She didn't stop as she sprinted through the forest. She'd shifted at some point to gain speed, the paws of her jaguar shift eating up the ground towards Ludo's Woods. At least where she remembered it being. It had been dark last time she was there, with music playing through the trees and people laughing and dancing and enjoying the thin veil between their world and Mort's Halls. She remembered the funny masks and outfits, how she'd worn a glittering black cloak that looked like a galaxy sewn into cloth. It had been fun.
But other than the lanterns hanging in the trees and the peculiar color of the bark, she didn't remember much about the location of the woods.
So Nova wove through trees, eyes searching for the lanterns that would lead the way, determined to beat Marcus in this race so she could prove just how capable she was. Part of her worried he might get lost without her to guide him, but he'd proven somewhat competent so far, and her ears remained alert for sounds of his distress. It was the best she could offer him when she was focused on victory.
When a flicker of dim light caught her eye through the misty rain, Nova pivoted against the wet earth, picking up speed as she shot through the forest like a rainbow midnight sky.
