Snippet #4305

A young Draiken speeds through the woods, gliding between large stretches of trees, keeping to the tree tops. Her heart pounding in her chest, Shenna Rai looks back to see if she's still being pursued. Seeing nothing behind her, she slows down, and stops on a thick pine branch. She looks back again and listens to everything around her.

A burbling stream, wind through the branches. A smell of rain comes to her and she peers through the branches above at the darkening sky. A twig cracks out of sight, and she takes off again faster than before.

After what seems like an hour, a cave passes unnoticed nearby and abruptly the woods give way to a clearing and an old cabin. Deciding to try to outmaneuver whoever may be chasing her, she takes a risk. She rushes for the porch. Thunder rolls over head, and the rain begins pouring down. Seeing a light on, she knocks at the door and waits a moment for an answer.
