In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

it isn't that unusual [talien]



On most days, the world was a beautiful and breath-taking place. Everywhere glacier blue eyes looked, there was a small miracle come to life at the hands of the divines upon their thrones of cumulus. From the smallest flower blossoming under the warmth of the sun in spring to the baby bird pipping eagerly at its shell to enter into a whole new world, there were splendors all around that were in need of rejoice. So many took for granted all these small little miracles, all the little blessings that blossomed and grew in each and every nook and cranny to be found all throughout this big and wondrous world that if the girl of brandished gold dared to linger too long on such a thought, she would feel the heaviness of sorrow pull at her heartstrings. Ah, but nothing ever seemed to keep that radiant smile from the young maiden's face, something that her family had loved her for from her very first moments in this life that she'd only traveled three short years through. Even when the unearthly storm had shaken the heavens and the earth beneath her rumbled and quaked, even in the wake of losing a part of her family to the mysterious and suffocating fog, she had always been able to find a reason to smile, to be thankful for all that she had been given.

That all changed but a few days ago...

Her steps are careful and soft, like she were treading on the thinnest ice across an ocean stilled by the coldest or arctic winds. There was a chill in the air it seemed, something that was not the normal autumn breeze for while the days were growing cooler ever time the sun would rise and set, the zephyrs that swirled gently around her seemed to tell her to turn back, that she shouldn't be here. A part of her wanted to heed the sixth sense that beckoned her, wanted to turn and run and not look back as slowly she crept along the borders of the last place she knew she should be. There was a larger part of her, though, that was adamant on doing what she believed to be right. Twin peaks swivel about atop her pretty spanish head as she moved at a timid walk, like a doe braving the open meadow despite the stomach-twisted likelihood that the wolf would spot her. Tresses of dark cocoa brush gently against her earth toned skin, matching tendrils flicking nervously against her hocks as she pushed herself forward, barely daring to draw breath, heart racing wildly within her chest as she halted just within the dale upon a small ridge.

She had to force herself not to run for the trees a small distance ahead as she stood there in the open. She felt so exposed, so naked to the eyes of those within this realm that it caused her to shift as she stood there upon the ridge at the highest alert, nostrils quivering as all the unfamiliar scents assaulted her senses, icy blue depths watching for the smallest hint of movement, twin peaks careful to pick up the smallest sounds. She was here for a reason, and she was determined to see it through, despite the strong desire to turn and run. A small twig snapped, sending her nearly jumping out of her skin as she swung her head around to see the source of the sound. A soft sigh of relief escapes her as she sees a fox, his fur thick and crimson like the many colored leaves of the trees, only just catching sight of him long enough to know that it was not him. She turns her attentions back to the foreign world that rolled out before her, daring not to call and instead called upon the zephyrs to carry her scent further into the dale, sending forth a silent prayer to Legado that one she sought would arrive sooner rather than later.

No matter what Valerio said, family was family and she deserved to know...
