Xuna’s Journey (Part 2)

Xuna couldn't make heads or tails of the place she was at, for the dense foliage prevented her from gazing at the sky. Moreover, the tree growth expanded into the lake, preventing any open space for her to stand and stare at the sky.

At least, by relying on the stars that she could make out in the nighttime, she might be able to figure out the direction of her home. As a spy, she was capable of this.

But, the only area that wasn't covered by the tree foliage was above the lake. And that wasn't feasible to approach due to the terrifying school of fish living within.

Moreover, she couldn't even go deeper into the forest, for after a couple dozen metres, it got dangerously dark.

At least, around the shore, the sunlight managed to seep in thanks to the reflection from the lake.
