Tallow didn't like what did the signs around her were saying. Thunder out there, somewhere in the distance wasn't a pleasant sound to hear. It meant that a storm was coming. And it's was going to be painful. Tallow cringed a little, thinking of rain, hitting her skin and grew determined to find herself a place to hide from the upcoming nastyness. The colors were slowly losing their colour with clouds gathering around.
She was going through a rather open section of a hill. Tree stumps were scattered around and not a single one of them look like someone sane would have cut it. They were broken off at random heights, some of them entirely out of the ground, just lying on the surface. This road was a really great find, for anyone would have a really difficult time setting up an ambush. Despite that, the danger of rain of arrows was still present, especially with the glow around her, making it easy to spot her. And one had to be careful, for whoever it was ruined most of the forest in this area, must have weighed a ton.
It thundered really loudly, right besides her. She could even see the lightning bolt, hitting the ground several hundred meters in front of her. The bold stunned her for a moment and the droplets of water, that sizzled once they touched her woke her up. Every single drop of rain that hit her skin made her feel as if it was raining nails or needles. She gasped and started running, with the power that she still had in her. It was a numbing feeling and she had lost conscious understanding of what was happening, and yet, she still ran.
When Tallow got back to her senses, she was hiding under a fallen tree, which had some protection from the rain, so much where she could actually endure it. She closed her eyes for a moment, but just before, she noticed something down a steepish slope. There was a bonfire lit and several undeads around it. 'Only undead gathers 'round a bonfire.' she thought. 'So the rumour was true. That undead started gathering at Lokri's Castle, trying to break the curse.' She snickered and looked down at the ruins of the settlement nearby. From her position and with dark surrounding, she couldn't see much, but there were several dim lights moving around in the far ends of the settlement. She gave up trying to see anything in the settlement, trying to focus on the bonfire down the slope. She noticed four people by the bonfire. 'Preying on humanity, aren't you?' she whispered to herself.
Because of the rain and the shock she just went through, she has forgot she and her clothes gave of a dim glow, and in pure darkness, she was pretty eye-catching.
