The moonscorned passed from the riverside to the crags without much thought, without much care. There was no reason to, after all. Snow had fallen last night, but she’d found somewhere with enough cover to rest her head. It was enough. It had been enough. The perks of being not so very large, after all, were that you could fit nearly anywhere. Easier to keep yourself warm too. Selene was doing her best to keep herself distracted. Not hard when your head is always in the clouds.
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground. She would learn every inch of this place. All of it. Just as all the other lands she had seen, Selene would conquer them on foot. Had to learn the place, learn the sights and smells and faces. Had to learn what grew here, what prey lived here, what predators were out here. All important things. Everything was important, imperative that she pull in as much information
It would keep the moonscorned from worrying too much about the fact she was cold, and she was alone. The winter would get worse before it got better, that much she knew. Selene carefully made her way up the crags, sure footed but cautious. One wrong step could send her flying, but she was doing her best to navigate on short legs. Mind moving. Body moving. Stay warm. It was all she could do in the grey morning light.
