She found herself at the forest, the seventeen year old biting her lower lip as she gripped the straps to her backpack tightly. She was small, only five feet in height, her mind racing slightly as her bright blue eyes skimmed over the mangled, gnarled trees. "Come on Rea, you can do this, it's just a hike..." She muttered to herself, her eyes falling on the mist as she began following a path that the trees were beginning to take back. She was a bit scared, but her curiosity was stronger.<br/><br/>"You remembered your broom, right?" She questioned herself as she glanced over her shoulder, a handmade, dark wooden broom catching her eye as it rested, tucked behind her bag. "If you encounter wolves, just jump on your broom, you'll be alright." She sighed as she moved a few strands of waist length black hair from her face, those strands were loosely tied back into a large brain that fell from her left shoulder currently. She knew she could do this, this wouldn't be that bad of a hike. She could get to that castle. But what would happen when she got there? Would she find it empty, or with someone there? The small, slender witch knew she would find those answers when she got there, for now, she had to focus on the forest.<br/><br/>Every noise around her seemed to make her jump, every gust of wind seemed colder than the last. Even the sky overhead seemed to darken, threatening to dump either rain or heavy snow. She pulled the light weight black jacket she wore around her tighter, the dark fabric contrasting against her fair skin. She was always the type to stay in and study, to play violin and listen to music. She loved flying, but currently, it would be used as an emergency only travel. She wanted to see what those lost souls saw when they traveled these woods. Her dark brown hiking boots tapped against the hard earth and twisted roots, branches brushing against the light blue jeans she wore, the fabric tucked into her boots. That was when she heard the first howl. Her eyes widened as she grabbed her broom, deciding she wouldn't wait and see if it was a wolf or not, as she took off flying, her eyes focused ahead as she bit her lower lip, her eyes soon focused on the mangled gate as she came to a stop, landing as she pushed it open, closing it behind her. "Well, the first parts done..." She said, her eye on the decaying castle before her.
