The Search for Wheeples

Well, maybe the combined flavours would be good? She was gonna say, but let it be. She smiled and said, "let's keep trying them!" She grabbed another pod, a purple and orange one. "Maybe we should try them all before we mix, actually. I dont like the spicy, but perhaps if a add a tiny bit of it to something else, it cause give it an exciting taste, making a new flavour!" She exclaimed. She opened up both pods, and tried them. "This one is sweet. I think this ones one of my favorites. Mmmmm.... it tasted so... sweet! Get it? Like the other kinda sweet? Like awesome?" She said, laughing at her own joke, then trailing off. "Yeah... it was a bit of a stretch." She said, nervously laughing. She opened the orange and took a swig. "Its... savory. Kinda reminds me of that meat stuff I tried at the haunted house... Oop, sorry, guess you weren't here for that." She added on. "Now let's see.... the only flavor I haven't tried yet is blue, I think!" She handed Kaia the pod she tried, and picked off a blue pod. "Kinda just tastes like the orange one. Not completely the same, but... very similar." She said, swishing the liquid in her mouth. She looked back at Kaia and waited for her to try all the flavours.

Spearmint, who's arms had seemed droopy and ached, was acting as if she weren't tired. "Psh, I'm not tired... " she said slowly. "I wanna try all the combinations!" She picked up another pod of a new color, red, and mixed it with the other pod, blue. "spicy and Umami... that's what Lullia suggested on friendzy!" She said quietly to herself. It swirled around and mixed until it was a deep purple, less vibrant than the purple on the tree. She sipped it, and her eyes lit up. Of course not saying anything to not disturb Kaia. She kept trying new flavours, wincing at some but drinking the entire pod of others. As she went on, she became more and more sluggish and droopy. Her body had been sinking to the floor more and more as she walked, her back arched and hunching over to reach the pods on the lower part of the tree. She eventually collapsed, and began to snore... a faceful of damp mud. But she didnt care, she was to tired... Almost instantly she was asleep, as too was Kaia who fell asleep way before she did. She dreamt of many things.... new flavours she had never tried before... her next evolution.... the things she remembered from the Old World....

The next "morning" (as days do not exist on terrea,) she collected her things and set off, kaia walking by her side. She suggested it would be best to walk for a bit, as her arms still ached.
Spearmint usually walked on all fours when trying to keep a faster pace. They weren't running per say, but it definitely wasnt a slow pleasant stroll. She also stood on her back legs while standing in place or just walking around normally. On some days she can be seen on all fours though, even if she isnt in a hurry. She waited to see if Kaia wanted to spark a conversation as she watched diligently around her surroundings, keeping an eye out for anything of interest or anything dangerous.

At the sign of Kaia apologizing, Spearmint looked confused. As Kaia started going on about her, she blinked multiple times in shock, her eyebrows shooting up, her face looking surprised, before a smile crept it's way onto her face. She waited, listening closely to Kaias excitement. As she kept walking, her face grew more pleased with every compliment. Spearmint beamed as Kaia finished up. "Well, thank you!" She exclaimed. "I'm so flattered, I didnt think you had it in you to get so excited!" She stared for a moment, before her look of humbleness and slight calm explodes into excitement and she bent down to look at Kaia and said, "I cant keep this up- I KNOW, RIGHT?!? ITS SO COOL!! I CANT BELIEVE I ACTUALLY GOT TO EVOLVE INTO THIS! ITS SO AMAZING! I CAN FLY NOW!!! AND IVE GOT THESE AWESOME HORNS AND THIS COOL TAIL AND-" She kept going on about it, Kaia and her going back and forth about how awesome it was. "Can you believe that one day, you are gonna be one of those d... what did you call them... Dorgans? Those things!!! Goin around, being free..." her arms lifted, imitating a flapping motion as she closed her eyes and imagined the possibilities.
Just up ahead, the barrier from swamp to mossy mountain was approaching fast. It was a smooth transition, from mud to moss. Spearmint could barely see the white of the snow peaking over the horizon, and as soon and she opened her eyes she looked ecstatic. She jumped up in the air, and hovered just a bit off the ground (blobs can hover: see this thread, fourth paragraph down: terrea.freeforums.net/thread/5/blobling-lore) She pointed at the snowy moss in the distance. "Look! Look!! There it is! We're so close! She looked back at Kaia and shouted, "I am so excited!! Arent you?! This is so amazing!!" She said, using her arms to make herself do flips in the air, flying around in excitement.
