The Spotted Sage- Wagon of Pandara and family

[Pandara]

Hideing the Eggs

The morning was new and everyone was asleep. Pan stretched her limbs out, kicking her hoofs up as she lifted herself up out of the small bed. She shuffled across her wagon, washing her hands and face in a water basin.

Spring was finally here, and Pan knew this. She had prepared for this day. Yesterday she spent time boiling eggs over the fire and watched as they grew hard. She then painted them colorfully, all different colors and shapes and each on unique in it's own way. Stowing them away she went to bed happy thinking of where she would hide them.

But now was that time, to hide the eggs. She forced herself to awaken before any other gypsy or Fortunette would dare too, all of them still slumbering away. Putting on an orange skirt and typing a kerchief over her short orange hair to keep it back, Pandara grabbed the basket. She yawned, the eggs had been sitting in a cool place to keep them fresh and since she was up late prepareing them, they were still very much edible. Her stomach rumbled as she used all her will power to NOT eat one of them.

Strideing out of her wagon, the sun was not up quite yet but the sky was blue as it was starting to see the light of day. Birds were starting to chirp here and there, buds were on the trees. Pan immediately came to full awakening as the crisp morning air hit her nose. It smelled lovely. It was a bit chilly but it was the kind of chill that envelops someone all over, causing their body to awaken and feel new, fresh and revitalised. Pandara felt the magik within the air. It felt like it was seeping into her soul as well.

She smiled at the day. "Good morning." She told it as she skipped off to different directions. Her mules were still asleep even, not budging even from the noise her hooves made on the floor board.

Skipping across the newly sproating grass, her hooves and lower part of her skirt being dampened by the crystal morning dew, Pan found her first spot. A small dent in the ground which she layed a green egg. She hid a couple in the wheels of a wagon, some in batches of wild flowers along side of the trail. She stopped to speak to a tulip along the way, still new and in it's infancy.

"Heylo cute littl' new bourn." She smiled at the plant.

"Huuuh... Hello, what be you?" The tulip asked curiously. It was still new to the world.

"I'm a Pan! Would you mind to hide this egg amoungst your leaves?" It seemed like a good spot for such a thing.

The plant giggled, "A PAN! OH and an egg? Whazzat?"

Pan laughed as she pulled her egg out to show the tulip, it's pink bud was still not yet open to the world. "It's this." It was a pink one with tiny pink flowers painted on it, "And this one matches you. Happy Ostara. Now I must go and hide more before the disk hits above the tree line." She waved at the small friend as she went to hide the rest.

"Bai Bai Pan... Thank you for the egg." The plant giggled, continueing on it's plant way.

Pan hid the rest of the eggs in various spots. Then suddenly noticed the basket was empty. She smiled as her job was done, hopeing to see the children scurry amoungst the places finding all of them they could. She hoped she would get to eat at least one of them for she was hungry. Maybe some fresh oats to start her day.

The disk hit the tree line as Pandara galloped back to her wagon, she greeted it before she went in, taking in the first solar rays of spring into her soul. Spring was here, everything was new and it was a good day.
