Firefly Ravine River Crossing

Tohka made her way down into the gorge on the east side of the river that flowed swiftly through it. She caught a few salamanders and frogs for a snack, but that wasn’t her reason for being there. Her intention was to cross the river, but she was unsure of the current, thinking it might be too strong for her. She looked up and down the river in both directions, hoping to see a fallen tree or trail of rocks or anything else to span the river, rather than having to swim across it. She had already fallen into a different river a few days past, and she didn’t care to fall into another one, especially one that seemed even more dangerous.

She decided to head downstream, thinking that if she didn’t find any kind of bridge to cross, she might at least find a gentler section of the river that would be easier to swim across. She slowly made her way along the bank, hopping up onto boulders at some points and wading into the shallows at other points. All the while, she kept her ears perked, listening to the music of frogs croaking and insects buzzing against the backdrop of the flowing water.
