The sunset around her, at least, was a grand show. Adhara could find peace in that much. Pinks and purples seemed to color the world around her, and the fading sunlight that was playing within the trees. She's reflective as she tucks herself away from the world. Silence is so golden... so incredibly golden. After all this time, it feels foreign. Adhara hasn't been on her own for very long. Maybe she could get used to it. There were certainly far, far worse things to be than simply alone. Silence was golden. And silence was fleeting. No, Adhara knows that she's not truly alone in these woods. There would be others here, and they would come and go... and come, and go. The question was, would they be able to spot her out? If they were able to spot her out, would she be in danger? Fight... flight. Flight... fight. On a day when she had more strength left in her bones, the answer would be an obvious one. When there was more that could drive her forward. When there was more for Adhara to draw from, she'd be happy to fight when threatened. Today, however, it seemed that the well was nearing dry. The swim here had taken a lot from her, and she needed the rest. Fleeing would likely be the option she'd take, if push really did come to shove. Breath held in her lungs, the woman waited. She'd heard a voice, though it was too far to make out exactly what it said. One beat of her heart. Another. Another. From her spot, hidden away among the roots of the willows, Adhara peered out. Who's there? But she doesn't want to give her position away to ask the question, either. It was a waiting game now. |
