Neverwinter Forest that which takes in turns, gives in spades

vague/short haha, @Phocion

From her reunion she moves east, south, not quite ready to bring herself back to Bearclaw Valley. If she ever goes back. She feels aimless, the way she felt when she'd first met Wardruna, before they'd gone to the Valley. Only there is no Wardruna. She belongs only to herself ... when last had she? Had she ever? Poet has considered herself independent, and yet. 

Truth be told, it's a bit lonely.

Her drifting takes her through a forest, lush and dark. She feels spring, finally, the lingering grip of winter easing. There will be plants once more (ah, she remembers her now-abandoned altar with a guilty pang). Spring is for renewal and reinvention, something Poet intends to follow seriously.
