A burst of energy spreads through her veins as her uneasiness turns to excitement and intrigue. After all, Estraeah set out today seeking adventure, and the universe has provided! She clutches tight on the strap of her bag and rushes forward, expertly avoiding sticks and brambles in her path. Her closely-shaven brown hair is immune to getting snagged in branches and thorns, making the trek much easier.
Estraeah begins to pant as she races between the trees, the sounds guiding her down a path she does not usually follow. They grow steadily louder, to the point where she can nearly make out clear words, before stopping.
As she crests a hill, she comes upon her destination. The people are nowhere to be seen. She did not even hear the sound of movement as she approached. It is as if they were never there. A pool of water, perfectly round and about six feet across, lies before her instead. The water is so still and clear that she can see the smooth pebbles at the bottom. Behind it is the dark opening of a cave. The sight is utterly unfamiliar to Estraeah.
