it's the road that leads to nowhere
In comparison to the boggy swamps of the Feverlands, the river here is homier. It's quiet, until you sit still for a while and really listen. To the wind, the sweet sound that it makes as it crosses over the water; the water, the rhythmic rippling against the soft shore; the shore, where sand and soil and volcanic rock meld together to create the mesmerizing array of colors. The frogs, too. They plip and plop about, unperturbed by her figure as she kneels down in the shallows.Her presence is gentle as she looks out across the colorful pools, the sunlight streaming out across them, creating a vivid display. It never gets old, no matter how many times she's been here, but she can't remember a single time where she actually stopped to appreciate a place like this. She had trained here with Deimos, using the water as a safety net to literally play with fire. She'd chased the frogs through the riverbed with Ray, as panther and panda.
She smiles and huffs out a small laugh at the memory. It echoes over the bubbling water, the nature around her so loud that the little sound doesn't seem to offend. From a satchel strapped around one shoulder, she retrieves a medium-sized mason jar. She pops open the top of it and dips it down into the shallows until it becomes completely submerged, watching as water and earth flood the small space.
