Deciding to press on east, Cait Sith heads towards the trees he sees that way.

query... did Cait already explore (albeit briefly) the grassy hills he saw to the west?

That's where Zhang Bao put the smack down on you.
And speaking of him.... As you walk down the path you notice hoof marks which are also headed in this direction. You can't tell how long they have been here...


At first the wood is made up of small trees and brush. As you continue to explore, the trees get taller and larger, and the space between them widens...
 

Keeping his ears open as well as his eyes, Cait Sith scans, not only the ground, but the branches of the trees.

As he walks he tries to head more or less down hill the whole time.
 

Cait is struck by the twisted beauty of the place. The trees rise majestically but are somehow perverted and agressive. The air is musty, although an occasional breeze picks up.

Cait feels as though he is walking through an ancient forest that has existed long before and will exist long after himself.

On the wing of the wind Cait smells a strangely soothing and attractive scent. It is like the most deep rose and most sweet honey.

Cait finds himself walking without thinking, to explore the enchanting scent...
 

With that part of his mind that is aware there is magic at work, Cait tries to fight the enchantment, but even if he is successful in resisting, he still tries to find the source of the scent.
 

Cait struggles to his senses, but he still finds the scent enchanting. He is aware of danger but still extremely curious as to the source of the scent.

As he walks forward the scent gets stronger. The wind stops, almost as though he were inside instead of out. Ahead, he sees a clearing... the scent issues from it.
 

As cautiously as he can manage under the influence of the smell, Cait Sith approaches the clearing. He also searches about for something besides the scent to focus his attention on.
 

Ahead of Cait there lies a small grove rising into a hill. The trees surrounding it appear to be huge oaks of some kind. The sunlight streaks through the gaps in the branches.

On the hill, Cait sees a few small menhir stones jutting out from the hill. At the base of the hill sits a large sunflower which is surrounded with large leaves. The odour eminates from the plant.
