Picnic Trip or battle training?

Eyrún was growing restless again, something that wasn't unusual as of late. The arrival of her dual raven companions had been like a breath of fresh air, giving her some kind of guidance, but now that she had grown used to their company she wasn't quite sure where she was supposed to go from here. Hjarrandi was nowhere to be found, and she hadn't yet succeeded in retracing the steps of her comrades either. Until then she wouldn't be able to formulate a foolproof plan. Instead she was left aimless and wandering, scouting lands she'd never been to before in hopes of a sign - whether a sign from the gods themselves or something more concrete, either would do, as long as she found something to give her insight into the future.

Huginn and Muninn had left some time ago to scout ahead of her. They had yet to return, which merely told her that there was nothing terribly alarming to report. They had a good system of alerting her to potential danger, something that she'd gotten used to by now. The sun was beginning to slowly sink toward the horizon, its descent casting shadows across the mangrove forest. This place was far from ideal to Eyrún, but there was something mystical about it that caught her attention. As the last of the light began to fade, the forest seemed to come to life, a dull but visible luminescent glow seeming to come from everything around her - from the patches of water between the roots of the trees, to the air itself. There was no doubt this place was touched by the gods themselves, the beauty a stark contrast to the mucky ground that she traipsed carefully over.

Only when a stranger came into view - and why had her ravens not made a point to alert her, she wondered? - did her pace slow, from somewhat quick and frantic to a near crawl. For a long while she kept her distance, observing him as best as she could, before she decided to make her presence known. If he hadn't seen her already, of course. A soft laugh left her lips, her eyes sparking with interest. "Do you feel it too?" She started, in lieu of a greeting. "The presence of the gods? All around us? Look!" Her gaze darted to something colorful shimmering nearby, floating on the slight breeze that whisked through the forest.
