As Aruna walked through the woods she noticed that the grass seemed to hiss lightly as she walked. Upon closer inspection she saw that the grass had small teeth, like a Venus flytrap. So far it didn't seem to do anything, but Aruna didn't want to take the chance. she used her strong draconic legs and jumped up to grab a low branch, then swung herself into a crouched position on top of it. she then continued to walk through the tops of the trees. [i]damn, it's quiet.[/i] And indeed it was. Though it was early morning the sun should just be coming over the horizon, but it wasn't. the trees were so dense and thick that no sunlight got through, and it was so still and so silent you might almost think that time had stopped. She stopped for a moment to take in her surroundings and take a short break. As she did she felt... something. And it was nearby. She stilled herself in the tree and waited. It was not long before a beautiful woman with bright red hair walked out of the darker part of the woods. She was pale and looked not at all prepared for a hike through the woods. [i]I mean, look at those shoes. Her feet must be killing her. She must be from Eclysite. It's the closest big city to Hellenisle, but still it's a few days travel away... why's she here?[/i] She leaned in to get a better view of the mysterious woman but as she did the branch she was balancing on let out a loud [b][i]CRACK[/i][/b]. Aruna went perfectly still and waited to see if her mystery woman had heard her.
