I Hear A Rustling

Svala continued her way southward, coming to the edge of the Rustling Thicket. At first glance she wasn't entirely sure how she was going to make her way through the thicket. It was a wild tangle of small trees and bushes that were growing so close together she couldn't even see through them. It might be wiser to go around though as Svala surveyed the terrain she realized that would be difficult. With the river to the west and the mountainous cliffs to the east the best choice was through.

But first she wanted to mark the edge of the thicket. Svala paused and pulled out the rolled up piece of hide that was her map. She set it down and took a thin stick in her jaws. She dipped it in a pouch full of thickened walnut ink then quickly sketched a rough edge for the thicket, taking the river and cliffs into account. Putting her things away she paused to assess the weather. It was cloudy now. A sheet of gray clouds was stretching over the sky and the sun could no longer be seen. She glanced at Hanako.

"Well, we should find some good shelter in there if it rains."
