I've dragged these bones across the floor

Without Tallis at her side, Evangeline had wandered around The Rift aimlessly and blindly. With him flying overhead she could see what he saw -- the layout of the land, anyone that might be around, forests, beaches, potential danger. Now that it was just her she had to rely on her own senses to navigate a foreign land on her own. It was like she had been thrust back into her childhood and she was struggling to cope with the immense weight of loneliness, fear, and apprehension that plagued her with every step. Her late arrival also meant that she had no idea of what had been happening in The Rift. She had been absent when Hope had called everyone together to set them on the task of resurecting the gods that the Helovians had killed. Even if she had been present it was unlikely that she would choose to champion any particular god of her own accord. Every land that she had lived in had its gods. And every land had met its untimely end because of their shortsightedness, greed, bloodlust, or thirst for power. What would make these gods any different? What would make them avoid the path of corruption that every all powerful being seemed to travel down? Evangeline's wandering brought her to the north, a land she might have recognized as the Blood Falls that the God of Time had stolen had it not been covered in an endless sea of white snow. She moved carefully, picking her way through the thick snow until she came upon a trail left behind by someone before her. Her head lifted, emerald eyes looking in the direction the path led. Tallis would have been able to fly ahead and tell her who had left the trail, but without him she was left to rely on her own instincts, and those instincts told her to follow the trail. And so she did. The orange mare didn't know what or who she expected to find. She hoped that she would find someone from Helovia, someone who could offer a little but of comfortable familiarity, but was also prepared to be disappointed. When she spotted the white and black spotted stallion in front of her she was pleasantly surprised. Mauja? She had stayed in the Edge after the invasion of the Falls and had seen him take his position as leader. She had remained on as Moon Doctor even when he stepped down and Tembovu had taken over. Of course she knew who he was. Whether or not he knew her was another story entirely, but still he was from home. "Mauja?" She called out his name, hoping that she was correct that it was him and not someone that just looked like him. "." autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower
