Re: Activation Serum (Too Many People to Name Here)
This mountain was cold. Invigorating. It was no Iron Cutlass Peak, but by the gods, it was the closest she had come in quite some time.
Maybe cold wasn't necessarily the right direction, Hayden thought as she trudged through the snow. Some of the other sprites had said that before. Maybe she should be searching for somewhere warm and grassy--provided that it wasn't already taken over by forest sprites. There was nothing she could do about that. They were the next level after earth; her kind enriched the soil, and then those of the forest were ushered in to cultivate life. She had to leave, no questions asked.
Perhaps there were no mountains left for her on this world; that was the worrying thought that came every few days in her search. Water and ice sprites lived upon the coldest mountains, and forest sprites upon the warm ones. Was there no inbetween left? Hayden sat down by a frozen stream and pondered this, ignoring the nip of frostbite on her ears and toes. Iron Cutlass was the only cool mountain with warm waters. There would be nowhere else.
The sprite fell asleep for a time, dreaming of hot springs and carefree days amongst the furry creatures of the mountains. When she awoke, she found that the visor of her helmet had fallen down over her eyes, and a green, blurry light was dancing before her. Trick of the light? Or am I just seeing things because of the weather's effects on me?
There was a name, it seemed, flashing before her; and then the light changed, and it was this...vaguely circular shape. A dome, even. There was a rumbling in the snow underneath her, and then her hands felt ice change to...wood?
She lifted her visor and looked down. She was sitting on a door. The oak creaked for a moment, as if yawning, and then opened its mouth and swallowed her up.
OoC: Meh, but it gets the job done. Hopefully later posts will be better.
