[EVENT] Each One a Treasure

look at the stars
look how they shine for you

“Have you ever seen anything like them before, papa?”

Looking on from a cautionary distance, Regis took in the glittering sight of the flowers undulating gently in the breeze. They didn’t bear the usual petals of all the other flowers he’d seen in his year of life, replaced instead by gemstones of every shape, color, and variety known to him. His curiosity begged him to stray closer, but something seemed incredibly off about this place; not just because of the flowers themselves, but the way that the grass around them was strangely decayed. It screamed ‘wrong’ at him.

Eyes transfixed, Regis’ concentration was broken when a voice creeped into the back of his mind. ‘Come closer,’ it beckoned to him, ‘Come see my beauty for yourself.’ A soft gasp escaped past his lips, heterochromatic eyes growing wide as he took a step backward so that he stood between both his father and Ulric, who had chosen to accompany them for the day. Glancing between them but unwilling to take his gaze away from the field for too long, he spoke softly, trying his best to sound brave despite the tremor of fear that wavered his voice. He was idly aware of the way Milo pressed into his foreleg in an effort to comfort him, his ears back as he, too, gazed at the field with a low growl forming in the back of his throat.

“Did… did you hear that?” The Prince asked, craning his neck to look over his shoulder. “I-I don’t think we should go any closer.” Was he a coward for suggesting it? His father had told him once before that he would sometimes need to search for clues even if it seemed absolutely insane, but this place felt as though it harbored far more evil than the pool they’d found some time back – even if the visit had stolen a portion of his eyesight away from him.

"Speaking."

***STAFF EDIT
@Regis has rolled a 3! Perhaps he has decided to pick a flower to take home with him; however, bad luck will dog his heels for the next 1 RL month (half an IC season). You can decide what the details of his bad luck entail, pm @nestle or @sid if you want ideas!
