She sets off to leave the Fort.

Vaesa, with a determined look sets off for the Gate, walking quickly and with purpose. As she nears the gate, she spots four guards manning the closed entrance to the Fort.

"Halt Miss, what are you on about?" Asks the lanky guard.

Vaesa, without missing a beat states. "Heading out, stand aside!"

The guard responds. "It's dangerous out there little Miss. Most folks don't venture out without a party."

Vaesa hesitates for only a moment. "I don't _need _a party." she trying to sound confident.

Her bravado must have been convincing because he motions for the gate to be opened. The other guards standing aside and quickly shutting the gates behind her as she exits into the forests.

The dark forest before her, Vaesa takes it all in. The almost black tree's the dark barely green and almost black leaves, the prodigious red vines that seem to be everywhere all tell her that she is not somewhere familiar. Not wanting to go too deeply before nightfall, Vaesa makes her way around the side of the Fort, just inside the treeline enough to not be seen from inside the fort. Various sounds can be heard both near and far. Her training in the forests of the shattered kingdom did nothing to prepare her for this environment. The tree's are too different, the foliage, the sounds... Who is to even say that the same types of creatures populate these forests as the ones back home? Vaesa is deep in thought as she finds a small clearing. Thinking its as good a spot as any to setup a campsite, she begins to unpack her things.

After a few hours long, she has enough kindling gathered that she has started a nice fire. She has food from her pack spread out and is roasting some beets over the fire for dinner as she leans back against a tree stump. The day has been long, hard even having to deal with so many humans. Tomorrow will be better. She'll be able to explore, to Scout the area around the For and let the Humans nearby know just what an elf is capable of, even on the frontier.
