Her senses would prove to be useful as it alerted her to dark presences on both paths deep in the forest. It was more than likely that they belonged to dark forces that was responsible for the demise of her comrades and the destruction of her home that she knew for all her life. And their presence there was only for one thing, to seek out any survivors of the massacre and kill them.  She could risk taking either path, and hope to bring down some of those dark creatures... scoring a minor revenge for her fallen kin.<br/><br/>Alternatively, she could take a safer route through the undergrowth heading south or hacking through the deeper foliage towards the northeast. Both paths would probably ensure that she might not encounter any dark creatures and bring her one step closer towards Holmgard.
