Bit of a crappy post.

What had possessed her to do such a thing?
Her mind tried to twist around her own thoughts with difficulty as she pressed onward, cream-colored feet offering change to the charred remnants of the earth. There were no memories for here in the dead forest — she had been too young to know the world on the other side of the jagged peaks before the fire consumed it. That hadn't stopped her journey. Without permission from Ezekiel, though she knew she should have explained, she'd left Inferni to make the trip from her present life to the long dead past. What had possessed her to do such a thing? Her home was the wastes, with the coyote kingdom found there and those damned creatures inside of it, not the lost shadows that now stared back at her.
Crimson eyes watched nothing, for there was nothing there for them to see, as her curiosity grasped her mind forcefully. Years. Years had passed, causing her faint memory of ash and smoke to fade into nearly nothing, but there it was in plain sight. Blackened trees, fallen from the destruction of the fire itself, were strewn throughout the region; the world was dead there. Though it was not the home her parents had held at the time of her birth, she felt sympathy for the remnants of the forest — sympathy she didn't extend to the breathing Luperci encountered in her days.
She found a place to rest, her back flush against the damp, charcoal trunk of a tree as she pulled the time-worn journal she'd used to mark her life from the careful folds of a makeshift bag. There was charm in the dead world, and her fingers captured the ghosts of the present with careful strokes from her broken pencil, marking another memory to show her Golden Saint on her return.
