"Hyah?!"

Flora barely had time to let out a surprised squeak as she was suddenly hoisted into the air, and for a moment wondered if she was about to die as the world whirled around her and blurred before suddenly finding herself on Ashte's shoulders. For a few moments she was completely baffled as to what happened to her, though the War Goddess and the Sun God's words caught her attention again.

"Mmm... um... the forest is a little difficult, but I remember these trees..." she said, glancing around for a few moments as she lightly held onto one of Ashte's horns with one hand.

"... This way," she said after a moment, pointing ahead, through a thick grove of foliage. Above it some smaller ribbon-like flying creatures drifted, though they slipped further between the trees if approached, their larger brethren still lazily soaring above.

The orange-furred creatures on the tree seemed to be watching the deities carefully, warily, as if uncertain as to the nature of these newcomers to their forest.

And then, just within sight, a gaggle of strange grey creatures walked from the trees. There were at least a dozen, most of them perched on four long, slender legs taller then any of the assembled deities. Three of their number were smaller, but had the same general anatomy. Their bodies were compact, with stout necks and blunt, rounded heads with large orange eyes and small round ears. They came to a halt ahead, near a large, lush grouping of bushes, what looked like lengthy tongues extending from the underside of their heads to shear leaves from the branches and gather them into what was presumably some form of mouth beneath the head.

It was likely their journey through the forest would not continue with encountering other creatures.
