float away, open wide
The changes on the island were not as noticeable at first. Here and there, Morrighan would catch something in the corner of her eye but dismissed it as her imagination. Now she could no longer ignore it, especially after what happened with the young boy and woman back in the forest.
She could still remember looking up and seeing the trees change before them. It was like time had gone into hyperspeed and the seasons changed in front of them. Only it wasn't just one season, it was all of them… at once. The trees shook and shed their leaves which shriveled up into brown crisps beneath their hooves. The now empty branches loomed over them only to slowly blossom again with new buds that sprouted flowers. Within seconds they shed the petals and turned to fresh greenery again. The mare had been left wondering if she had been dreaming or maybe one of the mysterious fruits she had eaten was starting to affect her. From what she could tell, this was simply how the island was acting now.
As if the walls and walls of ivy and the berries with hearts weren't creepy enough, now all this. It also seemed since the strange episode in the woods, the sun no longer set. It still appeared to move across the sky, but night no longer existed here. It didn't sit well with the mare and she was starting to feel that her time on this island was coming to a close. Besides, the relic hunt was seeming to be a bust anyway.
Then again, she didn't want to be seen as a coward who ran at the first sign of danger. Morrighan grumbled and headed off in the direction of the pool for a drink. As she walked on, she realized the ocean waves nearby no longer roared in her ears. It seemed time had completely stopped here and she only hoped she had not become a prisoner. Although if that was the case, she'd gladly set the place on fire.
unafraid with open eyes
