(I sure hope Mr. Sneed a hungry fellow and has room for more!~)<br/><br/>Thyra, an elf child, was out and about with her parents picking fruit off of pear trees in the forest. She didn't want to go today since it was raining, but today it was her family's turn. She sees that a pear she picked had fallen from her basket and rolled down a hill. She walked to it, picked it up, and then noticed something odd.<br/>As she turned to go back, she did not see her parents. Its as if they left without her. The rain would have washed away any prints they left, and she was not a good tracker. She continued walking in the direction the pear landed, with her basket still in her arms. She saw a dark opening ahead, and decided that'd be as good of a place as any to get out of the rain. She stopped in the cave opening and put down the basket of pears.
