The Long Way Back

Ruse glanced over at Cerberus as he mentioned how they should be heading back. It was getting pretty late after all so she knew he wasn't wrong. The darker it got the harder it was going to be to see the landscape anyway. "Alright," she agreed and began to turn back toward Obscura's lands, looking for a spot where they could cross over the winding river. Before she could move forward any more though, she felt something move across her paw and she looked down to see the tail of a snake moving from one patch of dried grass to her left to another patch on her right. Her hackles immediately stood on end and she squeaked as she jumped back, her ears folding back against her head. "Um, I think it's called Serpent's Plain for more than just the winding river," she said nervously, her two toned gaze now looking around at the grass anxiously. Was that the only snake? Or was there more? If there was more how many were there? She didn't want to find out! "Okay maybe we head home quickly, she said with a little chuckle, trying to calm herself down with a bit of humor.
