Emberwood Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light

@Olive this will be interesting! :)

The woods. Of course. It always led back to here. Why wouldn't it? Her life had always led back to the woods. 

Her legs trembled as once again, the trees towered over her, like the monster that haunted her nightmares. She huffed, trying to clear those thoughts, yet they floated there, as if now mocking her in the daylight. Cupping her ears forward, her chocolate brown eyes were blurred by tears, and she chastised herself. This had to be done... didn't it? Doubt swept through her for what seemed like the hundreth time, pausing her step. 

Shaking her head, she put one paw in front of the other, cautiously stepping into the pale trees. The man she had encountered had said the lake would be the the best place to start her search for Reigi. Yet her mind wasn't on Reigi, it was on the woman who might be able to help her. Sniffing the air, she wondered if she was even there. She had looked for a while, yet had not turned up anything. 

Almost turning back, she flicked her tail and blinked away the tears, moving deeper into the white wooded forest.
