Finding me some berries [Capture]

It had been several days since Moira set foot on Stellara’s soil. It has been quite a trip getting from Lillycove over to the Stellara region. She had spent several weeks traveling through Hoenn before eventually boarding a boat that would bring her to Stellara. She had doubts about going on this journey. With her father’s passing, her mother was left ‘alone’ to take care of her younger sister and her father’s restaurant. The first few months after his passing was hard. Moira’s mother was suffering from depression and Moira had to take care of her younger sister and her father’s restaurant. Six months later her mother started to regain some of her strength. Her aunt - her mother’s sisters - decided to move in with them to take care of her mother, while Moira started to get back to being a teenager again. Even though it was really hard for Moira to just let go of all the worrying about her mother. Another six months later her mother was back on her feet again - not entirely but good enough. She had convinced Moira to start a life of her own, not worry so much and see the world. Now that Moira had finally set foot on Stellara’s ground, she finally realized that this had been the right decision.

After she took a couple of resting days, Moira decided that it was time to start doing something. She had a whole new region to explore and discover its secrets. She thought it would be good to start with something she was familiar with; gathering herbs and berries. As a daughter of professional chefs, she knew how important the right foods were. Throughout the years she had learned what ingredients would make good combinations; both nutritious and delicious. Obviously, every region had its own specialties and she was curious to find out what Stellara had to offer. And what would be a better way to start gathering these things than exploring one of its Forests; the Kaxyl Forest.

“On a scale of one to ten, how could of an idea is it to start with the largest forest of Stellara?” Moira asked out loud while she looked up from the leaflet about the Kaxyl Forest. Cyndaquil made a soft sound, standing next to her and looked at the large trees in front of him. “Yeah, that’s what it though,” Moira replied softly, why she had the same amazed stare on her face. It took her a while before she put the leaflet away and looked down at her companion. Cyndaquil noticed that Moira was hesitating, so he made the decision for her and started walking towards the Forest. “Hey! Wait up!” Moira quickly went after Cyndaquil while taking in her surroundings. “You know, it has been you and me for a long time. Perhaps it’s time to find some new friends too? To travel with.” Moira suggested, looking at her companion and trying to figure out how he felt about it.
