Sunrise.<br/><br/>Dawn emerged from the large, hollow oak she’d used as shelter for the night. The opening hadn’t been very large, and she’d spent a bit of time piling loose branches and sticks in front of it as a sort of camouflage. In the darkness, it was hard enough to make out the opening in passing. Still, there were creatures that wouldn’t have any trouble finding her. She’d been lucky.<br/><br/>She put her hand against the tree, grey eyes flashing as she listened to the sounds of the forest around her. It was never safe, even though the chirping of the birds told her otherwise. She smiled slightly; she’d managed to avoid anything too dangerous, and Arebion couldn’t be very far by now.<br/><br/>Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes. The ghost of a cry on the breeze? She bit her lip. A trick, or...? She gathered her robes and raised the dark hood over her head, peered around one last time, and began to run.<br/><br/>Sure enough, the cries only got louder as she grew closer. But they weren’t just cries of panic, now. The girl was having sex. Or at least<i>being</i>sexed. And by the sound of it, it was pretty amazing. Flushing a little, she quickened her pace.<br/><br/>By the time she arrived, the moans had stopped completely. She glanced around, but couldn’t see any sign of the girl that had been making them. That was odd. What she<i>did</i>see, though, were pixies. Lots of them. And a man. And a Ramen. And a... well, she didn’t really know. An almost naked ash-demon woman. She shrugged. It didn’t look like she had been making those sounds.<br/><br/>Face mostly hidden by her hood, she looked at the Ramen wrapped in roots, to the pixies, and back again. “I don’t suppose there’s a girl around here?” she said, as if what she were seeing weren’t at all strange. It didn’t seem she was addressing anyone in particular. “I thought I heard one.” She furrowed her brow. She wasn’t sure what was going on. It didn’t look like the Ramen was there of his own will, but there<i>was</i>a rather large bulge in his pants. And the pixies didn’t seem to be<i>doing</i>anything.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
