it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake when i'm asleep
'cause everything is never as it seems
❖
This place is so far from home and the Dellymean… Deloom… whatever it's called land. But I heard rumors of a tree that appeared out of nowhere and just had to see it for myself. The way people were describing it, it sounded so magical! Like something out of a dream or very special magic. A kind of magic I'd love to have myself some day. I could just create things out of nothing and have them be so beautiful for everyone to see. Just being able to create something to make someone smile would be a dream in itself.
For now, I'm off to admire the thing of someone else's creation. At this point, I've sneaked off from both of my moms, so I'm sure I'll get an earful soon. Momma Zahra doesn't seem to mind as much as Momma Morr though.
When I come upon the tree, it's even more beautiful than it was described to me. The tree's bark is like glass, almost reminding me of the Eventide Arch back home. At first, the grass around it looks like sand, but I see that it is indeed grass upon my approach. There are flowers too, as if the season of spring is encapsulated here.
However, what's most spectacular about all this are the leaves on the trees. They're more like something made from stardust than the leaves I'm used to. I so badly want to reach up and touch one or maybe take one for myself, but I'm too short. I frown.
I look at the tree's trunk again and marvel at how it reflects the sunset behind me. I wish this was closer to home so I could show Momma Morr how pretty it is, but also so I could visit more often. Part of me wants to stay here forever.
