Echoes of a Rabbit's Solace

Letra

Sorrel thought back on her father's final words, then shook her head. She figured he would be here already if he was to come, since her father had died a month ago now. Life was meant to be lived alone, she believed. Sorrel, the brave rabbit and lousy mage as she was, was determined to live a solitary life. Magic had become a legend of ancient times, and railways started encroaching even the countryside. Were the deceased mage's words to be forgotten? The little rabbit couldn't help feeling lonely, dabbing the corners of her eyes. She missed her dad. + No, there's no time for crying! She snatched up her basket and dashed off to collect the next herb. Or she meant to, rather. A "Sorrel!" "Oh my!" It was true that Sorrel didn't want to leave her home. Full of energy as usual, she set off from the house. Aromatic herbs made money. It wasn't much, but she couldn't waste the inheritance her father had left her by doing nothing. Besides, how could she know what kind of guy this husband would be? "I should still stay close to home." ...in case someone really comes. Her dad was a powerful mage, and so he prudently brought Sorrel to a place where no one knew him in order to raise her. "Sorrel, there are many different kinds of species in this world." 1. Tropical Forest Biome A. What biotic and abiotic factors would you focus on? Answer (2-3 sentences): I would focus on biotic factors such as trees, plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, predators, and prey, as well as abiotic factors such as raintall, temperature, sunlight, soil, humidity, and water availability. These factors are important because they interact to determine how well organisms survive and how the tropical forest ecosystem functions. Quick study summary * Biotic = living components a SsD * Abiotic = nonliving environmental components : Why? Because living organisms depend on environmental conditions, while organisms also change their environment. HOW? Example: Rainfall → affects soil moisture → affects plants → affects herbivores → affects predators. When? These interactions happen continuously, although their effects can become especially noticeable during droughts, floods, fires, or unusually hot periods. Where? Throughout the forest-canopy, understory, forest floor, rivers, streams, and soil. Sorrel was only twenty years old and was Felix's only daughter, born to him at a late age. Her ears drooped down as she hid herself among the rocks and grasses. Getting me a vampire for a husband? What were you thinking, Dad? Her mother died when Sorrel was about ten years old, and her father couldn't stay with her much longer than that. He died after such a long life yet had little to show for it. The little rabbit wasn't left with many choices. Sorrel's father, the so-called great mage... What was he thinking? Maybe someone else is my husband? Another man might come along. Carefully, the rabbit began to move. She stepped softly closer and closer to home, checking to ensure no one else was there and that the vampire had gone. The young rabbit had yet to fully grow up but had stopped growing; she was born of a good bloodline yet had no good luck. She peered around with fearful eyes. Squeak! to what to do. Did dad really send him? He even knew dad died at 782! Is he after the things dad left behind? Dad definitely said a husband would come for me. 3 Mature Content Warning C ! Trigger Warning A !.
