Audra breathed in deeply, relishing the fresh air that . She had been walking for several hours now, and the sun was just coming up over the tree-line. She had been walking ever since she had woken after her strange dream where she had heard the whispers carried on the wind: 

[i][color=8493ca]"Jeorva.... Meet us in Jeorva, human...."

"Make haste.... Tell no one...."

"Please.... the Academy...."

"Quietly.... Quickly...."

"Come... to Jeorva...."[/color][/i]

Never in her life had words pierced her soul so strongly. She couldn't explain what it meant or where it had come from, but she knew when she had woken immediately after the dream that she had to follow the dream's instructions. The pull towards the city gnawed at her like an intense and insatiable hunger and, after another hour of laying in bed, she decided that sleep had fled for good, despite the night still being young. She dressed quickly, grabbed her satchel, and went outside, hoping to walk and clear her head. Audra was deeply lost in her thoughts when she realized suddenly she was several hours down the road to Jeorva. It had almost felt like the early morning breeze had guided her. 
Initially a little uncertain, Audra's fears soon gave way to a growing sense of excitement as she decided that then was as good a time as any to carry out what she had been planning for weeks: to run away from her childhood home and seek the purpose and recognition she had always sought for. She had packed her satchel several nights before with things and supplies that she would take with her, just in case. Audra thought that the night of her 17th birthday would be as fitting a night as any, but had still been debating it in her mind before last nigh. Her dream, however, had changed everything. And now here she was! Out on the open road with the wind in her hair on the way to Jeorva!
Her two day journey seemed to pass quickly with her mounting excitement. She felt a twinge of guilt at leaving without telling her family and felt uncertain as to how they felt at her sudden absence. She had originally planned to leave a note with an explanation of her departure, but had been so caught up in her dream that she had forgotten to do so. Regardless, Audra couldn't help but love the pounding of adventure in her heart as she walked farther and farther from what she knew.

She was free at last.

But Audra's sense of freedom quivered a little once she reached the city as she now had to ponder what to do next. She had traveled several times with her brothers to bring their fruit to market, but had never ventured here on her own, and she began to feel uncertain. She was not about to be defeated, however. Lifting her head proudly and clutching her satchel, Audra went looking for the marketplace, which would at least be a familiar place to start. Perhaps she could talk to some of her family's business associates and get pointed in the right way to the Academy, as the dream had stated. However, as she wandered, she came upon what could only be the Academy itself. A few individuals who had apparently decided to stay late filed out, and Audra was considering what to do next as she watched a young woman walk cautiously inside. Her attire was certainly not of the kind that was found in the city, which only became more evident as an older man began to reprimand her for dirtying the floor. He talked to her as a student, but she didn't quite seem to look like one. 
Audra creeped closer slowly, listening for what the young lady would say next, wondering what she was to do next in order to follow her dream.
