Ravensblood Forest walking with giants

There exists a place where you stand at the base of the tree and no matter how much you try, you can never see the top.

Abuelita once spoke of trees that kissed the sky, who had witnessed the cycles of life multiple times in their one lifetime. She never had the chance to see such magnificent beings before the illness took her. She was the only one to ever understand Mictec and losing her at such a young age, Mictec felt like she had lost her tether to the earth.

There was a strange sense of peace she felt as her gaze rested on the forest floor, admiring the small scattering of cones when she felt the soft dribble of red sap fall on her face. Taken aback, she quickly went to rub it off only to find it smearing over the white portion of her fur to turn red.

Sighing heavily, she muttered to herself, "It could have fallen anywhere else on me and I would been fine with that, but of course, I bear my curse and now looks like I'm bleeding...qué puta suerte."

As she aggressively worked to rub the sap off her face, she was unaware of the eyes staring at her from the shadows.
