It didn't take long for the hyper excited Dormouse ghoul to find her first adventure!

Near the outskirts of town was a older cloaked gentlemen, he was standing near what appeared to be deflated Hot-air Balloons! Looking around worriedly he soon spots her and begins waving towards her! Wow, someone was actually trying to talk to her! Nodding excitedly, Camilla bounds over to the man and looks curiously at the balloons.

"Excuse me miss! I'm the village Dragonseer and I need some assistance!" he says hastily in concern upon her approach. Her smile turns to a bit of a frown as she looks at him curiously. "What's a Dragonseer and what do you need help with?" she asks in a curious eager tone. She was always happy to help someone in need!

Gladened by her response he continues. "A Dragonseer rides their balloon high up into the sky! Once there, they search for Sandwhales which might be on their way to attack!" he explains with a concerned expression. Soon Camilla's expression was full of concern as well. Sandwhale? While she didn't know what that was, one attacking certainly didn't sound good! "Ok! What do you need me to do?" she says determinedly. Sighing with relief at her acceptance, the Dragonseer points to a deflated Balloon. "The Sandwhales have been very active lately! I can't cover all the patrol by myself! I need more eyes in the air! Could you go up and search for Sandwhales?" he explains worriedly before asking hopefully.

Concern paints her face up until his question. Upon being asked if she'd go up, Camilla smiles brightly and nods! "Of course I will! Heh! I've always wanted to ride in a Hot-air Balloon! And to know I'm helping someone makes it even better!" she announces cheerfully! A thankful smile spreads on the old gentleman's face and he nods in turn. "Thank you miss! Here's what you have to do-" He says before going on to explain things.

It turned out that there was only one properly made balloon! That meant that new ones had to be made on the 'fly' and they only seemed to have one use in them... The Balloons and hardware which supplied the fire were reusable, but the baskets took a beating when they came down, so they had to be made anew each time... The Dragonseer apologies for this inconvenience but Camilla shakes her head. "It's ok! It'll be fun to make my own basket!" she chirps which causes the Dragonseer to smile slightly.

Finally, he shows her to the available basket materials before nodding and leaving her to her work. Immediately Camilla saw the body of her basket! The really really really really really big bottle would work perfectly! It was easily big enough for her to fit in! And even if it wasn't she could shrink to fit! The bottle she choose was a potion style bottle. It had a round body with a stout neck, perfect for 360 viewing! Now, how to attach it...

That question was answered shortly after as she spies the thick rope! Quickly she attaches all the Balloon lines to the rope, then she ties the rope around the neck of the bottle! She was thankful that her father had shown her how to tie a good strong knot! Finally, after attaching the sandbags to the neck of the bottle she steps back.

Her tail wags merrily as she surveys her work. "That is certainly a interesting idea miss!" the Dragonseer comments. "Thanks! Now! Lets see if it works!" she says excitedly.

Eagerly, she turns on the fire and begins inflating the Balloon.

It didn't take long for it to begin to fill up and she quickly ties it down with a spare rope to keep it from floating away. Once the Balloon was filled up completely, Camilla quickly climbs into the bottom and rests with her arms on the lip. "Ok! Here I go!" she announces eagerly before detaching the rope and turning up the flames. "Good luck!" the Dragonseer shouts as she begins to rise into the air.

So far things were going smoothly and once she was a few feet up she slides down into the bottle proper. It didn't take long for her to rise up to the thinner fog clouds, and once she had she gasps in awe!

It was beautiful up here! And, she could see everything from her glass basket!

The first thing she notices was the shape of the Village. It was curiously S shaped... One would assume that it was that way for a reason. Most Villages, Towns, and Cities, are shaped by the land. But... She couldn't see any geographic reason why the Village should be S shaped... Very curious! That was one new mystery!

The next thing she noticed was just how far the fog stretched... It encompassed a huge area and seemed to go on as far as the eye could see! That... struck her as odd... Coming from a city that was almost perpetually drenched in fog... She knew how fog worked. Moist air and warm land was typically needed. However, this air seemed fairly dry... and there even seemed to be a desert! She could spot some bodies of water, but not enough it would seem to cause all this fog... And with it ALWAYS being foggy... she wasn't sure how the land could warm up enough... She knew there were other ways to create fog... But... She was now starting to seriously wonder about how... natural... the fog was... Another mystery!

Finally, as she rose higher and higher she remembered she was up here for a reason! Quickly she looks in the direction she was told to scan. To her relief, she didn't see any large whale like creatures approaching the harbor currently! Satisfied with her job, she lays back and just takes in the scenery for a bit.

However, only a few minutes into her sightseeing she realizes something... She was cold... Wait! She was very cold! And she'd almost fallen asleep! She'd been enjoying the sights so much that she'd lost track of how high she was going! Now was too high and still climbing! "Oh... dear...!" she says as urgently as she could in a drowsy tone! The cold was causing her mind to fog up with sleep and she was finding it hard to get up in the rounded body with her mind drowsy as it was!

And things would soon get worse yet! Above her were ominous looking clouds with a purple tint around them, clouds she was heading right for! The air was getting thinner and thinner while things got colder and colder! Sleep tugged at her mind while she fought to catch her breath! Soon, she was in among the purple tinted clouds and the air seemed to get heavier somehow! This unfortunately, made it even harder to breath!

Finally, somehow she was able to pull herself out of the bottle and turn the flames down. This stopped the balloon from rising any higher and once it began to sink back to the ground she slides down into the bottle again. "A-ah... huff... huff... T-that... w-was... huff... huff... t-too... c-close..." she gasps out between breaths in a drowsy tone. Once the balloon was low enough, she starts to warm up and catch her breath. Laying back, she just rests there until she feels the bottle land with a jarring thun! "Oof! Least I'm back down..." she mumbles to herself as she slowly begins to climb up. After turning the fire off completely, she climbs out and takes a few deep breaths...

"Are you alright miss!? I saw you go much too high!" the Dragonseer asks worriedly as he quickly approaches her. "Y-yeah..." she says after taking another deep breath. While she said yeah, she wasn't entirely sure... Her head felt a little funny... and it didn't just seem to be due to lack of oxygen, nor did it seem due to her biology and the fact that she'd gotten so cold either... Still... There was no point in worrying. "I didn't see any Sandwhales while I was up there." she reports finally once everything seemed mostly to right. This causes the fretting Dragonseer to smile weakly. "This is good... Thank you for your help miss!" he says in a thankful tone.

Smiling, Camilla nods happily! "Your welcome!" she chirps cheerfully and gives a merry tail twirl. Though she'd gotten in trouble, the view, the new mysteries, the fact that it was her first Balloon ride, and the fact that she'd helped someone all added up to it being a pleasant experience for the Dormouse ghoul!

Eventually, after a bit more chatting, Camilla waves to the Dragonseer who waves back in turn, before heading off to find her next adventure. Maybe in some place warm... she was still a bit chilled...
