Char name: Kalysta Valle
How long in Lore: Since birth
RP:
Kalysta hadn't intended to travel so far, but she'd gotten a little lost. She didn't think her cousin would disappear like that. She'd been (mostly) minding her own business when she heard Jacy pass by, and it seemed so unfair that he could so easily leave the territory while she was trapped there, so she followed him. She intentionally hung back, but it turned out she let him get too far ahead of her, because when she slowed down to focus more on placing her feet he vanished. Now she was stuck away from home and didn't even know which direction she'd come from.
Kal thought she could find it. She walked in what she thought was the right direction based on which direction the faint shadows leaned, but in the end she thought she must be walking in circles. After that she walked aimlessly. Or spent days resting, or trying to sneak up on weird smells, or playing in the river when she came across it. She was careful to avoid fast-moving water which was fortunately loud enough to warn her away. She was really having fun, learning to navigate a strange world and what different things smelled and sounded like, but she was really starting to get hungry. And she missed her dad.
Finally, finally, after she didn’t even know how long, she smelled it. The familiar tang of still water and her family. Kalysta let out a triumphant call. She was home and she’d found it all by herself.
