Seren arrived to consciousness like swimming up from a deep well. She began registering the sounds around her; the birds brave enough to weather the cold were chirping a good morning to the mountains ahead, the trees were swaying slightly in a breeze, causing a sound much like a rushing stream.
Opening her eyes, Seren begins taking in the sites around her. Above lay the tent fabric, waving slightly in the same breeze that drove the trees. To her side lay the ground, on which she had practiced drawing glyphs last night in the dirt, the strange symbols still giving off some kind of strange power. She allowed the fabric of her blanket to slide off of her legs, and pulled on her clothes.
Still somewhat asleep, Seren stepped out of the tent, her gnosis preventing her from shivering from the early morning mountain air. The remains of her cooking fire still lay in her makeshift fire pit, but she had cleaned up the leftovers and scraps of dinner with Voiding, the first ever task she had actual used it for.
Concentrating on finding that strange twist of logic that she was still unfamiliar with, Seren formed a circle with both her hands and said, "Daeqat!" Finally, an empty circle formed in front of her outstretched hands. She concentrated on widening it, causing it to grow to about the size of the palm of her left hand before losing concentration. The portal fizzled out, ending with a strange "pop."
With a small feeling of slight satisfaction at having formed another portal, Seren began packing up her tent, planning to eat from her rations on the way, since she was so close to the city borders at this point.
