Just Like Home

Getting out of the castle had been quite the feat for her, but she eventually made those steps with Bowen in due time. It still wasn't easy but it was definitely relieving. That wall in her head wasn't holding her back, she just didn't want to do it alone.

One of of her early memories of her life in The Hallows had been the stars of the plains, so she asked Artorias to go with her this time. Maybe it was more because it was him, he was strong and protective not that Bowen wasn't but she just felt better coming out here with him during the night. The days had lasted just a little longer since she had arrived in the Auster winter. She waited for him in courtyard before taking that deep breath out of the castle walls. The sun setting over the plains she made herself focus on everything except the fears that were so forward in her mind. A path ahead of them seemed to light up maybe by fireflies or maybe it was just some kind of strange illuminated, unreal light in the grasses. She would see ahead that the path led by the plain's river and then veered off towards the grove. As strange as it was, she wasn't worried by that. And being here with her brother, and the other surroundings she was so familiar with in her youth is what made her calm.
