Felltree Marsh new year’s day

Attn: @Mae and @Boone
Felltree Marsh: In the wake of a massive, violent tornado, a section of a once-tall forest has been flattened and flooded. A variety of birds have taken residence, though the area isn't quite habitable for other species— large tree trunks and a tangle of branches float in a mixture of mud and pools of standing water. Explore at one's own risk.

Blackbird had never felt so alive! She'd managed to slip away from Swiftcurrent Creek without getting caught; she'd yet to experience this kind of freedom. With the world at her fingertips, she decided to go north and explore whatever and wherever she could before she inevitably got caught—


—days passed, and still nobody found her.

She discovered Felltree Marsh on the fourth day of her adventure, and foolishly, she began to trudge right through. There was a young confidence about her, one that didn't give way to standing water and some fallen trees and she managed to navigate the swamp for some time. She lost her footing only when she took one wrong step into a deeper portion of the swamp and began to sink into the mud. Panicked, and clearly caught off guard, she dipped deeper into the ground; she'd found a concealed patch of quicksand.

Thrashing around, she looked around wildly and screamed with all her might: HELP!!! as she continued to plunge.
