Description

The breeze hits Illustrei in the face, followed closely by strands of grass. As they shook the debris out of their eyes, Illustrei looked around his new environment. They seem to be in grassy cliffside, with its peak rising before them. It seems to be dusk, with night time slowly drifting in. A peculiar object, surrounded by motes of light, catches their attention. It floats in an almost... deliberate manner, followed by another one of the objects. This raises Illustrei's curiosity, and they pounce after the floating lights.

As they got closer, they saw that they were objects made of paper and a light wood, with a mystical candle emitting slowly-dying motes of orange light. Illustrei followed them to the tip of the cliffside, where they seemed to congregate.

Climbing to the edge of the cliff, they were greeted by a beautiful sight: the forest they call home to their right, and the quiet volcano to their left. At the far end of the shoreline, they spot a river and the silhouette of a windmill further back, bathed in a purple shadow. A small glint caught their eye, and as they scanned it they saw what appears to be the lifesaver they just were on, with the two poles still stuck inside of it. The lanterns seemed to dance around Illustrei for a bit, bathing him in a orange glow. The necklace around them started to shine and melt into a warm light, before drifting towards the lanterns. The wind kept blowing, and the triangular objects started scattering into the horizon, with strands of dry grass following close by in apparent pursuit.

For a little while, all Illustrei heard was the wind blowing around them, with a few seagulls squawking and the waves lapping against the shoreline. Time seemed to not matter, and next thing they knew the sun had almost set completely. They turned around only to be greeted by another portal, but this one hummed in a comforting tone. Illustrei walked towards it, still a little anxious about the strange way they have been traveling for the past... day? Week? They didn't know - but they hardly cared.

As the light washed away, Illustrei lay at the shoreline near their river. It is night now - the fireflies are buzzing amidst the cattails. They suddenly became exhausted, and decided to head to their old sleeping spot to finally rest.

As Illustrei drifted off to sleep, they decided they wouldn't think too much about their strange adventure until next morning...

aaaaa I took way too long to make this due to life getting busy and an art block kicking me in the shins but its finally done ;u;
