Variety seems to be the style of the western region of Desuna. Much of the south is exceptionally flat and has aptly been named the Vast Plains, as the land seems to roll out endlessly. If you reach the northern ends of the plains though, trees begin to appear, growing larger and thicker until you're surrounded by the Roraldi forest. Trees get more sparse toward the north, unable to grow in the surrounding permafrost.

From the Mist (Self)

Having crossed out of the misty path Ki stopped and stood silently for a few seconds,her inky black hair dancing slightly in the unseen winds.Shaking off the eerie feeling having not left the mist in so long,she gave a shrug to no one particular and turned her back on the wisps of mist that recoiled back into the blackness of the night. "Trouble always follows when you go back."She caught herself saying with a shiver.She had a right to be fearful in may ways but those thoughts too were pushed aside as she pulled the soft black leather over her hand,tossing her fingers through her hair,pulling the unruly curls up into the small bright red hair tie Ani had given her when she left. She let go a breathe she hadn't realized she was holding before beginning her long walk down the smooth stone path,out into the moonless night.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

At each bend of the stone road she could have sworn shadows were leaping out,trying to grab her.Stopping for a second when that thought crossed her mind she rubbed her eyes and blinked, "So not paranoid Ki..."She teased at herself the same way Cal would have,easing her own nerves as she did so.The path seemed different to her still,but who knew how long it had been since she'd entered Yasu's misty world,there time really was different.She then thought of Yasu and the others,how much a home that strange place had become.'But I have to,for myself I have to  go back.'She thought letting her mind rehash the whole argument again.No one had objected to her leaving,but then they also understood that she had her own reasons for things.The young kuhna rubbed a gloved hand over her face and blew out a breathe and began her walk again.The path though was long and over grown,she seemed to trip over vines and hear the crunch of plants crushed under her black boots more than she'd remembered when she'd first entered.Could have meant that months had passed,or she could have taken the wrong path;but Yasu had said there was there was only one path in and out so she figured she was safe to assume a large chunk of time had passed and just keep walking.

After almost an hour of wandering she finally saw the stone arch which told her she'd come to the end of the misty pathway.After an unknown time she was finally back in the world she'd been raised in,"Well... not that impressive,I guess."She murmured to herself before stepping out through the gate which swung quietly closed and vanished as if it had never been there.Blinking for a second she felt the fear swell in her chest as panic struck her,but it calmed when she remember that she could go back any time she wanted.Shaking her head she laughed at her self for a moment,before continuing on,her mind made up that she would come back.Above her the crescent of the waning moon gave an even more jaded view of the shadows which now seemed to have talons and claws,in a few she even saw fangs gleaming at her. "The world out there is a rough and unkind place."She could hear Yasu saying as she pressed on,pass the gate and into the clearing passed the wood. Her skin crawled from the cool breeze and the tricks her mind was playing,almost as if there were eyes on her,but she knew that wasn't possible.Her feet felt heavier as she went making her way to the bridge that would lead her back to her old life,the world she'd left behind.

Following along the nicely cleared stone road she felt more alive,more than she had in who knew how long;but with it came the dread and the fear.She couldn't even hardly think of where she was going,her heart racing wildly in her chest,searing with fear and rage.She knew where she would go first,back to her "home" of sorts,back to the cathedral where the horrors of her life had first begun.She would see if the old pack still roamed there or if some of her old friends were still lurking in the midnight shadows.A shiver rattled her forcing her to cover her small wings with the black leather jacket she'd brought.Her old trademark smirk even came back,even the rough spring in her step returned to her like a second nature.Though her comfortable life in Yasu's home had become comforting,even soothing to the dark nature she was accustomed to;it had never really left,only been quieted.Her foot falls became more quiet as each step was planned,carefully thought out to make as little noise as possible.She become her old self in only a matter of ten or so minutes,the child without a past had returned to this world.The cool air tasted sweet on her tongue as she went,feeling the rush of the wind causing her skin to tingle madly under her jacket and gloves.She was almost running down the pathway then rushing to meet whatever darkness lay in wait for her beyond the bridge.

In her rush she'd come through the clearing faster than she'd expected,now before her lay the bridge.Stopping dead still she felt that familiar panic rise at first It was then that she turned looking back again to where she'd come from.For a moment she felt like she should turn back,but another part of her pushed at her to go forward to press on and find what it was she sought.Sighing she let herself twist her finger in the white jade trinket,from it came no memories though,not as they had inside the mist.For a few brief moments she felt nothing at all as she stood there.The silence of her mind and heart was welcomed but it didn't last,it couldn't,the numbness vanished like a puff of smoke.A sigh fell from her lips breathing out the puff of grayish white smoke from her lungs into the cold night air,it was in that moment the decision had been made,unspoken for her.Turning her back on the path and where the gate had once lain she took the first step of many onto the bridge,the hard thunk of her rubber soles on the sturdy wood seemed to echo all around her.With a last half look over her shoulder she smiled for the last time,"I'll come back...you can't get rid of me that easy,no matter how much you want to."She whispered,then facing forward made her way carefully across the bridge,carving her own path silently in the cold night to the last place she'd called home.Her hunt for answers had begun.
