She stood on the edges of the forest her long black hair rippling in the wind. A single tear ran down her cheek as she looked back towards the guarded limestone arch, beyond which her old life lay. She knew her destiny.<br/>Her nimble hands took hold of her hood and pulled it loosely over her head as she walked step by step through the dense, dark woods. The night concealed her from human eyes but she knew so much more lay dormant here, and would see her if she got too close.<br/><br/>She stepped carefully, her weapons of choice close to hand, her stance tense and strong, she wasn't alone.
