Blackfoot Forest crossroads

First posts always feel so clunky lol, anyone welcome!

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, a mist settled low upon the ground, marring the landscape in a ghostly haze. Despite her pale coat, the loner began to feel a little like a target, and so moved towards a forest for shelter.

Not that this territory was any less eerie. While it was not quite nightfall just yet, the girl's form was quickly enveloped in darkness as she entered the forest, the snow falling from above dampening the usual sounds of a woodland such as this. Pukei felt like she had to hold her breath so as not to disturb the silence. Her hurried strides turned into a slow moving amble, paws tentatively picking through the icy detritus of the forest floor.

She just had to decide to adventure forth in the dead of winter, didn't she? No-one from the pack had even given it a second thought – no warning, just a see ya and some well wishes and that was that. Maybe they were relieved she had finally left. Maybe they were hoping she would perish in her travels to the northern lands.

With a scowl, Pukei shook the negative thoughts from her mind and continued onwards, pressing deeper into the woods in search of somewhere to rest for the cold night ahead.
