Maps and Hides and Raspberries

Aerndis moved on from the hot springs, working her way back west as she entered the extensive willow groves of the weeping woods. The late afternoon sun was working on its descent, casting beautiful rays of orange and gold across the land. Rivulets of clear blue water wove around the extensive root system of the willows and Aerndis carefully stepped around them to avoid getting to wet. In her mouth was a deer hide bundle which held a number of supplies. She paused to set it down, pulling out a dead rabbit. She'd thought she might need a snack for the journey but her meal of deer was keeping her full.

With the rabbit moved aside she unrolled a special piece of hide. Upon the hide were a number of marks stained into the hide with dried raspberry juice. It wasn't her ideal ink for creating map markings but it was a start. It was quick and easy and she could go back and refine the sketches with more permanent, and less sticky, materials afterwards. She eyed the border she'd just crossed and decided to mark the eastern edge of the willows on her map. Now where did she put that jar of mashed up raspberries?
