Tail rolled her shoulders, moving and stretching the aching muscles. She must have slept oddly, or slept too deeply in an awkward position. Her intention was to remedy that with a walk, no other true goal in mind, but she soon found herself amidst ash and charred, broken trees. She slowed to a halt, ears going back as she realized how often she was finding herself alone in a creepy forest.

"What happened here?" she murmured to herself, feeling her guardhairs raise for the third time in as many days. Tail wasn't usually so easily spooked, but she supposed it had everything to do with being in a strange place. She tried to relax, moving through the debris— looking for clues, perhaps, to determine what had caused the fire.
