บท 246: A Tale Through Ages, Part 1

The night sky never reached here. It never had. Here was unlike many places she's ever been.

And she's been to too many.

Here in this forest, the trees loomed high, higher than most mountain summits, soaring through the clouds even… that rarely even in an open sky could you ever see their peak. A ceiling, a roof of thick branches and even thicker leaves, and an eternal pitch darkness right below it. 

The perfect hiding place. If only she had thought of it sooner, found it sooner.

This place rarely ever receives any visitors, and there was no reason it should - to any human, to any demon, to any flightless being, it was just an awfully dark forest with gigantic trees growing much higher than they should be. 

But to her, it was home. At least… for decades now. There were other places that were also home to her for much longer than that. 

Hopefully, this place would stay as a home for much longer than that.
