<br/>Vera walked quietly in the forest. The night seemed to drag on forever. She was asked to come to a kingdom, but somehow, that place seemed to be getting further and further. She sighed, and plopped down on the log. The tree must have been chopped down years ago, it was covered with plants.<br/><br/>The night was chilly, but nothing her cloak didn't fix. Her raven-colored hair was braided to the back her eyes wary studying the place, one can never be too careful. Like her great aunt used to say: "what may seem like nothing at all, may always, always turn to be the exact opposite of what it seems. Remember child, nothing is what it seems."<br/><br/>Vera thought her words as stereotypical and nothing of much importance, but a few things that happened to her in the past three years had taught her, that despite how her great aunt could really be a pain in the behind, and as stubborn as a mountain, the woman had her moments, and she definitely knew what she was talking about back then.<br/><br/>Ninjara her great white tigress gave her a low whimper placing her hand on Vera's lap. her blue eyes seemed rather exhausted. Ninjara was quite large, and more than once Vera rode her when the situation demanded it, the tigress packed some speed! But Vera hated doing that if she was in no hurry.<br/><br/>She placed a cold hand on the tigress's head. "there... your hungry aren't you my pretty?" she smiled slightly. The tigress closed her eyes. "Alright, alright, we'll start moving tomorrow." she assured her tired pet.<br/><br/>Vera closed her eyes and focused her energy around them. a few violet sparks appeared and vanished instantly, but a shield was built around them, protecting them from the dangers. "Darkness like mist provide us cover," she whispered, the element reacted instantly and mist grew thick, and foggy.<br/><br/>She let out a breath, and glanced at the earth underneath, the shield she cast was like a sphere. Covering them completely, even from under. Not even animals that lived on the ground could be able to harm them now.<br/><br/>She smiled at Ninjara, and slowly grass grew thick and green, good enough to lie on.<br/><br/>Upon resting her head, the young sorceress instantly fell asleep with thoughts of the path ahead of her.
