Noctisardor Bypass the loxian gate

Druid slunk along the waterline, eyes combing the shallows as she crept. So far, she hadn’t seen much activity, so she stopped and crouched. Perhaps if she waited patiently in one spot, her quarry would come toward her.

Long minutes passed and the pup tried to be patient and still, though her muscles soon began to ache. She shifted her weight and blew out a breath, glancing down at Bracelet for something to do. The little snake appeared to be asleep.

The lanky Sämling flinched at a sudden burst of noise from overhead. Her head reared back and Druid watched as a flock of geese winged past overhead in the distinctive “V” shape. They honked quite loudly as they flew over Rivenwood in the direction of Rising Sun Valley.

Druid abruptly began coughing as a strange taste filled her mouth. As soon as the geese disappeared over the bypass’s southern wall, the weird flavor began to fade. She blinked rapidly for a few minutes, glancing down when she felt Bracelet shifting around her ankle in a fashion that could only be called curious.

Is it just me, Druid whispered to the snake, or did everything just taste purple for a second?
