You walk through the morning meadows, wet dew clinging to your legs as you walk through feilds of fragrant wild flowers. The sun has just risen, and so the morning breeze is still a bit chilly.
As you walk you see a dark form up ahead, and drawing nearer you see it is a living breathing, but sleeping, creature! You are very carful not to awake the black creature sunning on the rock. Suddenly it's nose twitches and it jumps up in surprise, now wide awake. What? Oi!! Traveler!!! it murmurs in surprise. You step back, apologizing for waking it up, but it sighs. No need, I was just taking a light snooze anyway. and it scratches it's neck.
You ask the creature what it is. Me? Well, I guess I'm a bee-pup; genderless crosses of bees and dogs. And me name's Todume. you are fairly surprised at the sight of this new creature, but Todume smiles. Aye, we're not very common, just a few of us scattered about the realms. you nod
Shaking off the rest of the sleep, Todume stretches. I better be off to get me breakfast, good bye traveler! and the bee-pup hops off the boulder and into the grass.
You nod and continue walking, until you see a peice of papper fluttering in the wind. Picking it up you see it is directions to the bee-pups homeworld, starting at the rock that Todume was sleeping on. You wonder if you should take the trail or go on
