Two Rivers Isle blue dream

Please wait for @Fjall to post before joining!

 

Their night in the Shadewood had been uneventful. After catching their dinner and eating, they turned in for the night to wake up with the sun and get an early start for their trek. Ariadne didn't expect to make it back to Moonglow today—even with the full night's rest—but she did not damper Fjall's enthusiasm when he mentioned it. "We will see," was all she could say. 

Their trajectory trended south—much further than she had initially anticipated. It was hard to navigate with the lush canopy overhead, and she struggled tremendously to keep them on track. She was quiet as they walked, focusing more on their path and surroundings than her company.

She had come across a pack-scent about a mile back and stopped abruptly as the smell became more pronounced; she had been following the invisible trail instinctively and without thinking. 

"We should be careful," she warned. "I think we might be close to another village." She studied the river through the treeline, silently wondering if the pack would be willing to point them in the right direction. She watched her friend, wondering what he made of their proximity.
