Taki's Arrival
Taki the Myrgwae smiled cheerfully as she sat upon a rock, looking out across the wide open plains of this new world she’s found. Where she was exactly, she didn’t know, but that didn’t overly worry the carefree feline fae. This was a new place to explore, new sights to see and things to do!
She’d come upon the gateway quite by accident, while traveling through a lovely woodland and enjoying listening to the birds sing. Abruptly, after she’d hopped across some river stones, she encountered a massively large tree with a gaping opening beneath. Instantly her curiosity perked. Thoughts of what would be inside his at once: a thief’s hiding place (treasure!), an animal’s den (cute babies!), a Taki-sized cubby (fun camping!), and a hundred more besides, and with typical Myrgwae fearlessness she’d crawled right in.
It quickly became dark, making her feel around as the ground inside the tree sloped downwards, becoming a tunnel. She eagerly pressed on as dirt lightly showed upon her, not minding a bit, until abruptly the tunnel opened into a pit that she tumbled tail over end through in seemingly open air! For a moment Taki felt a pant of surprise, but not fear, then there was a warm, fresh breeze, a burst of sunshine and the scents of grass and flowers, and she somersaulted across soft grass to end up sitting in a new field. After shaking her head to clear the stars and adjusting her hat, she looked around to see she didn’t recognize anything. Looking behind, open plains as far as the eye could see.
For a moment, Taki pouted. She hadn’t finished exploring her home world! Then she saw a foreign flower blooming a couple feet away, and eagerly crawled over to smell its sweet scent. In the distance, she saw a herd of a deer-like creature, though they didn’t quite look the same. And a noise drew her gaze upwards to see a powerful beast flying overhead the likes of which she’d only heard of: a dragon! Instantly she leapt to her feet with a big smile, deciding this new world seemed wonderful to explore! After patting her clothes clean, she cheerfully jogged off, following the dragon’s direction to see beyond the horizon.
(200 word challenge - gaping; I hope I did this right since this was my first, and posted it in the right place. It's just kinda my character entering the world of Wildecrest Wyre, and I'll be following the story from there.)
