I Hear a Symphony

The Weeping Woods was a new area to explore for a particular stormy gray-furred fae. There had been rumors that the woods were different, although the atmosphere was perfectly serene and filled with a permanent aroma of peace. The only way Aeil would know about it for sure would be to explore it herself. So, as she stood at the edge of the first row of trees, she took in a deep breath and began to walk into it. Aeil's first reaction to her new surroundings was in awe. Everything was covered with a blanket of white snow, causing the branches to dangle lower from the weight. They almost touched the ground as Aeil walked past them. Her paws left prints in the snow behind her as she slowly careened her way through the unseen trail between the trees. Even in the middle of winter, the forest had a beauty that couldn't be described in words. Her navy-tinted eyes changed to a lighter shade of sapphire blue as she felt a small amount of happiness swell in her chest. If she chose to join Seracia after her visit with Gerhardt, then this would be one of the places she would haunt. She thought about what the woods would look like in spring, until she became distracted by a particular low-hanging branch. Consumed by the snow on top of it, she decided to yank the branch's tip. One jerk was all it took for the snow to cascade to the ground. She felt some land on her face and a gentle laugh escaped her mouth. Her gaze lowered to the pile of snow near her front paws and it was then she decided to search for a large pile to play in. Softly, she padded past the previously snow-ladden branch and went to the next one. "speeeeech" |
