Chapter Text
Originally seen as a quite childish or "not mature enough" druid apprentice, who would rather explore the outrisks of the clan territory and play around with the children while telling them stories or doing tricks for their enjoyment rather than learning and practicing the craft of being a good druid and possibly (if the need arrived) be a good clan leader; because he would see it as a "boring and not that exciting thing to do all day".
After seeing the failed attempts of making him interested in the clans way of working and teaching; the elders made a plan of going his way and make him learn the so called "hard way", a way where he would be sent outside the territory for a period of time to live and learn what has been tried to be teached to him time and time again, this time... in an unpredictable and ever changing environment.
This technique has had its ups and downs, while indeed teaching him the way the original plan was thought; it also helped in nurturing his love of new things and the outside world, which in the eyes of the elders, brought a whole new set of problems to the table.
Now with actual experience of the outside world, he would find himself with an ich, a need of knowing what was farther than he had gone, what else could he learn?, would he meet other types of creatures if he went further?, or were they all the same?, could he make more friends and collect more stories and tricks for the children of his tribe?; with so many questions and so little answers he decided to go to the elders and seek advice, to know what was the better path, should he follow this desires or should he stay?.
After getting mixed answers of what he should do and a “the final decision is with you son”; he decided to follow his heart and leave, while not for good but for a longer period of time, not knowing when he would come back just hoping to be remembered and to be received with open arms again and to not be seen as an outsider by his people
