[Exploring: Soulless Forest]

With their brother's sights set on the space below the mountain it was probably pertinent for them to know more about the other lands that would soon be sharing a border with them and not just focus on the one that seemed most likely to cause problems. Starting with the forest just a bit outside the main opening to the crypt. If Auðr had hoped the trees would provide some shelter from the near constant rains they were sorely mistaken. Sighing they shook themselves out for what felt like the 20th time in the last hour, the clinging mists seemed determined to lock any and all moisture into their coat. Which when it's as thick as their's is, sucks!

Not helping matters was that Auðr was pretty sure they were lost. The old growth seeming to twist and bend around them in ways that kept them from recognizing anything. Well that's good, they just hoped Vidarr would be kind when someone eventually pulled their corpse from the mists. Y'know say some nice things, maybe even pretend to shed a tear or two. Auðr sighed and settled themselves against one of the trees, they just needed to get their bearings.

There was still a lot to explore in Boreas and with auester getting cooler well the reptile naturally moved where it was warmer. What was worse than cold though, maybe it was moist. These vines got thicker as they went, Koby’s tongue being unable to pick up most scents. Considering he lacked eyelids, the moisture was simply clinging to him. Well he needed to find a way out, but as he slithered through the jungle like area he stood up spotting a wolf not far off.

Koby made sure he could be seen, he was aware many canines saw him as a threat. "Hello! Are you in need of sssome help?" he called out, looking to make sure he knew what trail to take. It was thick sure, but the territory didn’t seem too big. With a name like the soulless forest he wondered what secrets it held. "I’m trying to make my way out myssself." English seemed to be the main language here so the cobra defaulted to that. His hood sat flat so the tall noodle tried to seem non threatening.
