By now Ha Neul had gotten used to this maze like forest. She even had made a sort of game for herself every time she entered here, testing how long it took her each time to finally exit this place, and seeing if she could beat her previous time. She remembered her first visit to this place. All had seemed hopeless at that time, and a fate doomed to eternal wandering seemed eminent. Yet she had not been fated so, thankfully through fortunate series of events. Now was her third visit to this forest, and although she still often got lost here, it was nothing compared to her first visit her. After discovering her way out of the forest the first time, she began to understand more about how this place worked, and how to escape it. There was no longer that same hopelessless or anxiety of eternal wandering like the first time.
There were certainly a multitude of strange and unusual things in this forest, most of which she was sure she still hadn't discovered yet. However, compared to the open road, this area did seem much more safer in it's own way. Few travelers dared to enter this area, unless they were as naive and uneducated of the land as she had been upon her first arrival, and therefore it was quite rare to come across dangerous bandits waiting to rob you at any given moment, compared to the open road. People were so rarely seen here, that there was hardly anything to rob. Furthermore, if anyone did manage to rob anything, they generally weren't able to escape the forest in order to enjoy their gain anyways. In addition, if one managed to find a nice tree branch with good enough leaf covering, or a nice hiding place on the ground, sleeping also was rather safe here compared to the open road.
She strolled casually through the forest, both hands behind her head, as if they were a pillow, her feet lightly snapping twigs and crushing leaves as she strolled through. Suddenly, from a distance, for a split second, she could have sworn she saw a blue light somewhere on the ground. However, it almost immediately disappeared shortly after she'd thought she seen it. She rose a curious eyebrow. Had it simply just been a moment where her mind decided to play a trick on her? It seemed to do that quite often, especially in this place. Still, with a ignited curiosity, she began to edge closer to where she had seen the light.
