Neverwinter Forest ukalliq

no need to match length at all please! just getting into her mindset again <3

The skies cleared that mid-morning and the crisp air carried her like a feather. She was not sure where the wind in the trees sought to guide her, but each step seemed somehow a touch more familiar. She ranged far as the sun moved along like a guiding point.

A hunter had taught her to follow the skies with a certainty. He had moved in his demonstrations with the sharpness of teeth to skin, she had watched him entranced, she had sung to him to warmth —

Just beyond her second year she had returned. Tall and still thin, but she moved with a grace that told a comfort found within herself. She knew these woods and the faint scents that wove through for hunting trails seemed familiar in places. There was a grand desire to charge through the thick of the trees to where it would surely rise into slopes.

She would have ran right into her anaa! Yet she had to be respectful as any outsider might be.

Outsider! Her heart could have wept!

But she knew that, in some ways, she was. A girl had left and a woman returned in her place. Yet this woman still carried her whimsy of youth with her just like the worn dark fur carelessly slung over shoulders. It was as she slowed and came to stop upon the thickest ring of the borders that she realized besides herself, besides this trader fur cloaked upon her, she brought nothing!

It was good that the forests stopped her. She would find something here before she finished this journey to her home.

"aya! aya! aya!"

Her ginger ears turned at once and soon her head followed, body and legs next. A working song rose through the trees and her voice echoed back.

aya! aya! aya!

down beneath the leaves —

look as rabbits run!

now we do our part,

we must hunt as one!

aya! aya! aya!
