Chasing the Present, Escaping the Past

The sun was starting it's downward climb but the massive size of the forest made the landscape seem darker than it was. Massive redwood trees soared into the sky, their great limbs stretching forth so high sometimes Natha wondered if she could walk right up into the stars if she climbed one. At the moment she moved along a trail of moss, nimbly navigating across the forest litter that dotted the ground. Reaching a particularly large tree she gently rubbed her left side against it. Sure turned to face Tamsyn and rubbed the other side of her face against the tree with a grin on her face.
