oh we’ll carve our place

out of time and space

sariel was beginning to realize an adventure to susil crags was not a good idea. she knew her capabilities and how she adapted to unfamiliar lands, but what she had failed to consider was that susil crags was rockier than she had thought. it was a little on the scary side, she admitted to herself as one tawny paw prodded the ground before her before lowering solidly. each pawstep could be the one the tipped her over the edge of the crags and she was regretting not remaining in diveen, where she was familiar with the ground she was walking on. she is not sure why, exactly, it seemed like a good idea to leave, perhaps she was merely bored or perhaps she wanted the thrill of adventure again, but here she was, in a predicament that she had been in before - stuck.

sensitive ears remained pricked upright even as she - painstakingly slowly - made her way through the crags, one pawstep at a time. it was when she came to a turn that she finally did stop. she could go straight or take the turn and head on a slight slope. sariel took a few steps towards the straight path and then a few steps onto the turn, as if the path that felt right would lead her to wear she was going. there was a slight thrum in the rocks on the slope and with her curiosity reawakened, sariel made her way onto the slope. this was a little easier than her previous trek, as there were very few edges to trip off of. the thrumming was getting harder beneath her paws and now she was able to hear the roar of water against stone - a waterfall perhaps? she wasn’t sure, but as the ground leveled out, she was able to smell another.

”oh! i’m sorry, i didn’t realize anyone was here.”

she wasn’t sure where the woman was, so she kept her emeralds locked onto the falls instead. her tail remained by her ankles, wagging slowly and at random intervals. after all, you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
