Then without further ado...
After several weeks of flying, Terra came upon a place where the climate was to her liking. Mexico. The first few days of her time spend living her life alone went well. She slept in in the of the abandoned houses and sustained herself by drinking bottled water and canned food stolen from shop.
Things however, quickly took a turn for the worse. One day as Terra came back from a walk though the jungle, she was shocked to see that people had returned to the settlement she had stayed at. Seeing this, she never returned there. Instead, she settled a in system of caverns deep within the jungle.
Getting drinking water wasn't difficult, as the caverns had a sweet water spring deep down. Acquiring food, however, proved troublesome, as she didn't know what was edible and what was not. This resulted in her being poisoned on several occasions, and although she was able to flush the toxins out of her body with her magic, the several times she was poisoned and overall bad diet took a toll on her health.
Her nails grew brittle, her hair haggard and matted and her skin somewhat pale. Overall, a very unhealthy look, reflecting her new lifestyle. Despite the hardships, Terra persisted, believing herself to be better off this way. Through days of hunger and extremely hot summers, not once did she considder rejoining civilisation.
As the years passed, the names and faces of her former friends faded from Terra's memory, leaving only the feeling of betrayel and absolute resentment.
