Happy Little Trees

It had been some time since Sakura had traveled to Boreas. She often kept to herself within the bamboo maze or was found lounging around Manatee Bay. Though she had been growing restless and decided she needed to step it up more before she got in trouble for...well...not keeping up. She didn't want to feel or seem like she was on a free ride. She needed to start contributing, and it was high time that she got on that. Her first stop would be Boreas, the former princess had crossed the land bridge to find that Fjord just past it was full of autumn colors. The thick forest that lined the narrow channel was an array of oranges, yellows, and reds. Leaves were falling, crunching beneath her feet as she walked alongside the channel, and she occasionally watched the leaves drift into the water and float away. She hadn't been this way in ages...and come to think of it, the last time she had passed through was to do some exploring, and at some point had met some weird woman with skeleton markings who helped fight off an alligator. That had been a strange encounter for sure...
