Rosetta Green Thorn
When I bleed everyone feels my pain
Scanning her surroundings it didn’t take her long to realize the direction she was heading. The darkness and death of the forest made it quite clear. These was still a slight comfort in the dark parts of the forest, the fact that much grow, meant not much lived. A rose could easily allow her thorns to take over and not worry about many strangers lurking about, still Rosetta knew this was far from the case there was little chance of her staying in the darkness of this side of the world for long.
The wind whipped around her. Her hair an entangled mess of dried mud, dead grass and other small forms of nature moved furiously around her. The forest was attached to her, from her head to her toes, as though she had bathed in the soil itself. This was what happened when one became one with nature, hiding in the depth to avoid any kind of civilization.
Her clothing were stolen from her last visit to Solera, though the clothing looked like only rags torn from either climbing, hunting or the forests countless thorn-filled bushes. To all who may lay eyes on her now would believe she was an innocent lost traveler someone who knew nothing about the forest she traveled and to the point of starvation. Rosetta however was far from it.
Rosetta had grown fond of nature, although a beautiful feminine creature herself, she rarely ever had reason to dress the part. There was no reason to look nice around trees and dirt. The mud would cover your clothing be they made of the softened materials and the most appealing colors, or the scratchiest of fabrics made from the hideous color imaginable.
Rosetta carried the only belongings she truly owned. Her old sword, rusted from age. The sword was the only thing she had on her from her first memories of the world. On her back she had a small one strapped bag, the other had fallen off. This bag held everything she needed to survive, a few carving knives, flint for starting fires and a tin of water.
The forest was long and appeared never ending, she could tell which way she was heading by how the forest thinned.
The only thing great about darkness was the millions of places you could hide in it. The bad thing about it was all the places others could hide as well. Rosetta knew that this side of the world was filled with evil, though to her both sides posed a large threat to her. She enjoyed living in the greener side, the Solera side, but there was too much movement lately. Something was stirring over there, and like the animals, she was forced to move from the small camp she had made.
The sun was setting with little time for a camp to be set, the smell of rain made it clear there was no use in stopping to make a fire, though the night air made her wish for warmth. Her hand made its way to her blade as her allowed her ears to take over. Darkness only became scary if you couldn’t see what lurked in it, but Rosetta could hear far better than an average human and in her many years of living she found that in hearing you could determine a lot about your pray, or the hunter.
Though as an hour past by Rosetta lost her focus, only listening to the calmness of the rain, her hand still laid on her sword but her grip had lightened. She hummed a soft tune and her eyes stayed closed as she allowed herself to glide over the land with her ears as her only form of guidance.
