Leanna's meditation was troubled.  She couldn't quite focus herself the way she should.  Her hearbeat finally calmed it's racing and she got her breathing under control.  But her skin felt cool where the fresh healing magic had replaced all the burns, and her silken under robes pulled against her skin as it dried.  As she opened her eyes and looked out on the lake, she realized they weren't her 'under robes' any more.  After all, it was all she had to wear other than the white linen loincloth that lay moist under her bottom and against her sex as she sat in the lotus position.<br/><br/>She shook her head, now that was odd, why did she pay special attention to the way the loincloth was pressing against her body?  She decided to try and ignore it and get to work.  She scavenged around the edge of the lake, looking for a weapon of some sort.  She noticed that the air here was odd.  There was a fog, a mist, that blanketed the landscape.  It was a light mist, but it began to obscure everything that was more than a thousand yards away.  She could see mountains in the distance far to the north, but the landscape otherwise tended to vanish in the fog far off.  She couldn't even see the far side of the lake in any direction.<br/><br/>All around the lake was the strange purple grass.  It wasn't vibrant and bright though, it seemed dull and muted, though it felt as soft as grass she'd known.  There weren't many trees, and the ones that were growing nearby were thin and few taller than her.  Certainly none would have branches that would work for her needs.  There were also short scrubby bushes that had tiny pink berries on them, each the size of the tip of her pinkie finger.  She wondered if they were safe to eat, but didn't know enough about this world yet.  Luckily as part of her training as a priestess, she'd gone as much as a day at a time without eating, and was used to having only one meal a day.   Though that was when she was doing nothing but praying and reading, if she was going to hike about she should think about what she was going to eat while she was here.<br/><br/>Just as she was about to give up hope of finding anything to use, she happened across a tree that had come down.  It was thinner about than her wrist, but using her thick sandaled feet and some rocks, she managed to snap off the tree trunk so that it came to about her shoulders.  It was brittle and fragile, but it was something at least.<br/><br/>She looked up at the sun, a red blotch of light in the sky, and realized that it had moved since before she meditated.  Earlier it had been higher in the sky, but now it was closer to where she imagined the horizon to be.  She couldn't say for sure that it was the west, but at home the sun rose in the east and set in the west.  So there was no reason to think of it any other way.  So assuming that the sun was setting in the west, she moved off into the misty grassland off to the south west, away from the lake.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>She'd only been walking for maybe a half an hour when something caught her eye.  The grasslands were gentle rolling hills, smattered with scrub brush and the occasional small tree.  The further from the lake she went the taller the grass grew.  It also faded from purple to a more dusky brown with just a hint of purple.  It also got a little coarser, but not sharp or irritating.  Leanna stopped and turned around, unable to see the lake any longer as the strange mist blocked her view from it.<br/><br/>But she paused and looked down at the ground.  She poked her fingers into the ground and pondered.  She wasn't an expert tracker or a skilled survivalist, but she was observant, and it was obvious that she was looking at the tracks of a wagon.  The indentations in the ground were several inches wide and almost an inch deep as if whatever wagon had traveled this way was wide and heavy.  However the tracks ran almost parallel to the path she'd been traveling.  Maybe a little bit more north south, but they were either coming from the lake or heading towards it.  She couldn't tell.<br/><br/>She took a few minutes and poked around the dry scrabbley grass looking for more hints, and then gasped as she found them.  There were a few tracks in a part of dirt not covered by grass or rock.  There were hoof prints like that of a horse, though larger and wider, and then some weird print she couldn't identify... it looked like an animal print, but much larger, almost human sized.  More so, she could tell that the tracks were heading towards the lake, not away from it.<br/><br/>She pondered, a wagon meant some sort of civilization didn't it?  Would demons use wagons?  Then again maybe she would be better served avoiding the locals.  Her stomach grumbled slightly and she realized that the wagon owner might have edible food however, or at least be able to tell her how to find food.  But was it worth the risk?<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div
