She was having that dream again.
She was standing in a forest clearing, the paved path she was on coming to a crossroads.
A wooden sign with a painted arrow pointed towards the middle path, still paved and faintly lit by the full moon.
To her right, a dirt path disappearing between the trees. In the darkness, she heard a distant owl hoot, or perhaps it wasn't distant at all?
To her left, rocky and dangerous, the path leads up towards a mountain, and she couldn't help but wonder what's beyond that mountain.
A wolf howl drew her attention back towards the middle path. Instead of feeling scared, she felt calm, and safe. The wolf's howl was reminiscent of home, and she stepped forward, towards it.
