Creaking joints and aching muscles. The swim had done a number on Adhara. She didn't have the energy to carry herself as she usually did. No, while usually quite the proud beast, she's tired. How long had she even been here, yet? Barely days. Yesterday? The day before? Something like that. More and more distance between the woman and the raider that she'd been for so long. She'd put as much distance between that period in time and herself as possible. This was about starting over. This was about starting fresh. When your own band betrays you and a rift like that one forms... well, no one was going to get out unscathed. That much was for certain. In reality, it was likely a stroke of luck and skill combined that had kept Adhara alive in the end. Self preservation above all, the creature had fled into the sea. At least she still has her life, right? The Woods stretched tall around her, casting long shadows. Night would fall soon, and Adhara considered tucking herself away among their shelter for the evening. It wasn't a bad choice, and the chances that she'd be found by anyone unsavory were slim. Hell, it wasn't like anyone could really see her among them, at least if they weren't looking closely. Dusk pulled around her shoulders like a comfortable, familiar blanket. Adhara carefully tucked herself into the gnarled roots at the base of one of the willows, her back protected by the broad tree. She'd make herself as small as possible and hide away here in the safety of the evening. |
