Her fur was caked in mud and her mind fuzzy. (So where is she? 🙂 and is Snowdove going to be ok?) (Oh, a place ) It was dark and dreary, the only light coming from the hole in the top. "Hello?" An echoey voice said softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You took quite a fall. Are you alright?" A male nicheling stepped forward, sniffing her tentatively. His fur was a pale brown, black circles framing his eyes and a darker brown in various markings on his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, while I couldn't see that, judging from the sound i'd say you're about right." He took another step forward, circling around her for a moment before using his shoulder to pull her up.

Issi didn't want to lean on a stranger but she couldn't help herself as her body was weak and exhausted. "Issi." She mumbled out as her eyes close for a second to long. She forced her eyes open and took a labored breath. I need to stay awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her body was barely functioning as is and that's just because she's sure that they must have used a bit of the healing plant on her. Her limbs felt to heavy to figure out what was broken and her fur caked with mud didn't help with it. She shakes her head lightly. Don't know, I could be bleeding out.

Some light shown ahead, and he led her to it. It seemed they were in a tunnel, and a soft breeze ruffled their fur. Outside the tunnel, there was a beautiful sight. Trees with pink leaves and petals, falling gently to the ground. A stream with a small waterfall running between two trees, a beautiful blue sky, and soft grass. "Tell me, Issi, what does this look like?" His head faced forward, staring straight at everything, expression unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She blinked a few times just to make sure she wasn't starting to get delusional too. The pink petals falling grabbed her attention. Reminds me of Pathfollower's place, but can't tell him that. "I'm dead." She whispered as her eyes went all over the place every time she thought that she had seen everything something else got her attention.

Startled at her own inner voice Issi gave a panicked look around her. 'You'll just end up hurting more.' Issi hesitated and looked at her paws covered in mud and the exposed cover in scars and blood. But I made a promise to stay and protect Bubbli and what about Finch? I should keep it, right? Issi stopped and looked at the lightly colored Niche before her. "Why can't I leave?"

"I'm not allowed to leave the tunnels unless I'm guiding someone." He stepped over a creek. Despite being blind, he seemed very well coordinated. "Here." They came to a large clearing with a giant lake, several nichelings ran around or dozed in the sun. A giant blossom tree covered in pink and golden petals was in the middle of the lake, and a giant blue crystal was lodged inside the trunk.

Her jaw dropped and her eyes big as she tried to take in everything. "So beautiful." Issi cringed and looked at Hunter. "Sorry, it must be hard for you." She didn't mention the blindness because she didn't want to offend him but she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him. "You said that you where here for a long time, where you one of the firsts?" She tried to change the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forever wanted to finish something, but now, I forever cant." His sightless eyes stared blankly at the tree, and a couple of children stumbled around their paws, running away right after. "Go.

Lifting her paw she took a step forward, then another one. Is this safe? Should I trust him? This could be what is really keeping everyone here. 'It's safe, your safe here.' Issi frowned but she kept walking and stopped at the water edge. She took a deep breath. I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
