"That's good.  Maybe I could sell my artworks aswell to get more should we ever need it.  I have my wood carving tools with me." she said with a smile.

"That would be a good idea. While I'd rather survive on what nature gives me, we'd have a better time about it if we used the human's currency system to our advantage," she nodded, "There will likely be a decent amount of demand for the carvings."

"Hopefully.  But I might have to be mute since I don't think I'd be able to speak to them correctly.  But I can write it just fine." she said with a sigh.

"Luckily, their speach structure is the same as ours, though a bit less specific when it comes to casual speach. So long as you don't sounds high and mighty, they'll accept you as one of them," she said, dodging around a limb, "Unless they as for something specific, try to be as general as you can when speaking."

"I'll try to remember..." she said with a smile.

"Try not to lapse into another language either.. They seem to not take too kindly to being spoke to in a language they don't understand," she said as they reached the edge of the forest, "We'll need to find a nice hidden place to diguise ourselves."

She nodded.  When they reached the border, she stopped just before the barrier and swallowed nervously.  She was going to leave her forest for the first time in her life, and she was a bit nervous that something might happen in her absence.  But she took a tentative step forward outside.  "I am of no help outside of here, but I might be able to find somewhere..."

"We could dig ourselves a small den to use as a home. This first human settlment will likely be a hub for our travels seeing as it sits in the middle of this island. If we didn't have to be disguised, we could fly there in half the time it take to walk there, but human towns and settlements have people tasked with watching the area around them for threats and creatures worth taming. Those watchers then report their findings to guards who act of that information," she said, "I say it's a good idea to dig out a den because it can get rather uncomfortable sleeping while disguised."

"I would agree.  I'll start on it then." she said before digging in the ground at an angle.

"This will do until we can get closer to the humans. We'll work on making a better place to stay once we've established a foothold in the settlments," she said, rolling out a grass green mat over the den's entrance after stepping in herelf, "Don't dig out too uch as this will only serve as a place to digues ourselves."

"Alright." she said, finishing digging out what she started.  

"So, do you mind telling me a little more about yourself," Ahnah asked, sitting down, "I'm just a little curious about you. You seem so different from other people of nature."

"What do you want to know?" she asked, laying down next to one of the walls, facing Ahnah.

"I want to know what your life was like before meeting Frost and Mayumi. Where have you been? Who have you met," she asked, stretching before sitting down herself, "I've told you where I'm from, and we'll be going to several places I've been to in the past. I just think it might help us understand each other more."

(This gets long...)

"Before I met Frost and Mayumi, my life was decent.  But farther back, before I met Konoki, life was horrid.  I woke up in a forest on my first day of life and noticed that there was no one was there for me, waiting.  So for the first year I wandered, looking for them and wondering where they had gone.  In that time, I had to search for my own food and find my own shelter.  Then one day, a dragon found me and thought that I was weak and didn't needto live.  He then basically beat me up and left me for dead.  I thought myself dead as well.  I couldn't get up, my sight was foggy and I was laying in a liquid that I later found out to be my own blood.  

Next thing I know is I'm laying underneath a tree, bandaged and well.  I could see and I could move.  Many creatures were there nearby, watching me, waiting to see if I'd be alright.  They helped me to get better and it was only a while later that I began to walk around.  Then Willow told me about what they had done to keep me alive and had shown me the flower.  She told me of what I had to do to keep living, and I tried hard.  But my leg had never healed properly, so I was unable to hunt accurately and could never get enough food.  

Eventually I was taken in by the Cockatrices and was adopted by the alpha.  But I didn't belong there and they knew it.  I was crippled and couldn't help in anything which made quite a few of them agry.  A few of the young ones would bully me, and being as young as I was, I had no one to turn to except my adoptive father.  Though he would punish them and would treat me wonderfully, I was never happy.  Then there came a time when the humans came and took everyone away.  He hid me and told me not to leave that spot.  

I had never felt so helpless in my life.  So out of place, so useless.  I saw him slain with my own eyes, along with all the others that attacked the hunters and refused to be captured.  Long after they had gone, I had left my place and surveyed everything.  Everything I had known for about half a year was gone, nothing except dead bodies were left.  So I had to move on.  

I refused to eat or drink for the longest time until I was then taken in by the Pumas.  But that family had seen how thin and fearful I was about living with another.  But from there, things got better.  I started being taught how to fight, to fly, to run.  Eventually when they couldn't teach me anything else, they would show me another family and I would continue to learn.  But I never got to play or have fun because I always felt out of place with everything.  

I also began to help others and refused to think for myself.  I refused to remember anything, especially my past.  But there would be times when Iwas able to play because the leaders would tell me to enjoy myself.  

Konoki changed everything and showed me everything that all my other adoptive fathers hadn't done.  As I waswith him and his tribe, I learned to be one of them.  I had never had a mother, always only a father because everyone refused to get close to me for their own sakes. They didn't want to make it harder for me, changing everything.  I became more bold, and I became stronger.  

But asI found my powers and those got stronger as well, spirits and the rogues found me more and more.  Eventually I had to leave Konoki and his group because it was getting so frequent.  I still stayed in contact with him, but I also had to fighgt for myself just to keep my powers and everything.

Then one day, one of the dragons found me and everything got better.  I had thought I was forgotten, but that thought was proven wrong.  Now I am the happiest than I've ever been.

I'vebeen through tougher times than everyone else, but if I hadn't I wouldn't have been able to save so many lives." she said.  "That's my life story.  I've never really left the forest..."
