Her head turns as the island begins to shudder, it sends shivers to the shore and moves trees as though they are mere toys. Then, as quickly as it started, the world falls back to stillness. Avdotya’s expression twists into a look of confusion and her wild, blazing eyes lift towards the eternal sun - she wonders what it is the gods are doing. It is that curiosity that leads her to follow the hoof prints that appear inexplicably in the sand, trekking into the dense forest through root and vine.
Each step is carefully placed, though her attentiveness is not entirely needed. The path below is already worn down well enough by the hooves of those who had passed before her, all eager to reach what lay at the end of the trail.
Avdotya got there just as the first horse pushed towards the centre of the meadow; she could only briefly catch a glimpse of the relic many sought, as it was blocked by the bodies of the many that followed shortly after. Some rushed, pushing to be the first to reach the object. Others - like herself - hung back, watching quietly to see if it was death that awaited the overzealous.
Indeed, she was content to stride casually towards the relic. Surely it was more than a matter of simply taking the damned thing.
Avdotya is staying~
