With the spark weed securely (very securely—he did not want to revisit those sharp shocks) tucked away, the Elephant set off south once again; only this time for the Helovia’s Heart. Long, ivory and ebony limbs carried him at a brisk jog, which left Mbwene far behind him as he broached the cusp of grasses, sandy loam soil, and rock that surrounded the hot opening to the Heart Cave system. The stallion could feel his companion’s annoyance at his quick pace flowing through their bond. But Tembovu dismissed it, he was focused on the task at hoof.
Great, heavy skull dropped to the earth, muzzle shuffling through the dying grasses of late Orangemoon. Dark navy eyes searched through the grasses, seeking the Firecracker plant. Thought their glowing blooms would be gone, so the King was somewhat at a loss of how to find a particular grass among the sea of (mostly dead) grassy blades.
A sigh pushed out of his nostrils as he felt Mbwene grow nearer—and her petulant demeanor meant he likely would be searching for this particular plant on his lonesome. "Where is it?" was his low rumble to himself, long strides slowly moving him around the caves' awning mouth.

tagging @Astarot for interest, but open to anyone! (especially if they know anything about plants :P )
Part of his quest, searching for:
Firecracker plant - This plant stands out in the sea of grass surrounding Helovia’s Heart. It grows in small pockets and thrives in shade, allowing it to grow interspersed among the taller grasses. Reaching a maximum height of about 3 feet, the pale green stems and leaves are unremarkable until early birdsong when the flowers expand. The flowers boast a single petal, which curls around itself and dangles in a loose spiral. They bloom in a range of colours such as bright reds, oranges, yellows, and white and they glow slightly in the hours just after sunset. The flowers persist until mid-Tallsun and then the plant produces small, gold pellet-shaped seeds.
