"What's that, huh? What's that?!" This was the first time Misaki had ever seen such an accessory. Especially one that looked like a fruit she'd never come across in her life. Pumpkins were something new to the little perma-cub elemental. It hadn't been more than a few seconds since she'd come across the striped female before her now. The call had seemed to bounce throughout the forest, but even that didn't deter her from her mission. "What is that mask?"Curiosity shone brightly in her eyes as she hovered above the other, moving as close to said mask as possible. It wasn't until she was mere inches from the other's horns that she recalled her true reason for being here. "Oh yeah!" Pulling back, she bobbed in the air for a moment. "You called?" she giggled. "This one was kinda hard to follow, but no worries! I'm still ready to help!" Looking up to the tree tops, her eyes began to glow, causing the world around them to shiver and begin to melt into itself. In a sudden white flash, the normal world disappeared, leaving a desaturated one in its stead.
"This is your heart world," she revealed softly, looking around. "It's not very bright, huh?" The seriousness of her voice was very slight. There was still obvious laughter in her tone. "But you can make it all better!" Rising a little bit higher, she pointed a paw to the peek out a mountain in the distance. Most of it was hidden by trees. "See that?" she asked. "You have to make it to the other side of the mountain. Find the cave and you'll know what to do next."
Smiling, she began to fade from the world. "Good luck, Miss Karol!" Floating backwards, she was nearly gone. "I know you can do it! I believe in you!" Laughter echoed from her maw. "Bye-bye~!" And she was gone, leaving only her giggles through the trees. Now Karol was alone, left to find the answers on her own.
Your adventure begins now. Good luck.
