Running to the forest, the nameless slave took on the identity of "Kuriel," a name very unlike any she'd ever used, and less likely to be tracked to her. She traded for a bow, which she had learned well how to use when among the Alar, and was able to feed herself reasonably well while in the northern forest. She made a campsite, hunted, protected herself, and mostly just regained her joy of life. She'd been squashed under her last owner, relegated to unwanted nothingness, but with the sharp edge that survival brought out, she became the vibrant Tuchuk tiger once more.
After a hand or two of caring for herself and thrilling in the freedom of the forest, she bundled up what trade goods she's acquired through her hunting to visit the exchange point on the Laurius. She needed to trade for various items that hadn't been necessity in her initial flight, and it was time to see to that.
However, when she arrived at the LEP, she heard rumors about a warrior's runaway slave, and a slaver that was out looking for her. Her heart stopped in her chest. There was no way to know if it was Kithran and his slaver friend from Treve, but he wuld have an idea just how crafty and resourceful she was. She booked passage with a boat captain that agreed to take her to Asperiche, despite her intense fear of boats, and fled before the warrior or slaver could come snooping around the forest.
