Jim woke to the pale morning light filtering in through the entrance to his den. He yawned, stretched, and blinked the sleep from his eyes. Another fresh, peaceful day.

The first thing to do when one woke up was to find and drink some water, which could be quite a challenge in Monoceros if one was not familiar with the area. Fortunately, Jim was, having lived here for the better part of six cycles. The little stream he usually visited had flooded recently, with the sudden storms that came at the end of the heat and humidity that had engulfed the caves lately. He noted, with interest, that the water he lapped up almost seemed to crackle with magic. Jim did feel more energetic, invigorated of late... but he hoped that this strange storm of magic would not bring any negative health effects.

Too much of anything could be bad for you, after all.

Now, time for breakfast. Any Lesser Gembound nearby?
