Katja's life carried her along new routes now, venturing a bit out of the desert. The encounter with the strange blind crow had been unnerving to say the least and experience told her that the gods did not easily tolerate mortals meddling in their business so she had taken herself off elsewhere. Elsewhere, in this instance, was a muddy big lake dotted with stepping stones. A decent place, though not ideal for her as it appeared as though without the recent rainfall this lake would be empty and useless. Still, decent for now, until a better option made itself known to her. These... storms were delaying her plans, but perhaps that was for the best. One could not forestall the Thunderer's rage for petty mortal affairs, and her plans could always use refining.
Still, the delay did grate on her a bit however much she counselled herself to patience, prompting her to spend more time in calming meditation practices and prayer. That was what she was doing currently, perched upon the shore of the temporary lake with her muzzle pointed out over it's waters. She didn't see the muddy water at the moment, with her eyes lightly closed and her ears pinned back to limit external distractions. She wondered if Auora was watching her at that moment, wondered if she could reach out with her soul and find her, but then let the thought go again to float in the void.
