Walking...so much walking had to be had. In her monstrous form, at least she could move quickly and shield herself from the eyes of any mortals that she crossed on her travels. She had...gotten perhaps a bit carried away back in the Pit, and she felt what some humans might call remorse over her actions. Many humans died that day, but there was ultimately no way around it, so there was ultimately little she could do. Hopefully, those that had survived...some small few might have been allured by the Deep. She could only hope so...the more humans decided to seek out her and her city, meant that the more people she could also save from her and her kins wrath.
How far was she from the ocean? She could ultimately reach her previous home from anywhere as long as she could find the ocean. Judging from the distance, she still had perhaps a few more days of walking to do. If she had a mouth to sigh with in this form, she would have. Well, there was nothing she could do, really. So the Lady of the Deep continued to walk through the forest, towards the ocean. She was careful not to cause too much of a ruckus, she did not wish for any conflicts at the moment.
Still, all this walking was getting rather tiring. Perhaps a small rest might be in order. So the lumbering creature, still invisible to the minds of most humans sat, laying its back against a mighty oak, letting its numerous arms rest as it took a brief respite, turning its head in the direction it had thought the capital was.
Eyra likely would have visitors from some of her more rash kin, but that was foolish. She was angry, and she wanted revenge herself...she demanded blood after her children had been ruthlessly killed for no reason at all. But there was a time and place for everything. First...she needed to rebuild her city. Gain followers, reinstate the old rites and worship of her. It'd likely take awhile, but that was fine...she was patient.
But not patient enough to allow herself more than a few moments of rest.
The creature stood again, and continued through the forest towards the ocean.
Nerine, Voice of the Forests
She giggled idly to herself. She didn't know which forest this was, or where it was exactly in the grand scheme of things, but it was far from her forest, that much she was certain. Not that she particularly cared much. If she wanted to make this forest hers, she'd do it regardless of who or what else was living here. She had half a mind to do such a thing, too. The forest here looked absolutely listless. A thousand years ago, most forests were so lively and green! Sure this one was green, and there were animals and things, but...it just wasn't the same.
Still, even she knew hanging around this close to the capital was likely a bad idea. She may have been slightly flaky sometimes, but she wasn't an idiot. Even so, it was a good idea to plant some roots here and regain some of her lost energy. She was weak...no way around that. After a day of travel, there really was no way around that, and while the number of humans played a major factor in her power, there was also a bit plant like in her needs, and being locked up in that cave really did a number on her.
So, for now, the Dryad found what she was fairly certain was the center of the forest, and made the closest tree there, her home. She almost wanted a cute little human to stumble upon her - that'd make this entire day even more better! A cute little girl or boy, it didn't really matter; She could have her fun with either.
She'd have to lose the bark thought...that'd likely scare a few of them away.
"Hey, you guys are gonna tell me if a human wanders in here, yeah?~" She asked the tree.
"Hehe, good!~ I'ma get some sun, so you guys wake me up." She then found the nearest tree, and with that, found a small clearing not far away, and stood...as motionlessly as any oak as sunlight fell upon her.
