 She’d never gone this far south – at least not this way, anyway. Looking out on the red sea of sand tapering out from the dwindling, sparse fringes of the meadow, Maude could see why. The river didn’t reach this far, leaving a parched, empty expanse that seemed to never end, and though she could see a few shrubs, and narrow, sun bleached trees, what lay before her was so unlike her home that she was actually quite afraid to venture out into it. The swift wind buffets her wavy hair against her neck and haunches as she stares out into the foreign expanse. Miles opened wide before her, so many that the horizon was a distant, blurry line that rippled and moved with the heat cast down by the Sun. Never before had she seen so much of the brim of the world at once, except, perhaps, when she looked out over the sea, where the Moon’s wood fell away to the rocky ocean below. The sea, however, broke the world into a line that made sense to the girl. Water did not grow trees. Land that had almost none of them, however, made her feel oddly ill inside, and she wasn’t sure why. Touching her fragrant pouch of leaves for comfort, she looks out again into the red desert, before tentatively stepping out on the sandstone surface. Surprised to discover that a lot of it is stone, rather than sand, she makes it about five yards out before she also notices that there are gemstones embedded in the flat expanses of rock. Eagerly staring at the sparkling objects, she almost forgets to feel uneasy in the strange land. It can’t be so bad if the ground sparkles, right? [ OOC: Set on the surface of the Heart, along the southern border of the Meadow. ] With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me. |
