Wandering Caido to clear her head wasn't going as well as Juniper had hoped, thanks solely to the presence of the vampire gourds. Every time she set down for a moment's respite from her flight, no matter how peaceful the spot had been before, they seemed to come crawling out of the woodwork at the sight of her.
Everything in Caido -- except the New Gods and the Ascended -- was the gods' creation, but by now, Juniper was starting to ask herself why the gods had seen fit to create these little nuisances. What purpose did they serve? She didn't even want to fight them; it seemed like it'd be a waste of arrows.
Perhaps they existed purely to keep anyone from getting too comfortable. She sighed as she fluttered five feet off the ground, watching a group of them try to jump up and bite her ankles.
