sorry for the delay!!
Sepirah was beginning to feel happier in Inferni - her new rank as Optio gave her more responsibility and more ways to help in the pack, more ways to be able to be accepted. And although some would never accept her truly, her meeting with Machidael not too long ago rejuvenated her spirits and heightened her emotions.
The northern parts of Ethereal Eclipse were drastically different, to her, from Inferni. Inferni did have some trees and forests, but they were less dense than the closely packed woods she was in now. The area lacked the moors and fields that Inferni claimed, and Sepirah wondered how anyone might see in such a thick woods.
She found herself, then, in a larger clearing, with a small stream running through it. It was a welcome change - she knelt down on her knees to sip from the stream. Her snake remained tucked away in her hair, seemingly sleeping.
