Bright and sunny, there was a gentle breeze flowing through the town of Arrow Oak. There was a very subtle chill in the air, the first traces of fall. Eris honestly couldn’t picture better weather for today. She was packing the last of her supplies into her car, double checking to make sure she wasn’t missing anything. It had been a while since she’d been camping, and she was excited to catch up with her friends. Once sure she wasn’t missing anything, Eris started on her way to the campsite to meet the other’s there. It was a bit of a drive, out of the town and into the surrounding woods. 

It wasn’t too often anymore Eris got out of town. While she had a garden and many houseplants to satisfy her love for nature on a daily basis, it was extremely refreshing to be away from the town and fully immersed in the natural world. It was hard to explain, but there was just something about being out in the forest that felt so welcoming to her, like she was at home. She parked her car in the small parking lot near the trailheads, deciding she would wait there for her friends before venturing into the woods. Leaning against the trunk of her car, she sipped some tea from her thermos.
