~Greetings~ Angelle. An interesting prologue that held my interest. The story title is intriguing, and will lure many a reader (but does need some editing, in my opinion).
My first suggestion is to double space the paragraphs to make a better presentation plus make it easier to read.
Some grammatical errors that I noticed...
upon topping the rise. “I can't wait till I finally get to that inn. I really need a bath I would delete the underscores in this sentence. If you feel the need to emphasize, perhaps you should bold these two words.
water without setting fire to the trees. This seems more of a statement rather than a question.
It’s amazing how the people here built their homes inside the trees. I wonder if they cut into the trees or if they were hollow to begin with,” she looked up to the sun, then back to the trees and sighed, “At this rate I’ll only have enough time for a quick rinsing before I have to get to work,” she looked back to the sun, “but maybe if I hurry I’ll be able to get a good soak in,” and so with that thought in mind she set off towards her inn, so to seek a good bath. Ramble, ramble, ramble. Perhaps, you might consider breaking this up into smaller sentences?

Sorry, if I seem to be nitpicking...but the above are things that I stumbled over while enjoying my read.
Your last sentence is wonderful...a very descriptive ending to the prologue that makes the reader want to discover more of your writing.
Should you decide to edit, I'd be more than happy to r&r again.
The storyline is great so I opted for the higher of 2.5 to 3.0, but if I picked up a novel and began to read, only to find myself struggling through it, I'd close the cover and pick up another.
