Born in flames, I have been blessed

It was midday but it felt as though Hanako had stepped into a land of night and mystery. The sun barely penetrated the twisted canopy as a rolling fog surrounded Hanako, just reaching her knees as she pushed on through the mud and muck. More than anything she just wanted to turn tail and head back home, to rid herself of this filth but curiosity had well and truly gotten the better of her. It had been faint at first, a tickle in the back of her nose, but the further she ventured the stronger it became, a familiar scent she hadn’t picked up since...well it felt like forever ago.
She’d gotten better at tracking as of late, had learned to use her senses efficiently in tandem but in a place like this everything seemed to meld together. The sights, the smells and sounds were all one browny-green blur, with only the shadows to separate it all. Letting out a huff Hanako came to a standstill, her brows drawn as her tail lashed in frustration. Wherever the trail was headed she’d lost it now and maybe in the process she’d gotten herself.... Did she really have to admit it? She puffed out another sigh as she indignantly kicked a sodden stick out of the way, for all her successes as a Wraith she’d kinda fallen flat on her face this time.
