I went into the Umbra. I don’t feel like going into very much detail, because I already have today. Maybe I will edit later and add in. Maybe not.

I was in my familiar woods, but not as Cougar. Everything was silent. There was nothing going on around me, not even any wind. I walked until the paths changed. It was as if the forest had grown and changed in between my visits. I thought that I kept seeing *something* throught this visit, but I couldn’t hear anything so I inored it because I am too proud or somthing. I dunno…

I came to the pool of water that I had seen the “spotted something” at before. I walked through the water to the other side, and continued on through the forests, not following any path. I came to a clearing that was small, but not tiny. In the middle was hole in the ground that looked about 6ft across, give or take. I walked towards it, and the noticed that the ground got wetter as I got closer to the hole until I was trudging through watery mud. I looked into the hole, but all I saw was black. I kept looking into what was presumably nothing, and a door started to materialize out of the black. i started to climb down, and felt something behind me, but couldn’t hear anything so I didn’t even bother to look around. I climbed down, and pulled the door open.

Eveything seemed to come alive. I looked behind me and saw that the spotted something was a lynx.

I asked it what its purpose was. It replied with “to watch.” I walked back to the pool, where there were tons of animals drinking. Even a zebra. They didn’t see me though. Lynx told me that it had been watching for a while, but I never see. I never hear the whisperings. I continued back to where I first started, and Lynx followed me. Keireh met me at the beginning, and took me inside her, changing me back into my cougar form. She told me to take this lesson into my heart because it was one that she could not teach me. I thanked the Lynx, who nodded, and then slinked off into the forest. Then I returned from the Umbra, and went to sleep.
