Denflo
The roots of the young sapling pierce the forest floor. No destination in mind. No hurry. No desire for anything other than the blooming small flowers and fluttering glowing insects.

Why creatures?
An index of creatures.
02Caffeinated
Gerra
A messenger, a carrier, a transporter. Running and hopping from collection to destination. The knapsack's contents are unknown to all but the sender, the retriever, and Gerra.
Black tea baseEntry 0203Caffeinated
Erca
Prowling through the night. Paw marks press into the soft dirt. Sparks flutter from its tail tip as eyes sparkle for the steady strong beats of Erca's clan.
Black tea baseEntry 0304Caffeinated
Rista
Steady hooves amble through the long grass. Leaves rustle as little creatures weave in and out, helping themselves to the bountiful berries growing from its horns.
Black and oolong baseEntry 0405Caffeine-free
Ribi
A shooting star soaring in the night sky. Until the streak of light bursts overhead: four eyes blinking back. Ribi, the night bird, awake and hungry.
Hibiscus and berriesEntry 0506Caffeinated
Leli
The moment dusk settles, Leli emerges from within the tree cracks. The lantern swings behind as the glowing stone casts eerie shadows.
Chinese sencha baseEntry 0607Caffeinated
Teo
Carrying little creatures to and from places. A berry, a rose petal, a cornflower as the fare. His ancestors once carried beasts that towered over trees.
