Oh god it was cold.
How long had she been asleep?
Dead grass rustled and bones creaked as she turned over. Her limbs still felt heavy, but her fingers weren’t numb anymore. The thick sap clogging her veins was starting to let her blood flow again. At last.
She stretched and sat up, shaking dried leaves from her hair. A deep breath of cold air stung her throat, but she could taste the spice in the wind. Her scalp tingled at the scent, already pushing up shoots.
The change in the weather had woken her.
Time to be green again.

Back to the elementals again! This is obviously an Earth elemental, but one comfortable with this state (unlike the last one!) I love the sap/blood comparison.
This is partially inspired by Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood, a book I checked out from the library on a whim and fell in love with. (This book is available for purchase at a penny, and I should buy it.)
