Aurelia
there's a heart here cast in stone
and there's a past i must atone
and there's a past i must atone
The brittlebone bridge is a place Aurelia has not been yet, in the Oerwoud. She's explored the entirety of this place except for this particular spot. Perhaps because of the mythos surrounding it, that it may invoke some terrible luck upon a person for one misstep.
But hasn't that been the theme of her entire life?
Perhaps this is the one place she should have always come.
So, with Seren in tow, she pauses at the beginning of the bridge, just before the vines give way to it. There is a hand-carved bow and a quiver of arrows strung across Aurelia's back as she glances over her shoulder at Seren.
Thus far, there have been no pumpkin sightings. Kind of a miracle, that. While Aurelia doesn't quite let her guard down, she does take the opportunity this exploration has given her to get to know Seren a bit more. That's why they've come out here, after all. Aurelia had asked her, had hoped that they could find some common ground with their fealty to Safrin.
"Do you know the superstition about this bridge?" Aurelia asks conversationally, just as she steps out onto one of the planks. She'll lead the way across it. There are no ropes to hold them up, only their own poise and balance on the steps. As she goes, she explains, "They say that if you look down, you'll be cursed with bad luck." She offers a grim smile over her shoulder at this.
