nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.</style>

The sun had chased Onni away from her homeland for the day. Even the oasis's comfort was sparse, so the soft-hearted mare traveled north. The air, so thin and hot due to the oppressive sun above, was forced to travel by foot on at slower pace. Not that Onni particularly minded. Most days, she was more uneasy traveling in the air than on foot. She had gotten far more comfortable with flying over the years, yet still, the tobiano was uneasy when flying without a companion. Should she take a tumble from the air, perhaps her healing abilities would save her, yet there was doubt in her heart about that.
The girl would much rather not put that to the test.
When the sand and rock of her home began to give way to yellowed grasses, the mare saw the rise of trees in the distance. The Deep Forest, the thickest part of the Threshold's overflowing wood, held the oldest trees the mare had seen outside of the Woodlands of Isilme. However, the painted girl had a feeling that she would find relief under the shades of the branches there. With an upbeat step, Onni made her way toward the wooded area.
The story took a rather unfortunate turn once the darkness provided by those trees engulfed the mare. The lack of sunlight began to put her on edge. Though little pieces of light permeated the dense canopy to allow for a dim glow amongst the forest, Onni couldn't shake the feeling that there was something out here, just waiting to sieze her. Maybe she had been foolish to fear the air, and not the forest she had happily retreated to. Paranoia was a powerful thing, especially when in unfamiliar territory.
Walking in odd little circles within the large corridors of the ancient wood, Onni could hear her heart beat in her ears, with a twisted little phrase popping in her head. I wonder what it would be like to die here.

[ ooc: Setting is the Deep Forest, mid-day. Onni is being all spooked and paranoid, so she will likely attack anyone/thing that approaches her. ^^
