Nitrogen, ozone, petrichor. As you pass through the plaited branches, a soft rain begins to patter down onto the grass and soil, bringing its fresh aromas, and its refreshing coolness. As the clouds gather and darken, there’s a sudden flash of lightning from above, a mighty crack of thunder, and our dear friend Tempest descends to sweep you into a customary bear hug and congratulate you on your victory. (Funnily enough, a storm came along and temporarily knocked out the power while I was writing this. Seems it was meant to be.^^)

A lively chattering and chirping draws you through the bower, and you step into a small clearing that seems quite the avian paradise. There’s a fluttering of wings here, a blur of colour there, as merry songbirds flit about, their countless voices – humble, proud, raucous, joyous – fill the air around you. Some draw near, bearing gifts – and surely, you must feel like something of a fairytale princess. The songbirds delight in your company, settling around to serenade you until you take your leave once more.

Determined, you press on, finding a meadow that seems more grotto than glade. It’s humid here, but pleasantly cool, and as you take a seat at the centre of the ring, you find yourself swathed in the mushrooms’ otherworldly glow. Perhaps you’re only exhausted from your expedition, but you soon find yourself mesmerized, your senses awash with the trancelike thumping of tiny drums, the delicate tinkling of tiny bells, the airy song of reeds and pipes, as spectral fae folk cavort around you. Before you can be sure what you’ve experienced was real or imagined, you find yourself awakening, having fallen asleep as you sat amidst the fungi – with a bounty of mushrooms gathered at your feet.

Thanks for playing, all! , the next round is yours. ^^

You come across a beautiful cave full of crystals which do you pick

Red Blue Pastel

I deeply resonate with the red one. <3 I actually got a present from a friend recently and it was an actual red crystal! Quite the coincidence, haha.

@ Butterflies Sapphire is my birthstone so I'll go with blue.

I'll choose pastel -- I appreciate its calmness.

thank you, thank you, love love my prezzies <3

Glad to hear it; you're most welcome ^^

As you try to pick up the red crystal you realise it is burning, you drop it to the ground and amongst the pieces you find Gemstone Embers

Your crystal is being guarded by a beautiful blue dragon, you cannot find a way to reach it but in a corner you find some awesome Sapphire Scales - Congrats you are the winner

You reach for your crystal but it is giving off a protective glow and you cannot get close enough to grab it. You accidentally stumble over something in the sand. Yay you found some Sand Gemstones

Bloody WINNER You enter a dark room. You hear growling... you try to escape but it's futile, the door has closed behind you. You suddenly feel sharp pain... everywhere. You fall unconscious and when you wake, you are back where you started. You now know why that door was supposed to remain shut... you examine yourself & discover:

Sandy You open the door and water starts gushing in. It's too strong to fight against. Once the room is filled you swim through the door to discover...
