Heard it too well. Why was it so clear, but of course it was the absence of sound before that. The reason she could hear her own heartbeat in her ears wasn’t because it was beating faster or louder than before. It was because the silence of… [i]something[/i] had blanketed the forest. Before Persephone could finish the thought staring at the rune carved into that branch she began her preparations. A branch dipped in flame, a bow and quiver slung around her shoulders. Her knife of course. She had heard many things about magical creatures in the woods, but it wasn’t her specialty. Still the main thought that permeated her mind was [i]’How am I going to find it’[/i] Persephone pushed that thought to the edge of her mind. Right now she had to find Nissa. She ran and felt the branches and leaves crunch under her weight. She ran and shoved the breath from her lungs in order to run faster. She, at the very least knew where the magical creature’s domain had begun. Where it was in the forest, she had lived here for six years after all. A million thoughts raced through her mind and soon after they had come and gone a million more followed their place. This was no indirect coincidence with the sigil on the branch, something was waiting for Nissa, and otherwise they would’ve taken Persephone once she had been left alone. No. They wanted Narcissa, and it hadn’t become dawn yet. Persephone was not ready to give her up to anything. She reached the edge of the magical creature’s domain and knew that this is where it would become difficult. It was famously difficult to navigate and it was even said that if one went in with a troubled mind their sight could betray them. Persephone made a choice. She held the torch directly above her and closed her eyes. She had no way of purging her heart and mind of their troubled state so she decided that she must instead rely on everything else. She silently prayed to the goddess of luck as she took her first step into the magical domain. [color=#32645b]“O Lady of luck, take me to whom I desire and I will sacrifice a mighty buck in your name o’er only the most righteous of flames. Take me to my Nissa and I shall see to it that ne’er again shall I call your name.”[/color] Persephone kept her eyes firmly shut. Even though any sort of magical creature could choose now as it’s time to pounce. She waited as she walked forwards at a brisk pace. She waiting for her nose to find Nissa’s undeniable scent. Her sounds, or the sounds of whatever had taken her.
