Out there in the silence

Her trek across Boreas toward the mangroves kept getting derailed and rerouted as she maneuvered around pack lands, desert, and rivers. It was taking her a bit longer to get where she was going and normally she wouldn’t care, but landing in this creepy forest didn’t really make her thrilled for the journey. It was getting to be later in the afternoon, bordering into the evening, when she started making her way into the densely forested land. At first it seemed okay, just lots of thick trees and brush that made finding a path through a tad difficult. However, the further she went the more mist seemed to gather across the ground and the more unsettling it all became.

The sun was quickly starting to set and was just adding to the eerie feeling she got from this place. Elise just wanted to get to the other side as quickly as possible, but the thick undergrowth and the fog made it harder to navigate. It slowed her progress and made her even more eager to get to the other side. It was just so oddly quiet. She didn’t think she’d ever come across a spot in these lands that she didn’t like, but maybe this was it.

One of her ivory forepaws got caught under a tree root as she was trying to feel her way across the forest floor, making her topple over with a yelp, the sound of surprise and mild pain sounding so loud in her ears compared to her muffled surroundings. She fell over onto her side and she blinked with surprise while she gathered her bearings. With an annoyed huff she picked herself up and gave her spotted coat a shake. The sooner she got out of here the better.
