trippin'

Living on an island, you'd think that strange things wouldn't be happening like they would be on the mainland. That would be a wrong assumption, as Belladonna has recently found out as things just keep getting worse all over Boreas and Auster. The isle that Fenmyre was settled on wasn't spared any of the strange glowing plants, blue fireflies, or anything. In fact, others kept returning speaking of the strange things they had encountered. Belladonna would be lying if she said she wasn't interested and wanted to check it out for herself.

As she crossed the ferry from the island to Auster, a small swarm of fireflies followed her over. They had been hovering over a small collection of mushrooms, but accompanied her for whatever reason. When she set foot on Auster, immediately the amount of mushrooms littering the beach caught her attention. Sure there were clusters all over the island, but they hardly grew in patches as large as this. It actually seemed like it was trying to create a path, or a road, to something. Curious, Belladonna began to follow the path of mushrooms. Although her legs begged to rest, the curiosity pulled at her until she found herself on a ringlet of sand, surrounding a small pool of ocean water. Around the waters edge, nothing but glowing mushrooms.
