[EVENT] Each One a Treasure

[Polyxena]

The pendant adorning Polyxena’s throat emits a soft glow and is warm to the touch. Every step she takes the pendant pulses stronger, warmer; drawing her to the lonely high plains. The wind murmurs through the dry grasses and a curious, melancholic tune is carried by the gentle breeze. Soft, at first, almost timid. Then more urgent. She hears a voice; a beautiful, sad, keening voice. A whisper of warning, perhaps. She can nearly taste the magic in the air and the strange energy of this place makes her heart pound like a wild drum with excitement. Has she discovered a well of magic in this new land?  She approaches cautiously. The dry, trampled grass has fallen away to a rolling carpet of color, petals, and the sweet perfume of something like a goddess might wear. Polyxena stands motionless at the edge of the sea of ethereal flowers. The gentle breeze caresses strands of her wine colored hair lovingly, drawing them across her face and bidding her to step forward into the unknown. She holds her breath, straining to hear the sad, crooning melody that has drawn her to this place but a hush has enveloped the area in a silent, still embrace. The pendant is so warm on her skin that it burns her throat. It is all she can do to remain at the edge of the flowers with the wind grabbing and pulling more urgently at her hair. She longs to feel the petals brush her skin…but she is not familiar with the laws of magic in this new land and from previous encounters she knows most strands of wild magic to be feral and treacherous. This is the kind of magic one cannot tame. She realizes with bitter disappointment that this well of magic is not something she can claim for herself. She frowns with distaste at this sudden realization but does not dismiss the opportunity to learn something new about the properties of this wild magic. At the wind’s whispering, musical behest, she steps amid the flowers. The petals leave a shimmering residue on her skin like the velvet dust from butterfly wings. ***STAFF EDIT @Polyxena has rolled a 5! She has been awarded +1 EXP point for interacting with the flowers. P O L Y X E N A there's a serpent in these still waters, lying deep down to that king I will bow, at least for now
