"Butterfly Effect" by parody_ham
A beautiful spring day beckoned the Borodere siblings as they enjoyed a weekend away from responsibilities and duties. Their lakeside cabin had a rustic charm, with plenty of places around the fire pit or porch to enjoy a good story. Lisha dug through her backpack of books—twice the size of her clothing bag—while Jeran lowered himself into a rocking chair. “What’re you looking for in there?” Jeran asked with vague interest, leaning back and taking in the clear, blue sky. She removed a large, leather-bound tome that read “Fauna of the Meridellian Hills” and held it up with a grin. Hand-drawn illustrations of mammals, birds, and reptiles filled the cover. “This one. One of my favourite field guides.” Jeran glanced down at the title for a moment and nestled in again. Meanwhile, his sister leafed through colourful illustrations of local Petpets and their behaviour, humming as she did. Eventually, she found herself in the butterfly section. Detailed maps of their habitat and location filled each page along with sketches of each species. Her brow furrowed as she read aloud about habitat this or host plant that. After a few minutes of hearing her jargon-filled mumbles, Jeran stifled a yawn, debating if now would be a good time for a nap.
