"
"The trees!"
"The river!"
"The trees!"
"The river!"
"The-"
"Stop already!" yowled Winterfrost. Geez, his siblings' personalities sure clashed majorly sometimes. At least they were far away enough from camp to keep from others hearing their bickering. "I say we go neither of your two ways, and go my way, because you obviously will never get the same opinion ever. Come on."
Winterfrost padded away toward where the sliver of the sun resided. Etharmoon and Eagletalon looked at each other for a moment in stunned silence and then followed their normally peacable brother's lead.
"The trees," muttered Etharmoon.
"River," Eagletalon whispered back.
Fortunately, they had not yet gotten in earshot of Winterfrost, who probably would have aborted the adventure time mission right then and there.
On the three travelers went, over hill and dale. Actually, they only went several foxlengths before Winterfrost stopped suddenly and Eagletalon bumped into him and Etharmoon bumped into Eagletalon.
"What's wrong?" asked Eagletalon. His brother had obviously sensed something.
Winterfrost sniffed the air. "I smell water."
"Oh. That's it?" asked Etharmoon. "I was half expecting you to say that you saw a dangerous rouge cat or something."
"Let's go explore!" Eagletalon was hopping up and down with excitement.
The three explorers headed off toward the water.
"Gee. Won't everyone wonder where we went?" asked Winterfrost as an afterthought.
