This place looked nothing like the city.

Lottie blinked, her head bobbing in every direction as she attempted to make sense of where exactly she'd ended up. Her perch was hard and stable, but nothing at all like the structures she happily nested in. It all felt too wide and open. And as she gazed far below, she noted that the craggy cliffs jutted out over a staggering mass of trees blanketing the ground. Never before could she remember seeing so many in one place.

Typically on occasions where she'd found herself somewhere far-off, she could navigate back to her home roost without fail; but this time, she wasn't so confident.

Would she have to settle on living here for now, she wondered. Seeing as there wasn't a single sign of human life, there was no telling how habitable this place would be. She had no clue where she'd find food or a proper nesting spot.

Just wonderful, she huffed, pausing to preen at her wing. But, at least I have a nice view from up here.
