The Bracken Woods What is this strange land?

Kaya stopped to assess her surroundings. As the rain continued to soak her fur, she realized the rain was not letting up. She decided it was a good idea to wait out the storm before exploring further into the unknown. Besides, she was tired from her journey and needed some rest. She figured that heading back into the forest was her best bet to find a suitable shelter. As she re entered the forest she recalled a hollow tree that she passed earlier on. She decided that would have to do.

As she headed back to the hollow tree she heard a bark come from the distance. Kaya turned to see a large female wolf towering over her. "Hello there!" the stranger greeted as she neared. "You haven't happened to see any good places to wait out the storm around here, have you?" she asked politely. As the wolf drew closer Kaya realized just how massive she was in comparison to her.

She lowered her ears and tail in submission as she faced the stranger. "I-I remembered seeing a hollow tree that would work as a shelter a while back." she replied shyly. "I was actually heading back there now."
