It was a long day, and a longer hike. Saira's legs were starting to get really lean and toned from all of this exploring, all of this mapping. It was still afternoon as she wandered down the trail heading back towards the school campus, her walking stick pushing her along the ground as she went. The girl was, this time, in a simple green blouse with a modest beige skirt... She was somewhat getting tired of losing all her favorite clothes!

The underbrush of the forest wasn't gone yet, and there was still the chance that someone was lurking there, waiting... or maybe just happening along. Saira expected a monster, really. But she didn't expect anything else...
