She had old blood running through her veins and her people were known for their adaptability and how fierce and resistant they were, despite the situation. She wouldn't forget what happened to her mother and her tribe and wouldn't deny the fact that whatever she was, there was probably no way for her to return. She wouldn't simply cry and lament uselessly, curl herself into a ball and give up. She would adapt, she would live. Her mother taught her to be a strong woman and her father taught her to be a warrior and a huntress. To give up was to fail to honor their memory, to throw away not only everything they taught and did to her, but her entire culture and her race's history. Ayita only had one hour or so of rest until something disturbed her sleep. First it was a strange voice, calling to anyone who could possibly hear with a 'hello' and shortly after that, a loud, angry shout. Coming undoubtedly from someone big, judging by it's tone and volume. Since it was highly unlikely they were aware of Ayita's presence, she assumed that the second voice had heard the first one, demanding it to show itself. Quickly sweeping the area below and around the tree she was, Ayita tried to see from where those voices where coming. She didn't know if they were friendly or not (at least the loud voice didn't seem to inspire any safety or calmness), but Ayita could probably know where she was if she tried to either follow them or if she judged them to be friendly, ask for help and information. It didn't take long until Ayita saw a strange blue light, glowing in the middle of the forest and illuminating the darkness around it. Moving herself on top of the branches with silent and methodical steps, Ayita moved a bit closer in order to inspect what was happening. Much to her surprise, the three creatures she saw were far from humans. While one appeared to be some kind of hybrid between cat and human, the other two had fantastical features that she had never seen before. A hulking green giant and a small creature with sharp teeth, which was also the source of the glow. Despite the fact that all three of them were armed, their encounter didn't end up in violence, instead they seemed to invite the cat person to sit with them. Maybe they were simply travelers of some sorts, despite their strange appearance? As the cat man presented himself, she could feel the tension between him and the green giant, but despite that, things continued relatively calm. While the three creatures were being watched by Ayita, her presence was still unknown to them since they didn't call out to her like the green giant did to the cat man. Even though she was being incredibly silent and careful as she slowly moved herself, her curiosity ended up making her overestimate how strong that particular branch was. As she moved further away from the trunk, she finally made a mistake, making the branch creak and move due to her weight and causing the leaves to rustle and move in a rather unnatural manner. Immediately stopping moving, Ayita crouched and tried to hide herself amongst the leaves, unfortunately, it was highly likely that they had already noticed that there was [i]something[/i] nearby due to both the rustling of the leaves and the creaking sound the branch made.
