Cedar Sweep sang the sun

@Shalon

Beneath the boughs of the thinned treeline, Ragna sought peace of mind. Much troubled her these days, and her walk to the sea and the land of her birth did little to soothe her. Nor did the return trip through mountain passes and riverlands. She forded the river south of Sun Mote Copse, still unsure of her standing there, and came upon the sweep of land where the forest thickened.

Ragna stayed beside the river and did not travel deeper into the wood. The water here was cool and clean, for it was not far from where it cascaded down the mountain. She lay upon the sun-warmed rocks, taking in the gentle playing of the light upon the water. It was a peaceful scene, but though she lay at rest, her mind wandered to dark places. Her tail twitched, an outward sign of her agitation, and her brows furrowed with deep thought. And there she sat and watched the water and wished to remain alone even as she wished for company.
