Eurydice started running as fast as her legs could carry her; her feet practically flying over the ground as she sped off towards the forests. The trees were calling to her, ringing out in the clear night sky, beckoning for their daughter to return to them. As she ran, Eurydice ripped off the expensive brooch that was tied to her shoulder, pulling off the jewelry Orpheus had given her. It scattered on the ground like remnants of a lifetime she didn't remember and no longer cared to. Her only focus was on getting her feet away from the overly lined and paved streets from Orpheus's neighborhood and towards the wilderness of the Underworld.

As she got closer, the houses started becoming further and further apart. Selene's song grew longer, and the moon shined brighter above Eurydice. It was a long shot that Pan would be celebrating in the Underworld this full moon, but he regularly took time to visit the forests of Asphodel since Eurydice's death. There was a chance he was there. It was the only thing she needed. Eurydice was abandoning her marriage and the legacy of her relationship with Orpheus for the mere chance that Pan was somewhere in the Underworld.

Eurydice didn't know how long it had been since she started running, but she didn't care. It was like a heady aphrodisiac, being able to run as fast as she could, and it made her feel like a young maiden again. The wind whipped past her hair, and there was a pleasant burn in her legs from the sudden exertion; she reveled in it.

The ground seemed to move of its own accord under Eurydice's feet, pushing her further, getting her to the forest. She didn't question it when the Underworld's magic rose up to greet her, spinning the dirt beneath her feet to get her to her destination faster. She let her head fall back, her red hair shining in the light like a torch, and howled. It was an ancient sound, deep from within the core of her, her wildness calling back to her. That part of Eurydice had been abandoned these past few weeks, and it was furious at her for it. Eurydice was a creature of the open sky, the dirt, the leaves, the tallest trees. To pretend anything else would be a farce; she was no poet's wife. She was no muse. She was nature incarnate, and all of Gaia's ancient rage now simmered in her bones that she had been pushing back against her truest self all for the opinions of a man.

When the forest appeared on the horizon, Eurydice howled again before she started laughing freely. She didn't even think about how unhinged she might appear; she was only thinking about how good it felt to be unchained.

As she skipped past the trees and made her way towards one of her favorite clearings, she could hear the sounds of a full moon feast. It was a familiar scene but one that she never grew tired of.
