Just as Chessa had taken the first couple steps a figure had moved around the tree the large trunk had hidden the being well and she had stumbled back a few steps noticing the small flame as it danced. "I'm running from nothing, I'm simply returning home." She said with her normal defiant tone. "How does that not burn you?" she asked already having  a feeling that the being before her was an Elder one, true as it was, it wasn't as if there were many left but the few that had, were strong enough to out live the rest.  She was doing no more than looking for  simple confirmation to the threat or not, If there was no threat she would simply be able to continue her run home, however if there was a threat she would end up having to prove that she wasn't as weak as her small form showed.
