It was a beautiful day, birds chirped high in the luscious green trees and small wildlife scampered through the tall grass. It was a perfect day for Jezibelle to explore further than the teepee. The small usdia stepped out from under her covered area, still a bit sleepy from her early morning nap.
She slowly strolled westwards, not searching for anything in particular. The forest was sparse enough to let in large rays of sunlight, and it covered the floor in an array of shadows and light. There were flowers of every color here and there brightening up the green monotone. Jezibelle stopped to sniff a rose or two but otherwise kept walking at her patient gait.
After a while the colorful forest began to darken as the trees grew denser. The warm day cooled thanks to the new shade. There were less and less flowers in this area. Normally Jezi would be worried at this point but she had been here once before and knew there was nothing to be afraid of. Ahead she spotted the heavy thicket that seemed nearly impassable. But the usdia knew a secret, a small opening near a large thorny vine plant. It wasn't the easiest of spaces to get through but she managed to scrape by.
Inside the thicket was a glade seemingly misplaced by what Jezibelle had just walked through. Trees grew in a small circular shape that left a rare opening of light. Looking up she could see the azure sky and a stray cloud. It was a peaceful quiet here. She sat back on her haunches and enjoyed the silence.
