Oh, the figure was approaching quickly. Celeste could sense it from within her being. She could feel the figure’s wariness directed at she, the newcomer. Immediately a sense of dread grew in her stomach, was she not welcome here? She didn't like to intrude, but she had been so sure that this place was abandoned. But there was nothing she could do but show herself, and let the creature know she meant no harm; she traveled here only to protect herself.
Ice blue eyes snapped to attention and studied the bird - was it an eagle? Yes, that seemed correct. But an inward sense told her to take this creature for more than it appeared, for who was to say it was just a bird? Nervously, she stood with perfect balance facing the bird.
The wariness from the eagle was almost, but then something else evolved, it felt like concern. It warmed her, relaxed her tense muscles just a bit. Perhaps she was becoming paranoid, this bird didn't seem to mean her harm.
"Please excuse me," she spoke quietly and melodically. Her voice cracked from lack of use, and red colored her cheeks in humiliation. "I came to this forest in order to escape, I was sure I could be secluded here. If I knew others were around, I wouldn't have landed."
She started and then blinked, threading a graceful pale hand through her blonde hair. "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Celestial Ange, or just Celeste," she introduced with a small curtsey.
Then she felt another form approach, this one a wolf. And it seemed by the way these two creatures met each other, they were on friendly terms. That was reassuring, and she shot a shy smile at the pair of them.
And yet, there seemed to be another one creature around. Celeste could sense her - for it was a female, and a canine of sorts. And she felt familiar, although not too sure of what that could mean.
She wasn't a threat though, at least from what Celeste could sense. Let her keep her peace, and let her know Celeste didn’t represent any harm.
