Her travels were going north, and up towards the mainland. Steady progress she would call it, barely having to stop for anything besides to rest, eat and relieve herself. On this day however she would decide to take some time off from the schedule to investigate this land bridge that would be allowing her passage.

Aeru stood on the edge of the bridge, toes hanging over and wiggling freely in the light breeze. With the head outstretched over the water she would close her eyes and listen, taking in a deep breath of the clear open air, then slowly exhaling. Small waves crashed against the rocks along the bridge, soothing almost. And somewhere could be heard birds squacking at each other, the beating of wings.
