And so the trio journeyed through the flatlands, into the mountains and ended up at the mystical forest of the faeries. It'd been a long journey, no doubt about it, but they'd made it eventually. She made sure the boy rested enough, she didn't want to deliver damaged goods to their doorstep after all, and bug Deidra about getting his injuries looked at. Loinnir scouted out the areas they'd need to cross to see if there was danger lurking, but luckily he returned with good news every time. Her paws were hurting, her back aching - she couldn't wait to rest after all this was over.

When they finally stood outside the willow curtains, obscuring their view, she smiled. Well, we have arrived. This is my forest - and yours, if you want it to be. She told, heart swelling with pride. It was her own soft, little piece of the universe and she couldn't wait to share it with the first pixie to enter their realm.
