Seren

Perhaps she had strayed a little too far. The quick sojourn into the Wilds to see for herself exactly where Stormbreak lay in relation to everything else had turned into a far longer journey than Seren had planned for. Guilt had begun to gnaw at the back of her mind, and she told herself that she would only linger for a few more hours, then go straight home. She just wanted to see where this trickle of water was going. Smell the spring air, and see if she could find just a few more budding flowers. The rolling landscape was laid out as a garden all around, it would be... rude, wouldn't it, to just rush through without appreciating all the splendours. Right?

So she pushed the nagging thoughts of her father a bit further back and let the sound of murmuring water soothe her mind back into the usual cheer. Barefoot she leaped from stone to stone at the edge of the stream, and stopped only when she found herself with a wide gap between herself and the next perch. The water was growing deeper as the banks stretched further apart, birthing out into a winding river. Humming to herself, Seren squinted against the sun and tried to gague how far it might be to the rock. Could she jump it? It seemed possible, and with a look of intense focus she bent her knees slightly, gathering herself to make the leap.
