Leanna Ina stood up shakily, grabbing her backpack. What she felt now, more than anything, was fear. The palisade on the side of the lake, oppressive in its mysteriousness, made her feel self-conscious more than anything else did. She felt like she was being watch, and it scared her. She had to get out of here, had to go somewhere where she knew she would be alone, so she could take stock of her options.<br/><br/>She started forward, almost tripping over wobbly feet, and broke into a run, trying to get to a nearby patch of trees she saw. At least she wouldn't be as visible to anyone in the palisade. She got within the safety of the trees, and then fell back against one, sinking to the ground in exhaustion and disbelief. She'd been so prepared, and now she felt helpless. No clothes, no food, no spells. That was the worst part. No spells. And why had she been feeling so aroused all of a sudden?

The first thing to do was to meditate - she needed to have a clear mind.<br/><br/>She put her backpack next to her, folded her legs, brushed some soaked clumps of golden hair out of her face, and closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind as she'd done countless times before. It was harder, but she finally got it to work, and meditated for a good hour before she felt more calm. By then, her underrobes had dried slightly in the warm air, though they still clung to her damp pale body. Her next plan of action was to find some sort of weapon. She knew she would have tough luck finding anything serious, but she made do with a large broken branch, as wide across as her arm, that could double as a walking stick.<br/><br/>Finally, she needed to find a place to make a campsite. An out of the way place. She checked to make sure she had enough water, and then headed out, away from the lake, making sure to remember which direction the lake was. The lake was her ticket home - she had to get her talisman back eventually...
