This time she was taking no chances. Lolita had Disillusioned herself before even leaving the castle. Even if her spell wavered for some reason, all anyone would be able to see of her was clothing. The extreme cold had forced her to cover every inch of herself with cloth except for her eyes, which she wore protective goggles over.

The Latina lit her wand nonverbally as she entered the forest in a different location this time. No need to trouble the acromantulas again, after all. Plunging ever further into the darkness, she walked on for a long time, forced to pause on several occasions so she could heat herself back up with her wand. After awhile, she noticed that the cold was becoming even that much more pronounced.

And that's when she saw what she had been looking for.

Startled and thrilled by the scene before her, her adrenaline spiked. The light from her wand flared brightly and sent up unintentional sparks, which were sure to be spotted from the castle if anyone happened to be looking out over the forest. But that was far from Lolita's immediate concern. Afraid, she turned and began to sprint back through the trees and away from what she was sure would have been extreme danger.

Once she was sure she was facing no imminent threat, a smirk crossed her face. Now she knew where to come back to. She wound her way through the forest and exited far from where she had entered. Checking to make sure she was still invisible, she crept back toward the castle.
