Bramblepoint Strength comes from the good things

Imagine that you are the worst thing anyone could meet in the woods at night. This had been a playful advice from Osprey, when Wraen had been very small and had gone through the fear-phase. It had not helped much then, because of her hyper-awareness of every sound, movement and shadow around her. But later, when she had got used to traveling on her own, this was something she humoured herself with. 

So did she do now. 

Wraen too had experienced the uncomfortable feeling of being watched by invisible eyes, but for the first time in her life she was the one, who was watching. It gave her a sense of power - of limited scale, definitely - but still. She had time to analyze her observations and make her own conclusions about the character below. Had it not been for a crow, who decided to land on a branch right next to her and give it's signature "caw-caw-caw" song, she would have remained there without drawing any attention to herself.
