[Secured ITEM Conversation - Luna and Elara - July 20, 2024]
Elara - Heyyyyyyyy Luna, mind if I come over? I can confirm Nova has no way to track me.
Luna - No! You are not coming over. We got Norn here.
Elara - But Luuuuuna! I wanna see what The Gang house is like!
Luna - But she's a NORMIE! She's terrified of magic too!
Elara - Ugh! Even if I don't use magic? I promise not to cast Inferno Wind on her.
Luna - Come tomorrow okay? We can spar and stuff then.
Elara - Fiiiiiine. How y'all doin btw?
Luna - Decent. A little hungover. Hinata's fine as well. And the rest of us are safe too.
Elara - That's good, that's good. Well catch ya soon sis?
Luna - Yeah. Bye Ella.
The next day, Elara heads out from her hole in the wall and goes to grab lunch. Seeing how she doesn’t have much cash however, she settles for some water and a couple of the granola bars in her backpack. Elara’s downgraded heavily from the old Portal Bag she owned at one point to a simple drawstring backpack, one that carries Mr. Bunnykins, her cherished friend when she had no other friends. It watches over her from her backpack warding off any enemies by making them feel incredibly paranoid like they’re being watched.
Elara pulls out her cellphone to check the address Luna gave her for the house and is instead met with confusion. “Wait coordinates? Uhhh okay, sure.” She plugs the coordinates into her Map app and tilts her head noticing two cottages around a couple hundred feet from each other in the middle of the forest outside of Fairview, “She lives in the forest? Ah, so that’s the other cottage, the one with the normie in it.”
After confirming directions, Elara makes her way into the forest and nearly immediately gets lost, her GPS app glitching out. “Where am I? I swear Luna’s gonna tease me for having a bad sense of direction,” Elara sighs. Mr Bunnykins seems to sense something off and lets Elara know telepathically. She asks it confused, “Wait what? But that can’t be, aren’t those native to our world?” As soon as she finishes speaking, however, something is immediately wrong. The forest she was once in is now bare. Instead of hundreds of trees acting like a gigantic labyrinth, she now stands in a sudden clearing. Despite the hot weather, she sees what could only be described as a winter wonderland considering chill in the air, snow on the ground, and sudden temperature drop even though it’s the middle of July.
A loud growl is heard in front of Elara and she faints as a creature clad in white approaches. Ͳհҽ çɾҽąէմɾҽ ʍօѵҽʂ էօ ąէէąçҟ հҽɾ մղçօղʂçìօմʂ ҍօժվ ҍҽƒօɾҽ հҽɾ ահօӀҽ ҍօժվ ժìʂąքքҽąɾʂ ìղ ą ƒӀąʂհ օƒ ɾҽժ. The creature tilts its head as it too disappears, taking the winter landscape with it and returning the forest to normal. Elara then finds herself right in front of Luna's house.
