Live and Let Learn

Vine had liked her visit to Auster when she came for The Hallows festival, so naturally she was interested in in returning to see some of the other lands Auster had to offer. She didn't get too far into the continent due to the festival, but it was also a trek to get around The Hallows once you entered through the Bifrost. She did plan on staying here for a few days before heading home.

She had admired the shores east of the Hallows, and had even seen the mixed golden birch trees as the lands changed from the grove to the dam. But she was caught by an unexpected rain that floated overhead, causing her to dart for cover under the trees. The falls seemed like a much more dense canopy of trees to get out of the rain so she made the move more south of where she was now.

The trees helped significantly just as she had hoped, though there was still a fair amount of rain water falling off the leaves. She gave a quick little shake before venturing farther into the cedars. Her eyes sharp on her surroundings, she took the moment to admire the tall pine trees and listened for what she heard was running water. She decided it was probably a good place to set up for the night.

Venturing farther into the falls, she found a place to stay for the night near the base of the large pool at the bottom. She still had plenty of daylight left though, but the rain and the trees above made it feel much later than it actually was. Vine dropped whatever few supplies she had brought with her for the trip before heading back out into the forests. She began scenting for some kind of prey for dinner. She was sure there were plenty of pickings for her to choose from. And they may have had the same idea as her to get out of the rain. This place seemed as good as any to find some safety. Luckily she wouldn't be killing for sport, just one meal for her belly.
