The moon had reared its pale head once again, casting a soft glow upon this woodish patch of land. Izumi had just returned from hunting, managing to snag a nicely sized quail before dusk hit. The area was suprisingly populated with the lot of them, and it gave the crane a bit of relief to know there were some well-rounded hunting spots here. She didn't know how long she'd be settling here before she eventually dispersed, but it would be wise for her to use this to her advantage until then. Arriving at her makeshift bed of foliage and grasses, Izumi plopped herself onto her haunches with a poof, dropping the quail carcass to her feet.
A sigh came to her lips.
Where would she go from here?
Eventually, she would need to seek a form of stability before even thinking about bring the Dynasty back -- but would she join a group, in that case? Many of the groups she knew were long gone, from what she discovered while trekking towards the woodlands, and she knew not of any others. That would have to change one of these days if she planned on moving forward with her plan. For now, the crane sought comfort by her lonesome. Asking around for family and FD members would come soon after. This world was large, but her paws had taken her longer distance before.
Izumi's train of thought was cut short, however, when she'd noticed rustling in the nearby bushes. Her hackles instinctively bristled, and her head snapped around her neck to inspect who had arrived...
