Goaty Love
Lady of Goats, Bananas and Cheeses
--== Neia ==--
It was early in the morning, the sun was barely up and it was still cold in the cave. Neia slowly got up and looked around her at her fellow tribe members who were all still asleep as far as she knew and she would've smiled if their immediate situation wasn't so grim. Their fire had died last night since they didn't have any more wood to feed it with and what little food that they had left wasn't going to nourish them for much longer, she had to go out and forage. Silently she got up and moved to the entrance of the cave and picked up a pouch to carry berries and roots aside from a flint dagger in case she needed to protect herself or cut something loose. She looked at the two young men who kept watch over the cave entrance, gave them a silent approving nod before stepping outside.
As she stepped outside she felt a chilling breeze blow past her and she shuddered. Winter was still a fresh memory and even though plants have been growing for weeks now it still felt cold. She took a moment to take a look at her surroundings and she noticed the entrance to the cave they were in was located halfway down the steep slope of a rocky hill, maybe even a small mountain. There was a natural path on the side of the slope that went up to the top and the other side went down towards a large plain with some hills and what looked like a small river with a large forest all over the place. They would have fresh water, lots of plants, firewood and prey, but the large forest would probably also house predators. Neia smiled as she started down the natural path to the river and the forest to start providing her people with food whilst humming.
