Can you hear the silence

Scavenging had seemed to be harder for Viper now though not beause she had spent a short while as a prisoner in a pit. The experience had emotionally taken a toll on her and she had no clue how to handle the feelings inside of her. She wanted nothing more than for things to go back to the way they were before and that seemed impossible now.

She had stayed closer to the northern lands for no particular reason. It was getting colder out but these were the lands she knew the most after her time in Ruina. She avoided Fireside like a plague and hadn’t made her way out east or south since leaving. A hidden anxiety in her that she would not ever admit. Not that she was really scared, but she had grown tired of her life stuck inside a cage. It wasn’t the first time after all.

Her dark body trekked through the wash, a little uneven from her recent encounter with a bear. But she showed little sign of discouragement and she went around the gleaming stones in search for nothing particular. She really just needed something to fill her days now, as she had felt before searching for Jupiter and running through Fireside. She felt the life of a loner was starting to get boring and lonely, but it was the only life she knew and would accept anyway.
