From the moment she had emerged from that place, that terrible place where she had rested for so long, she had known that it was a different world than it once was. For a while, she had wandered the ruins of the place that once was. She could feel the curse that had settled there, which caused her much discomfort. It bothered her that it was still so strong after who knows how many years.
She strolled along the streets of Connlaoth. She wasn't used to so many people at once in the streets, but it didn't bother her. Neither did the occasional stares that were cast her way. She wanted to stare at them as well. She supposed the new world was alright enough, but it had scared her at first. So many new things, so many new customs. At least some things were the same. She stopped momentarily to look up at a carefully built stone archway above her. She continued walking, then sat down on a short stone wall lining the road. My, how far everything had come.
