As Aurora sat on the bed, reviewing her own thoughts, they slowly turned back to her squad leader, Rida. She may not be the strongest, nor the fastest of the faeries, but her mind was sharper than any weapon, more powerful than any brute force could match. Her wit would snap like a whip, and battle tactics would appear in the redhead's mind faster than an arrow could fly. She was her commander, and oh-my-god-Rida-didn't-know-if-Aurora-was-dead-or-not. How could she? Aurora never reported in since the skirmish in the Kingdom of Light. After that, the brunette had been flying solo, with no contact with the Kingdom in any way besides the Princess.

The soldier quickly got off of the bed, retrieved her equipment, and holstered her weapons into their leather loops. [Color=pink]"Sorry, I just remembered that I have some place to be."[/color] Aurora explained her rush as quickly as possible, downing the rest of the water within her cup, and half way to the door. She opened the door, and gave Hale a mock salute. [Color=pink]"See you later, Trai-Healer!"[/color] Aurora nearly slipped with the nickname she had for the elf, her mind going on overdrive as it calculated the fastest route from this area. Hopefully the woman who lived in this cottage didn't notice.

Shutting the door as fast as possible without being rude, Aurora quickly noticed that nothing around her looked familiar, except for the Deathwood. If the faerie wanted to get home, she was going to have to pass through there and hope she found some kind of landmark she might have passed by yesterday. To be completely honest, Aurora had never been this deep inside of the Deathwood forest before, having delt with most of the enemies of the Light at different areas around that side of the border, but never the Deathwood for some reason. Well, there was no time like the present to learn something new, right? Aurora took off, her flight a little less straight than it normally was as her right wing protested at the movement. The faerie had no time to heal, she needed to get to her commander, and no soldier rested until they reported in.
