Jade Fern Grove they’re taking my heart now

@Minori

something wasn’t right.

he had a home. he had food. he had company. anything he ever wished for as a loner, he had it. and yet, it wasn’t the same. there was just something missing and he didn’t know what it was. the same feeling that drove him away from silvertip, from arthendal, from blackrock, it was coming back. it loomed over his shoulder and taunted him every night. he despised it.

that familiar feeling of wanderlust overtook him one morning and it was strong. issun did his best to ignore it, because if he gave in he feared that he would walk out and never return. but the urge was too great and he quietly slipped out of the valley. i’ll be back, he told himself, just going for a quick stroll no big deal. but they were nothing but reassuring lies.

he found himself in a emerald wonderland, far from bearclaw. issun paced back and forth in distress and anger. “fuck. why do you keep doing this?” he cursed between his teeth. slight panic crept up on him. how long had he been away? had anyone noticed him gone? he had to go back but...

a few more minutes out here wouldn’t hurt.
