Sequoia Coast you want to be the bad dream

@Sequoia

After their brief stint in the Grotto, Thuringwethil decides it’s time to go. Vercingetorix spends too much time wandering and not at her side and she can see the restlessness in the others Whatever legacy she had when she led Sleeping Dragon has long since washed away with all new faces, as if nothing had ever happened. She takes a deep breath, licks her lips, and picks her way out of the grotto and starts to head toward the coast.

She’s been gone from Drageda long enough and wasting time through the taiga has been apparent enough. They can’t stay out forever but she doesn’t understand the sudden resistance, especially as they get closer.

Thuringwethil skirts around the tangle—she knows better than to try and go through it—and comes out the other end where barrow fields begin. It rolls on for miles and miles and she glances back to @Vercingetorix and @Bobby, motioning them to move and check ahead of them while she makes a path for Drageda. There are still miles to go before they’re home but it is right around the corner. She can feel it in her chest, tightening around her lungs and staggering a breath.

“I’m going to find water,” she tells @Ephraim, parting from him and moving north until she finds the river leading into the tangle.
