Twelve days on Planet Quatriena: Vergi continent (#justwriteit #earthlove)

Study date 7-10

Much time is passing by. Our voyage on this planet is almost at an end. Quatrienea is a planet that is just as beautiful in nature as our own planet earth. Luckily unlike our world it has not been tampered with by technology. A planet of pure nature, something our world can never go back to. Refreshing to see a place that has only be touched by heaven's hand only.

As we get closer towards the end of our, we look at Boshi to see how much he has grown. At this point in his life he and his brothers are ever so closer to going out on their own. He is almost seven, and at that age hynines leave to go out on their own. The average life span of his species is thirty to forty-five years.

Another reason as to how we are able to tell the time is about to come, is the fact that Boshi's father is growing weak. He is moving at a more sluggish pace, and the once proud unbreakable spirit he had in his younger years has faded. The females live longer than the males, so our original hynine mother will have but a few years left to her string as well.

At this stage in their lives Boshi and his brother's shall gather food for the family. They hast fully leave the new temporary cave they are currently housed in for winter on the continent they were born on. The go out into the wide open plains in search for a good family sized meal or meals, whichever comes their way first. Whoever the target is they better be prepared. When such powerful beast hunts in a pack, it is sure to be the most mighty kill that most land animals on the planet of no chance of surviving. The all run in the same direction. No one is leading the pack, so the rest will follow whoever gets a sense of good prey nearby.

So far no luck. It is early and most of the creatures on this continent are asleep at this hour. Their sleep schedule is a bit different from the norm. Hynines themselves aren't up at this hour but Boshi and his brothers were awoken by pure hunger. This is an advantage, for any poor slumbering creature will most likely meet its end in the next few minutes. They travel far from home, the farthest they have ever journeyed in search for food.

They climb hills from small, to large, to huge, to incredibly steep. They are in luck once again in life. One of Boshi's kin spots an eatable individual not too far off. He runs first to indicate that he is on to something. The rest follow close behind. They run at high speeds down the mountain side. Their sharp claws keep them from sliding onto their side or back and tumbling uncontrollably downhill. If that happened they would be slightly injured nothing too severe, though that would keep them from catching prey for a while.

They are now just moments away from a much satisfying meal. The meal will be a full grown cottenswine. Cottenswine's are very road plump creatures. They are covered in thick white wool. There have a very interesting ability that allows them to fire out their wool in order to blind an oncoming predator. When they do this they are unable to shoot of the necessary amount.

They in turn in up dispelling all their fur in attempts at survival. If not careful they could become sick due to cold weather. Luckily most of the cottenswine's predators come on during warm weathered season. However there are times when they will become a victim to both predator and frigid temperatures at the same time. While their thick layers of fat, and the fact that their bodies are close to the ground given their height, that is still not enough to insure survival once they have shed away all of their wool.

In order to stay warm during harsh cold weather they cottenswine will burrow underground. It will move its body around through the dirt until it burrow back up in order to make a small hole to allow oxygen in. It sticks its nose through the hole and breaths in the fresh air as its body stays warm in the small dirt tunnel.

The cottenswine is able to stick its nose through a hole only successfully because their noses are so elongated. They have a very fat pig looking face for the most part. Although once you see the coatensien's long six and a half inch nose, you will see where the similarities in appearance end. These animals are also the only ones so far that we know are also edible for humans.
