Summer Serenade

Silvershade wiped a few drops of sweat from their brow. The sun was beating down hard on the Minimal Ranch. Summer was nearing its end, but it's always Hot in the Lani Archipelago!

Even getting started with chores at sunrise wasn't enough to totally
beat the heat. First, all the Minimals had to be fed and watered. Then
there was some cleaning to do. By the time Silvershade was ready for their last chore -- a small repair to a section of fence around the Ranch -- it was practically noon.

Nothing sounded better than a cool drink of water and a nap in the shade, but the care of these Minimals was their responsibility. Silvershade wasn't going to let a little summer sun get in the way of making the Ranch as safe and comfortable as possible for them!

Silvershade hefted their tools and set off toward the broken fence. They didn't notice a trio of Minimals following in their wake.

They got to work. At first Silvershade felt like the tedious task was going to take forever, but then, slowly, they felt their mood start to lift. They found themself humming along to a sweet, echoing melody. Where was that delightful tune coming from? Glancing up, Silvershade discovered the culprit: An Echoflute perched in a nearby tree, singing a beautiful rhythmic melody that kept time with the strikes of Silvershade's hammer.

"Well isn't that sweet of you!" Silvershade smiled up at the bird Minimal, cheered up by the company. They kept humming along in harmony as they kept working -- but music or no music, it was still miserably Hot.

Just when they felt like they would have to give up and finish the task tomorrow, Silvershade noticed it had suddenly cooled off.  A fresh, cool breeze danced around them. How could that be? They looked up: The sky above was still a clear, searing blue, and the sun was still beating down.

They looked down. Two Minimals -- a pale lynx with bright blue eyes and a small ram with spiraling horns -- were sitting at their feet.

As Silvershade watched, the Spirehorn with its soft emerald fur, gave a small hop and shook its head, releasing a soft soothing chime that complemented the Echoflute's melody. The Chillynx twitched its nose and yawned; the cool air seemed to be wafting from its icicle-like whiskers.

"That's just what I needed!" Silvershade was grinning now. The last of the repair work went by much faster with the cool sanctuary and soothing music provided by Silvershade's Minimal companions.

Silvershade tossed the Echoflute, Spirehorn, and Chillynx a handful of treats as they finished up their work and started the walk back toward home. "Thanks, little fellas," Silvershade said. "I know it's my job to take care of you -- but sometimes it's y'all who take care of me!"

"Adventurers, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more Minimals like these. If you're looking for an Echoflute, Spirehorn, or Chillynx of your own, make sure to stop by the Minimal Ranch and I'll get ya pointed in the right direction!"
