Before leaving the Skyglow Hold, Sera let her hair down, out of the braid she had it in before. Her hair fell in front of her, thick curly waves of dark. She parted it and separated it to both sides of her head, then put the hood of her cloak up and tied it tight. It looked like a mess, but it would at least keep her ears warm. Her charm necklace hung out of her cloak, like always. The cold wouldn't bother her so much, it would just be the wind. It always messed with her hearing. Her eyes glimmered a brilliant green as she moved outside and ran down one of the trails, holding her cloak up as not to trip on it.
Her boots left distinguishing prints in the snow as she moved onto the side of the trail and up into one of the snow banks, looking every direction before sliding down the other side of the bank. Wrinkling her nose, Sera got up and jumped back into the trail, slightly annoyed with the weather. It wasn't exactly clear, but that was mostly the wind to blame. She wasn't too sure what she was doing, either, which didn't help things. Was it just a midnight walk? Was there some other reason? Suddenly she heard something from behind her. She turned on her heals to find a cat sitting in the snow watching her. Sera tilted her head to the side, watching the animal.
"Well hello there!" She said, half smiling. "What are you doing out here by yourself?" She glanced around. "Or are you not by yourself?" Her eyes darkened as she scanned the area, not seeing anyone too close. "Well you could come with me, if you wanted! I'm just hoping to find something. Don't know what yet, but something." When she looked back to where the cat had been, the small animal was gone. She frowned.
"Am I hallucinating?" She asked herself and began waving her hands in front of her face. It was at that exact moment when she fell back, losing her balance from the wild hand gestures and landed right on her butt. Definitely not one of her graceful moments.
Instead of getting up and dusting herself off, she decided to make a snow angel. So she laid back and began moving her arms and legs to create the form in the snow.
