Pan made his way through the now familiar swamp, wading through the murky water without fear where the ground became soft and spongy. Fishes and god-knows-what-else darted as his feet treaded through the dark marsh, brushing against him and darting away once more – but it didn’t bother him. Instead, Pan felt like he was some kind of explorer, delving deep into the jungle in search of something interesting. Given his nature, it was likely that he was just wandering and collecting, as Pan was apt to do… but today he moved with a bit more purpose than usual. He had come to take Yana to the party, knowing that the healer would rarely leave the swamp that held her.
He saw her hut in the distance, a curl of smoke escaping from the roof, and a smile crossed the boy’s face. While the queen of the swamp was a bit of a prickly creature, he’d decided some time ago that she was a friend of his. So, he did not hesitate to approach the remote structure, shaking the mud and moss away from his body and doing his best to wipe the dirty murk from the swamp from his pale legs before intruding on her space.
Yana? He called from just outside her house, beckoning the starry healer to come out to his voice, grinning from ear to ear as he saw the flash of her dark coat appearing. We’re having a fall festival, in Delumine. I brought you this. He fished out a slightly mashed pumpkin pastry, handing it to her with a sheepish look. Sorry about that, guess they don’t travel so well… but there’s more where that came from. Do you want to come? I can show you where to go!
