Ara was feeling unusually bold today. Somehow she'd ended up swimming to an island, one she'd seen a few times in the distance from the shore of lands that bordered her home. She wasn't much of a swimmer, truth be told, and she was glad it'd been a short journey here. The woman shivered as she made her way onto the sandy shoreline, soaked to the core with the frigid ocean water. Perhaps she could've picked a more reasonable season to take this journey. With a big shake, she tried to rid some of the water from her coat. Fiori's lands weren't particularly cold - she remembered venturing to colder places during this season - but it seemed the ocean here hadn't got the memo. Brr! She knew she'd warm up soon enough, so didn't dwell on her current shivering state for too long. As she came to her senses, her gaze drifted over the terrain before her. It was such flat terrain, with no sign of mountain or even hilltop. From one side to the other she could see the horizon at the edge of the ocean, and only straight ahead did it seem like the land had much substance at all. It seemed.. so small here, yet she was certain there was plenty to explore. Ears perking, the smallest hint of a smile touched her lips as she made her way up the beach and to more solid ground. The vegetation here was sparse, though existent enough that she felt she had plenty to explore. Perhaps she'd stay here the day, or even for a few. Lowering her head and snuffing at the soil, she'd push on, happy she'd made it here despite the fact that she was freezing now. |
