Description

Autumn had come and gone, and cold wind whipped across the plains, shaking the grasses with an angry chill. Rum patrolled the edge of his little meadow spot once again. It was always the first thing he did as the sun rose in the morning. He would check out all the little changes that had been occurring as the meadow grew back to better than before he'd say. The marshy area near his little den was full of water, dragonflies nesting by the edge, buzzing around excitedly. He had pulled some of the grass out at the lowest point, creating a shallow pond-like area. He'd even placed a large rock in the center, a makeshift island. This morning a frog sat atop the rock, ogling him with bulging eyes.

*CROAAGUP* it chortled, its throat puffing up as it croaked a deep call across the puddles. Rum continued onward. Around the edges of the once badly charred land, he gazed over the acres of lush green grass, much taller than himself when he stood on the ground. He floated, right where the grasses met the sky, swimming in a sea of greens and blues. Flowers dappled the land, small blotchy sections where a beautiful weed or flowering plants had woven themselves into the landscape. He drifted around the perimeter, taking in the meadow and what it had become. The patches of sparse trees had lost their leaves, and the bony branches clawed the grey sky, but it wasn't a haunting visage. It just looked cold and stark against the massive sky. Rum could feel snow coming. Onward he trekked.
Further around the area he found the wolf tree stump, or what was left of it. It was almost unrecognizable. Months of moss and worms had completely disintegrated the dark reminder, and tall grasses were growing up through it already. He smiled, life always kept going.

Tending to the plant life wasn't the only way he'd helped the meadow heal either. He'd re-homed several animals who had been displaced by the fire. Over the months following the flames, he'd found so many rabbits, voles, and other small creatures, wandering the plains, seeking new homes. In time he was able to help a lot of them, some he brought back to the regrowing meadow and found them little dens, and others he led to new places, holes and burrows scattered the land, and he was good at finding them. He landed softly and wove through the grass, stopping to check out some bugs. He was happy to help his home.
