The Mistwood was one such place she hadn’t quite visited yet, and true to it’s name it was, well, misty. So much so that, as she traversed the forest, Mao lost track of where she was going. Deciding to take refuge in a nearby cave until the paths were more visible, it didn’t take her too long to notice that it was already occupied.
