once upon a dream
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream // I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam // And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem // But if I know you, I know what you'll do // You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
It took a lot to get Lucinda's attention. All the talk of an island appearing out of thin air after a volcanic eruption was certainly enough to get her out of the desert.
Now she's here, walking across the strange bridge crafted by lava. Her staff floats beside her and she remains vigilant in case anything is lurking in the shadows. There are creatures twisting and turning in the waters below and she simply raises a brow at them. If Abraxia was still by her side, she'd eat them for lunch. It's a shame the dragon was not here as she could easily carry Lucinda to and from the island within minutes. Instead she's left to her own devices and is forced to make the long trek on foot. Her left wing hangs limp as a reminder of the battle and the scars she now wears.
When she finally arrives, she is greeted by a whole different world. In a way, it reminds her of The Moors, but much more tropical. The sands are pearly white, birds are singing a unique song in the distance and she can hear the rustle of the trees further off. One bird lands in front of her feet and its eyes are like diamonds. She snorts at it to scare it away, but it does not seem phased by her appearance. When she whips her staff around, it finally decides to fly off, but not without giving Lu a curious glance.
The mare steps forward, her pace kicking up mounds of sand behind her. She isn't sure what purpose she'll find here, but perhaps there will be rare items she can bring back that will make useful weapons. She notices a patch of dark colored flowers resembling stars and metal. With a small smile, Lu decides to pick one with her teeth and place it in her mane next to her rose.
Her wandering continues towards the woods, feeling eager to see what this island had in store.
(Don't mind me, just bringing these threads back from the dead for xp lmao)
