[Welcome to the curse, Vatheonites. Welcome to the fairy tale.

And with the tale, the world has changed. Nothing remains of the city that once was; now there are fantastical and crazy things, things that would be only found in books--and yet here they are.

There are a few places of note, however. A few places that might draw the intrepid adventurer, the curious.

To begin--

The Forest-- here can be found...well, trees. But other than trees, there are fairies, and curious shadows and eyes and things hiding where you do not want things to hide. Overall, it's not very safe anymore! Wolves might be on the prowl, mystical creatures that think that you sure do look a lot like lunch. And hidden deep within the forest in a system of sprawling caves lurks a dragon. Sitting on a pile of golden treasure.

The princess can be found there. Sure hope the dragon isn't sitting on her, whoops.

The Pirate Ship-- this one is much more straightforward. Namely, that there are pirates and they're out for your blood. But the ship itself is winding and filled with (empty) treasure chests and nasty sea critters that are, surprise surprise, also out for your blood. You might have to fight a pirate chief to save the princess in this labyrinth.

The Briar Patch/Towers-- where the carnival once stood there are now a couple of ominous towers, empty or filled with scuttling, skittery creatures or perhaps an unlucky slumbering foreigner. There are nasty thorns growing all over, but maybe if you're careful you can break through and find the one tower that houses the witch. Be careful--she has spells to throw at you. But she's also guarding another princess, so maybe it's worth the fight and...the flying monkeys.

The meadow-- deep in the lower district there is now a large meadow. Looks harmless, right? Only if you venture too far in, you will come across what look to be...monsters? Monsters of all shapes and sizes, vicious and ready to kill...except they're just illusions. The illusions get more and more real the closer you get to the center of the meadow, however. Some of them might even be able to actually bite, so be careful. Deep in the meadow there is a unicorn who is holding a poor princess captive. Can anyone rescue them?

Anyone is welcome to make a thread--princesses or princes or average Vatheonite pixie! Threadjack, have fun, be creative! Just remember that only the princesses' ~one true love~ will succeed...but everyone is welcome to give it a shot.]

[Cielo can't really place what Serph is at all. He looks kind of like a cross between several things he's either seen or knows about for some reason or another.

At first, he wonders if Serph is wounded, but he then notices that Serph looks more dejected than anything else. Cielo cranes his neck down so that he's eye level with Serph.]


What are you doing here?

[Serph raises one flipper before turning his head to look meaningfully into the forest. There's a lake in there, and he thinks he'll enjoy swimming around in that far more than lumbering around as he is.]

[It isn't too hard to piece together what Serph isn't saying: that he wants to go to the forest. Moving around must really be difficult for him, huh?]

You want to go in there? I'll help you then.
bufudine: (roger that :|)

[Yes it is. If Serph was the type, he'd be so jelly of your wings right now.

Is that so? Well, having another pair of eyes in that uninviting forest will be helpful. And while he can't seem to transform as he is, his current form has bulk Varna doesn't have.

Serph raises himself off the ground, back legs curled under him as he shuffles his way forward. LEAD THE WAY, SCOUT!]

[Oh...yeah, that looks pretty awkward.]

You just lean on me whenever you need to, ja?

[Good thing he's a giant peacock. Cielo gives Serph a light pat with one of his wings for encouragement before speeding up to walk in front of him.]

[Serph appreciates the sentiment, but he thinks he'll probably crush Cielo if he falls on him. Nevertheless, it's good to have his comrade with him, and its with calmness that he (awkwardly) follows Cielo into the forest]
