Swiftcurrent Creek tsu

@Akavir, @Eshe, @Arric, whoever wants to encounter her.

it was almost midday but the sunlight was thin here, frail almost, with barely any warmth. the trees she'd spotted were craggy old things. they had seen many seasons, and she wondered what secrets they kept, if only someone knew how and what to ask them; but she saw nothing familiar about them. here the air wasn't pink with blushing petals, or sweet-smelling. there was a drone to the air that emiya did not recognize; this is what drew her along the most, powered by her curiosity.
the sounds came to a head just as the earth became rocky, and she found it difficult to find purchase with her steps. further ahead of that was the rushing water of a riverbend. she'd seen rivers before—her home had a few—but nothing as fast-moving or winding as this.
