With the warmer weather of the summer in full swing it made a trip to Boreas' northern lands far more pleasant. She was more tolerant of colder weather than some having grown up in the mountains of their home island, but even that was fairly mild to some of these areas further north. It wasn't all that often that she went this far from home without Saracyn when it wasn't for a diplomacy trip or some other specific purpose, but she had felt a bit of a wild hair lately and wanted to get out to stretch her legs. She left early in the morning so that by the time she made it around the polar sound and up into the sparse pines it had only broken into the afternoon. She hadn't yet decided whether or not she'd try to get back to Elysium before it got too dark, but for now she'd see how far she could go before she decided to turn back.
As she was wandering slowly through the tall, spaced out trees, she spotted a herd of elk off in the distance and she paused in a place where she was mostly obscured by some shrubbery to watch them. She had no doubt that if her brother or even her parents had been here they wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to go after one of the antlered animals, but given the fact that she was both by herself and not as inclined to hunt for fun as they were she would just watch them from a distance for a while before she continued on her little adventure of sorts. She wasn't sure if her trip would bring her anything more exciting than just a nice walk though some northern woods, but it already felt like it was worth the trip regardless.
