once upon a dream
Lucinda did not think that the island could become a stranger place, but it was starting to.
She is not sure if it's someone's illusionary magic at work or the gods' doing. She saw a flower sprout, bloom and die right in front of her eyes within minutes. There were stories of the forest going through all the seasons at once and foals being eaten by holes in the ground.
The biggest change of all is the sun and how it refuses to set. It was as if someone had stopped time, not only on the island, but all across Novus. She looks up at the sky, squinting from the bright light. The motive behind all this is not clear, but perhaps it's connected to the relic somehow. Had someone found it and used it to stop time everywhere? It might explain why she has yet to find the item herself.
Just when she thinks she's feeling bored by the land, it manages to think up something to make her want to stay. Lucinda wonders if that's the point of its existence- to lure others in and never let them leave. She feels confident in not being put under its spell as she already has plans to leave in the morning (whatever morning was anymore).
For now she set off to find something to eat and thinks of her plan to head back to Solterra soon.
(Don't mind me, just bringing these threads back from the dead for xp lmao)
"Speaking."
