The golden eyes she saw did not break contact with her own blue eyes. She noticed for the first time that she was holding her breath. Breathing out slowly, she worked on calming her mind; this was not an easy task. She blinked after a long time of just staring; When she opened them again the eyes where gone, the pond had settled, and the forest sighed with relief. A weight lifted from her body, she did not want to take her eyes off of the pond however. Terrified that if she turned her back the creature would reappear and steal her away into the pond.
Peace flooded her instead of fear, the pond seemed normal, at least for the time being. She glanced around herself; the path she had been following was gone. She had no way out of the forest, no panic ensued. Only a tiring calm filled her mind. “Everything will be ok.” A voice said to her. It was a very delicate voice, like a breath could break it. So she didn’t breath, scared that the voice would leave her. “You have nothing to fear little one,” It said to her. A path opened up before her; at the end she could see sunlight. Even from a distance her eyes had to squint to adjust. She realized that she had been in the very darkest part of the forest. “Thank you.” She breathed out staring down the pathway.
“Go on then, there is nothing more for you in this forest… at least not for now.” The voice said she knew that whatever the voice’s creator was it had left her. The calmness didn’t leave her mind though. She walked down the path; it was a shorter walk than she had anticipated. Leaving the forest behind her, she walked out into the full light of day, looking behind her the path was gone, only a thick wall of vines and other deep green plants. The forest was protecting itself from the outside world, and the border seemed like the protective skin of the whole being. It no longer looked like a congregation of plant to Shyla; no it was something far greater than that. She walked away from the forest, questions flooded her mind, and slowly the calm left her mind as she walked over the vast plain in front of her. She was headed back to her master, with questions that she doubted the world had answers for.
