The boy was drawn forward by a promise, a magic that glittered in the distance. His eyes are wide with joy as he beholds the flowers, pressing closer and closer to see what caused the splash of color on the mountainside. Pan is unafraid, though perhaps he should be cautious as he approaches the strange world covered in stranger magic… but to the boy, something so beautiful could hardly be dangerous. And he had to know. The collector in him wanted to drink it all in, to gather each jeweled flower and hoard it as his own, but he knew that he could only take that which he could carry. So he presses onward.
As he nears the field, each flower seemed to come into view, colors vibrant as they danced in the sun. Wind tossed them this way and that, and as he stepped into the field, the world around him appeared to come to life with color. Around him the blooms were a rainbow, all hues of gold, red, and blue. Their leaves and stems even seemed to shine with emerald brilliance, and Pan had to stop to touch them, jumping back only slightly when he found the edges rough where they should be petal-soft.
He should have questioned the strange magic and what had brought the flowers to Bellum Steppe, but instead the boy simply drinks it all in. Tiptoeing through the flowers, he is delighted by the sound they make, like a hum of a thousand wind chimes all at once. Instinctively, he knows that he should only pick one… but the pressure to decide on only a single flower brings him indecisiveness and worry. All around him, the world seems warmer, sunlight beaming from the faceted gemstone faces of the flowers…. But finally one stands out brighter than all the rest.
Ruby petals reach toward him, fringed with a golden citrine at the center. As he steps toward it, Pan picks at the stem gingerly, and carefully places it into his satchel with a smile. It would be one of his most prized possessions, he decided, and offering the field a forelorn look that suggested he never wanted to leave, the boy does finally begin his descent from the Steppe back toward reality once more.
***STAFF EDIT
@pan has rolled a 1! He has been sent the common Agora item Breeding: Healthy Pregnancy for interacting with the flowers.
