Today, Ines visited the neighboring Shadewood. Perhaps it was a bit premature, given that her own claim was still hardly more than a dream, but one could only walk circles around a plot of land so many days a week before going, well, a little insane.
She'd stopped herself before getting so far. That was how she'd ended up here.
Whereas the Isle was like a sanctuary, the Shadewood had always put her on alert. Different scents ranged about the forest floor, both ominous and promising. Where there was prey, there were surely predators. It was a fact of life one couldn't avoid, and simply meant she just had to be careful.
She followed the winding path of a weasel, and kept her ears attuned. Forest sounds -- the regular -- but somewhere among them, a note or two that was, perhaps, something else...
... but nothing, yet, to cause her very much concern.
