[Naria]

Narleah wasn't in the best of moods this day. The suns rays were relentless upon her head and her floppy hat provided little relief. It was extremely hot, making Narleah more and more miserable with every step. "Bah, is this treasure really worth all of this?" She scowled. Soon she came upon a thicket of berries that looked to have been cleaned out of its supply. "Aye, I wonder who or what has been here....and not too long ago either." She pondered this for a moment. Narleah figured that the culprit must have been the one that introduced himself to her as Novogord the night before. She was not at all impressed with the carnage that took place and kicked the bush in front of her. Almost immediately berries fell onto her foot and rolled to the ground. Narleah was very hungry and wanted desperately to eat some of the swollen fruit.

She took her hat off to examine the situation and give her head a scratch, "hmmm of course, this will work!" Holding the hat out in front of her. Narleah knelt down to take a closer look at what the bushes held for her and spied a copious amount of berries hanging from the bottom. "Ah ha, he didn't take all of them." With an evil grin on her face, she tasted one, then another and another. "Mmmm so good," smacking her lips together she filled her hat. Narleah groaned, "This will not do, I am so hungry and these will be finished before I leave here." She needed to fill her belly and just then a thought occurred to her, I am small and these berries are lower to the ground, I wonder if I were to lay down and pull myself under them. She lay on her back and pulled herself underneath the thicket. "Yes, this will work just fine" She said with a proud tone in her voice. Narleah was so close to the berries that she didn't even need to use her hands, she just raised her head off of the ground and began plucking the berries off with her teeth. If someone had not seen her wiggle under the bush, one would have assumed that a boar or a small bear was in the thicket gorging itself. The sounds that Narleah was making was horrendous, loud slurping, slapping and gulping noises as she swallowed each mouth full. She was having quite a time in her blueberry world.

A large belch escaped her belly and Narleah was satisfied. She wiggled her way out of her feeding den, wiping her face with the back of her sleeve as she picked up her berry filled hat and continued on. However, what Narleah did not realize was the mess on her face. She had blueberries everywhere! The pulp and skins were caught in her teeth, beard and hair; not to mention the juice, it was all over her skin. Narleah looked like a hairy blueberry, she was oblivious to what she looked like, nor would she have cared, and set off into a now setting sun.
