_____This time around she stuck closer to home, literally checking out the backyard that was just as much of a forest as parts of Inferni. Just like the old home over the mountains, the forests were thick and overgrown, scarcely touched in places and definitely just starting to get broken in. It had been raining off and on most of the day and in the dense forest of pines, it still felt like it was going at times. Some drops of rain were perfectly suspended off of the edges of the dark green needles, and some where sliding right off of the bundles just like it didn't matter.
_____Needless to say, by the time Corona had found a cabin, she was a lot more than just damp. An overhead grumble of thunder with a gust of wind told her that another storm was about to roll in, so she simply took shelter in the old structure. She forced the door open and stepped inside, not even noticing anything off about the place until the musty air had settled and the first few drops of a hard cold rain had pelted the grime on the windows. She knew the smells that were in there and they were both a relief and yet of concern to her. It wasn't fresh, but Corona recognised it to be long to Laruku. Just one of many people she had wondered about recently. If he was around, there was a chance that Ahren and Jasper would be too.
____It answered one question, but left her with another.
